Ancient Mariner 2011

By Skipper Jim West

Ancient Mariner Regatta at the carrier museum USS Hornet, May 2011

It took 27 years and happened without fanfare.

In 1984 the Tiki Too was the first all-girls crew to ever get the highest class award, "Clipper", at the country's most important Sea Scout competition, Ancient Mariner Regatta. Through the years Tiki has fielded an increasingly competitive team.

In 1989 the Tiki Too was the first all-girls crew to row in the pullboat finals at AMR.

In 2011, for the first time ever - an all-girls team was the most successful crew in competition in the 25 events over two days at  at AMR, it was once again, the Tiki Too!       Congratulations girls!       Good job!

Clipper Class, Resolute Mariner, lots of place awards, an enjoyable Drill-Off performance and First Place in Scuttlebutt, Bosun's Chair, Mystery, Flotilla Drill and with 100% - Ship Knots.
