Navicula Trophies for Best Cruising Logs
Rules and Entry to the Competition
Two sailing trophies will be awarded for the best logs of
cruises completed in the current year: one for boats up to 10m & the
other or over 10m (LOA). The log duration should be up to two weeks
but may form part of a longer cruise that should be included in a
short summary whether in local, UK or foreign waters.
‘Log’ means a report of the cruise presented in such a way as to be
original, interesting and readable as well as providing a useful and
accurate record to others planning or engaged in a similar cruise.
The log entry should be printed double line spaced on A4 single side
plain paper and should be accompanied by relevant illustrations,
plans, route sketches etc. The title page should give details of the
route, duration and dates, vessel including LOA and crew. It is
advised that copies, one electronic be kept. Emphasis will be given
by the judges on the cruising achievement, considering route,
weather, etc, readability and presentation, navigation, pilotage and
other cruising information and seamanship under all conditions. The
trophies are perpetual challenge trophies being inscribed with the
year and name of the winning boat and remain property of the
Tollesbury Cruising Club.
Each of these boats will also receive a personal memento. Entries
for the Navicula Cruising Log Trophies should be submitted to the
TCC office by the 1st October. The winners will be announced and
trophies are usually presented each year at the Laying Up Supper.
All entries remain property of the authors but unless refused in
writing at submission, it is understood that the TCC has the
appropriate rights to publish the logs in the Club journal, 'Up the
Creek'.
