Guidelines for Catalina 22 Fleet 47 Trophy Competitions
There are two perpetual awards presented by Catalina 22 Fleet 47 each year; the Catalina 22 Boat Of The Year and the Mac Naughton Trophy. These are awarded for the purpose of promoting Catalina 22 sailing activities and a spirit of friendly competition within Fleet 47 on Eagle Mountain Lake in Fort Worth, Texas. The perpetual trophies reside at the Fort Worth Boat Club and are presented at their annual awards banquet around mid-November. The winners are selected by the presiding officers of Fleet 47. At the discretion of the fleet officers, “keeper” trophies may also be presented to the winners. Guidelines for competing and selecting the winners of these awards are as follows:
