 Happy Birthday to the US
Coast Guard Auxiliary
69 Years Young - 23 June 2008
Welcome to the 10-13 Web Site
Flotilla 10-13 was established on May 28, 1969 and for the past 39+ years has been providing local communities
in New York and Northern New Jersey with boating safety classes, on water towing, regatta ,safety and race support, search
and rescue, and recovery missions (275 patrols a year), free vessel safety checks (over 700 a year), and free booklet and information
pamphlets for local marinas. During that same time flotilla members have also logged countless hours in many other operational
and administrative support missions in support of the local Coast Guard Units at Activities New York, Station New York, and Group
Sandy Hook. In total we have logged over 115,000 hours
just since 2001, in missions supporting the boating public, the United
States Coast Guard, and the Department of Homeland
Security.Flotilla 10-13 is one of the most active flotillas in the nation. We
have been awarded the Flotilla Meritorious Achievement Award given by the United States Coast Guard to the best flotilla in
the First District Southern Region for 23 of the past 39
years. We have also been honored by Boat/U.S. as
the best flotilla in the Nation for
2002
and again in 2004. There are 1200 Coast
Guard Auxiliary flotillas across the nation. No flotilla has ever won this award twice, let alone twice in a 3 years
time span. In 2007 our flotilla expended over
22,000 volunteer hours in support of the Coast Guard,
the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the Boating Public and the
Department of Homeland Security.
