Tony Gagliano Memorial Cruising Trophy

Congratulations Dave and Chris Crippen "Fox & Viven" for winning the 2009 Tony Gagliano cruising award. This is the second year in a row that the Crippens have been our top cruisers. Their extensive travels took them through and around the LI sound,out to Block Island and Buzzards Bay.

 

The Tony Gagliano Memorial Cruising Trophy was established in honor of the late Tony Gagliano. Tony was an avid cruiser, friend and long time Hudson Cove Yacht Club member. The contest includes both a sailing vessel winner and a powerboat winner.

The basic rules are as follows:

Log the number of nautical miles cruised, along with the date, departing and arriving ports on the contest log sheet. Click for Log

A cruising segment must be between two different points. Day sails or motors ending back at same port do not count towards your cruising total. (It’s just fun)

Sailors, sorry but additional miles tacked do not count toward the total nautical miles. Direct line nautical miles only.

Contest Time frame – Memorial Day through September 30th.

Submissions are due October 1st. Submit your entry to Cruising Fleet Captain Steve Weinerman.

It's that simple!

At the Holiday Party we will announce the winner as well as the total miles cruised by all of the Hudson Cove Yacht Club fleet. Even if you don’t get to cruise a lot this season, please submit your adventures to add to the total club mileage.
