Liberty Maritime supports an all-female Sea Scout crew, based in Sacramento and Rio Vista, California.
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.
Ancient Mariner Regatta, May 2010
2010 was an especially successful competition season. The crew was even busier
year than usual. They brought in a number of new crew members and trained hard
for the regattas. Tiki Too placed First overall at Seafarers Regatta in Martinez,
Second overall at Old Salts Regatta in Redwood City and more or less tied with
two SoCal groups for First overall at the Ancient Mariner Regatta (AMR). AMR was
held onboard and near the National Historic Landmark aircraft carrier USS
Hornet. The crew won the highest Class award, Clipper at both AMR and Old Salts.
They won the Spirit Award at Seafarers and the Sportsmanship trophy at Old
Salts. During the course of the season the crew won 16 First Place awards and
numerous place awards. They were the only crew with perfect knots at Old Salts
and AMR and perfect Compass and Relative Bearings at AMR. They won First Place
in the exciting rescue event, Breeches Buoy, at all 3 regattas.

Kelly Jo Lindblom Angulo - "In 2003 we did awesome. We won Clipper at OSR and AMR. At AMR, we clipper'd, winning knots and compass with 100% each, first in Quiz, (that's three of the 5 ship events that were offered back then), won the spirit award (Joe Bjorkman) along with 7 first place trophies and lots of seconds and thirds. 2003 goes down in the Tiki record books for sure.."
