Old Salt’s 2013

Written By Kelly Lindblom

By Skipper Jim West

Much of the training season was spent swapping engines to re-power Liberty, PTF-26 but the Tiki girls still squeezed in some time to train. They won, or placed in, 14 of 17 events at the 65th anniversary event:

  • First Place: Knots - 100%, Compass & Relative Bearings - 100%, Radio with near-perfect. They were the only crew with perfect knots and shared perfect compass with the Challenger

  • Second Place: Breeches Buoy, Flotilla, Drill, Piloting, Bucket Brigade and Mystery

  • Third Place: Mariners Quiz, Marlispike, Bosun's Chair (possibly the best an all-girls crew has done with the 9 person event at OSR)

  • Fourth Place: Scuttlebutt, Sailing ID

  • Top 5 crew activities: Qualified and competed in Scuttle-off and Regatta Relay, both with credible performances.

  • The Tiki Too also won the Joe Bjorkman Sportsmanship Trophy!
