The Naylor Noggin
Brain Naylor made his mark on the DCA soon after the Association was formed by sailing Emma, his 16ft 10ins 'dinghy with a lid', all the way from Bradwell-on-Sea in Essex to the Folly Inn on the River Medina above Cowes on the Isle of Wight, to attend the first-ever DCA rally. His love of adventurous cruising in dinghies led him to suggest that a modest trophy might be awarded annually for the best log of a cruise published in the Bulletin (now Dinghy Cruising). Brian's guidance for awarding his trophy is as follows:

The Naylor Noggin Folder: A Celebration of the Years of Dinghy Cruising Accounts
After Paul Constantine won the Noggin in 2003 he decided to put together a folder celebrating the winning cruise accounts. It contains a comprehensive introduction to the Award, Brian Naylor's full cruise accounts, and thumbnail sketches of all the other winning cruise accounts up to 2012. Paul's outlines enable you to appreciate the diversity of cruises that DCA members have undertaken and in many cases make you want to read the original winning accounts. This you can do if you have past copies of the Journals or the CD which contains back copies of the Journal from their inception to 2017. You can also borrow back copies of the Journal from the DCA LIbrary and download copies from 2010 onwards in the Members' Section.
