From the CommodoreFrom the CommodoreRaymond Lynch Commodore / [email protected]

ust like all theCommodores that haveserved before me, Ihave all been asked pre-dominant questionsmany times over. Afterthe introductory, “Sohow is it beingCommodore?” there arethe usual, “How manyhours a week do youspend at the job?” and

“Are you having any fun?” This generally leads to theheart of the issues, such as “Why did we take broccoli offthe menu?” or “Is it my imagination or are we savingmoney by keeping the beer warmer?” All of these ques-tions lead to the heart of this month’s column, which is“Perception is not always reality.”

In a meeting last September, a group of Club Boardmembers were gathered on the back deck when oneoffered up that he felt The SFYC was the “best in thewest.” After envisioning how much ridicule that broad astatement would open us up to, we agreed that in 2010 wewould aim to be the best Board for our members. So far Ithink the Club Board and committees have really lived upto that dedication.

In December and January, GM Dennis Conneallycompiled a comprehensive study of The SFYC that includ-ed everything from food and drink prices, berth fees, drystorage fees, how big a staff we have, employee pay, andliterally every useful bit of data available. The study evenincluded how much is charged for Mothers’ Day Brunch.He compared The SFYC with many yacht clubs, restau-rants, swim clubs, and any other places our members maygo. The report was shared with 450 clubs across theUnited States and became a highlight of the ClubManagers’ Convention. In addition, a suggestion box at theconvention asked participants to name one thing their clubdoes for its employees that distinguishes it from otherclubs. The SFYC Employee Scholarship Fund won “Bestin Show”. We should all be very proud because it high-lights who we are as members.

This is where the “Perception is not always reality”idea and the numerous questions I get come back intoplay. Our Club provides the absolute best value for itsmembers. The SFYC Board and committees are continu-

ously striving to be even better. Paul Rosenlund and hisHouse Committee have introduced new menu items andwine selections that have resulted in cost reductions of twodollars in our average dinner entrees. Check out the new“Club Members Who Own Wineries” wine list. It containsmany fantastic wines offered at tremendous values. Out inthe harbor, Ed Lynch and his Harbor Committee arerebuilding the float at the north hoist. I can’t wait until thenew Race Shack, led by Mark Pearce, gets certified withCF numbers. Harbor also stood up, said it stubbed its toe,and rolled back the dry storage price increases. The Boardis analyzing data from last year’s strategic planning ses-sions to determine how to proceed with the plans to remod-el the kitchen and Cove House. It is also looking at theentire Club for best valued improvements. In short, we arein great shape by any measure. We should all be proud.

Out on the water, things are shaping up for a great sea-son. We will be sending a team of eight to Newport Beachto compete in the Baldwin Cup Team Races the first weekof April. Although we haven’t finalized our entrant, we willbe competing in the Centennial Cup, a contest betweenclubs on the West Coast that are over 100 years old. OurYouth Sailors are already lined up for the Opti SouthAmerican and European Championships. And many greatyoung sailors will be traveling throughout the U.S. repre-senting The SFYC!

The starting line is not big enough for everyone; somany members will be opting for The Club Cruise outs, ledby Bill Stark and his merry band of partiers.

Whether you head out racing or cruising, look formore music and maybe a second keg upon your return. Forthose who can’t make it out on the water, we plan to have alot more fun on the Club’s deck this year. One of my petprojects is to have more parties for member enjoyment.We’ve already “traveled” down to the bayous and acrossthe pond to Ireland to party. The next stop will be closer tohome. “The Tax Man Cometh” on April 15th for another1040 party. After what I’m sure will be a great OpeningDay Dinner Dance (we’ve got another all star band linedup) and the Opening Day Barbecue, we’re heading south ofthe border for Cinco de Mayo. If you’ve heard about thefun and delicious food we’ve been enjoying, markWednesday, May 5th, as the date to come down to TheClub for some great mariachi music. And I’m organizing ahot sauce eating contest!

Join me on the water or at The Club, because it is thebest place to be.

We also had Victory out for her annual haul-out and WOW does she look great! GregArkus, David Carrel and Jerry Eaton did anexcellent job of organizing and overseeing thisrather extensive process. Victory has beenbuffed and polished and has new graphics,amongst a host of other practical things.

Finally, now, we’re on to racing…

The weekend of February 20-21marked the end of the CorinthianYacht Club’s mid-winter regattaseries and the San Francisco YachtClub was well represented. To Win,Place or Show were Hank Easomon Yucca, John Sutak on WhiteJacket, Craig Page on Wuda Shuda,Ron Young on Youngster, Richardvon Ehrenkrook on Can O’Whoopass, Glenn Isaacson on Qand Bartz Schneider onExpeditious. We also won the Aoteachallenge with the team of Can O’YucQa. Need I say more?

Racers, please, if you are racingout of the area or in non-SFYCregattas, let us know your results byemailing to [email protected] want to make sure to recognizeyour successes in any far-off orclose-by places.

We also hosted the first ClubSeries race, the Rosenblum Regatta,on March 20. Thanks go out toPRO Steve Mason for, as always,getting us off to a great start. TheApril Bulletin deadline was beforethe race so winners will beannounced in print later or you cancheck the website to see who fin-ished in the money. Please seebelow for more on the Club SeriesChampionship.

On April 10-11, we’ll be host-ing the Resin Regatta. Participatingfleets include Moore 24, Melges 24,Etchells, Express 27 and AlerionExpress 28. These five fleets areexpected to fill our harbor and makefor some exciting racing. If youown one, please sign up, come onout and participate! The second raceday of the Club Championshipseries will be the Anniversary Cupon April 24. If you missed the first,make sure to come out for thisone…we have the option of tworaces that day so much fun will behad by all.

March was quite the busy monthfor your Race Council. Wehad our usual volunteer organ-

izing meetings and thanks to all of youwho turned out for the events. ErichRingewald emceed our PRO meetingand ten of our usual suspects for PROsattended. Top of the list of accomplish-ments were two items: A commitment tomentor up-and-coming PROs so we canexpand our expertise and a commitmentto get at least one brand new volunteerout on the water each race day. Runningworld-class regattas is a primary focus in2010 and we know that volunteerism andexperience are what will set us apart.We are committed to developing a men-torship program not only for PROs butalso for all who want to increase theirskill levels.

A record 29 individuals attended ourgeneral race management volunteermeeting in March. A good number ofprior years’ volunteers as well as somenew faces were in attendance. Many ofthe Race Council members participatedin explaining what it is we actually doout on the boats on race days. Ourthanks go out to Erich Ringewald,Suzie Moore, Alison Russell, JeffZarwell and Jerry Eaton.

David Carrel, Matt Cromar, JerryEaton and Greg Arkus hosted the boattraining seminar. A few hours of class-room time was followed by lunch andthen time out on the water training driv-ing boats, anchoring, setting marks andgiving everyone practical experience.

Larry Drew also gathered thoseprotest committee members, judges andarbitrators who sort it all out at the endof the day. This group of folks waitpatiently at the end of each race day for acall from the PRO to report ‘red flag’sightings. Their expertise interpretingthe rules and sorting out the details ofwhat actually happened out on the water,without first-hand information, is to beadmired, and is certainly appreciated.

April Racing NewsBy Angie Lackey Olson


while the faster boats’ sailors are alreadyin the bar. By the same token, conditionscan sometimes favour the slower boats.This is called Yacht Racing! However the“swings and roundabouts” theory cannotnecessarily be relied upon to iron thingsout over time and there may be somethingto be said for moving to “time-on-time,”which appears to be becoming the morepopular methodology in the Bay area.

For 2010, positions will continue tobe based on PHRF time-on-distance.However the Race Committee has gener-ously offered to also calculate shadowpositions (but offer no prizes!) based ontime-on-time to see whether any patternemerges over the series. This will bereviewed again for 2011.

There are two significant changes tothe series this year. One concerns thescoring system for boats not awarded fin-ish positions (DNF). To mollify boatsthat struggle around the course only tofind that the wind shuts down when thefinish line beckons, they will be awardedone point more than the number of finish-ers rather than the number of starters.That will please the faster boats! Thesecond change is noticeable by itsabsence of mention in the Notice of Race.The six second per mile addition to thePHRF rating for non-spinnaker boats hasbeen eliminated.

You are welcome, Jim Robinson.We look forward to an exciting and

closely fought 2010 Club Series.

The ink was hardly dry on his Clubmembership form when newmember Ian Ratnage was “vol-

unteered” Chairman of the Club Seriesfor 2010 with little idea of what layahead! By the time this hits the press, theClub Championship Series will have got-ten underway and talk in the bar willalready have turned to the much dis-cussed question of the application of thePHRF system. Should this continue to becalculated “time-on-distance” or should itbe changed to “time-on-time?”

Generally time-on-distance providesa fair result where wind and tide affectthe fleet equally. However, sometimesthe slower boats are adversely affected bya fading wind and/or unfavourable tide,

Proper Care and Feeding of Your Support Boats

By Matt Cromar

It’s that time of year again. The boat covers come off, themotors get tuned, and the trash gets taken out. Our twosupport boats, Martin and Golden Retriever, are ready for

action. Each year, these boats, along with our faithful volunteerdrivers and support crew, play an integral role in our world classracing program.

This season there are some exciting changes and neededrepairs that have been made to the boats.

Golden Retriever gets a new leaning post. As many of youmay know from driving and crewing on these boats, you spend alot of time on your feet. Our new leaning post is identical to theone on Martin. It has a comfortable, padded seat with stowagebeneath and a padded leaning post at just the right height toallow for more comfortable and safer operation of the boats.I’m confident this will be a welcome change to the layout ofGolden Retriever.

Boat launching back by popular demand. Last year wechanged procedures a bit by getting our superb harbor staff tolaunch and put away our support boats. Not only does this saveour volunteers a tremendous amount of time and effort, but itensures that the boats are consistently and carefully maintained.You can expect that on race day your boat will be launched andat the race dock, gassed up, marks inflated, and ready to go.

New Floating Dock. This is a very exciting change to ourrace program and it is being designed and constructed by Mark

Pearce. There will be a new floating dock at the base of thezero series/race dock. It will include storage for all the racegear including anchors, lines, and marks. This means no morehauling gear up the gangway at the beginning and end of theday. Sorry, my request for a diving board on the roof wasturned down.

A few friendly reminders for those of you who have eitherdriven or crewed on the support boats, in order to help keepthem up and running all season long:• Cleanup- please treat the boats with respect by removing all

your trash and gear each day. Also do a thorough wash downof the entire boat including any ground tackle that you maybe leaving onboard for a two-plus day regatta.

• Storage- at the end of a regatta, please wash down and put allthe ground tackle-lines, anchors, mark weights, etc.back inthe new race dock locker.

• Notes- please indicate any problems/issues with the boats inthe log book stored on each boat. If something needs obviousurgent attention, call and/or email Matt Cromar immediately.His contact information will be clearly posted on the boat.

We completed our annual support boat training seminar onMarch 13. For those of you that missed the driver certification,you can still participate on race days by serving as crew and asapprentice drivers with a qualified driver. This is really the bestway to learn how regattas are run and how to handle the boats.We urge you to fill out the volunteer request forms to indicatedates when you may be available during the upcoming months.You can always contact the PRO regarding an event or our vol-unteer coordinator, CONTACT Tina Lundh, [email protected].

Interview with Kate GaumondInterview with Kate GaumondKathleen M. Buckstaff

As a co-captainof the Bransonhigh school sail-ing team, KateGaumond, age16, uses determi-nation andenthusiasm tokeep sailingalive at her school. Kate sails competitivelyas a skipper or a crew. As a freshman, shewas awarded SFYC’s Top Rookie Crewaward. As a sophomore, she won the TopRookie Skipper award.

In an interview, Kate answered a fewquestions.

Q:What do you do to keep Branson’ssailing team going?

A: I do a lot of organizing and motivating toget people to go to practice. My schoolis such a small school. We really onlyhave five members on our sailing teamand we need six so I’m always recruit-ing. Everyone has other commitmentsand I try to get everyone to make sailingtheir number one priority. I enjoy highschool sailing and I wouldn’t want it tofall apart.

Q:You beat the drum a lot?

A: It’s necessary. There’s great competition– the California sailors usually winNationals and so I want to do as muchsailing here as I can. I sail FJs and 420s.

Q:Where did you learn to sail?

A: I learned to sail in the East Coast onFishers Island. I started in Optis. Wewere part of a club and it was just some-thing to do in the summer. I found outreally quickly that I don’t like sports thattake place on land. I found sailing to bea lot of fun and I was good at it.

Q:What do you like about sailing?

A: I like the racing aspect of the sport andhow it’s tactically challenging. You haveto be smart. I also enjoy going fast, set-ting a kite and being on a trap. I enjoysailing at City Front when it’s really

of college teams at TI and that’sreally great. Last year both Branson andRedwood went to the team racequalifiers which we had never donebefore. We practice on the waterand off the water we go throughvideos Andrew’s taken and analyzewhat happened. It’s good to beable to see your mistakes and seethe race course from a differentvantage point.

Q:Describe team racing.

A: It’s like fleet racing on steroids.You need to be extra aware ofwhat’s happening around you. Youhave to watch everything that’sgoing on and how it effects youand your team mates. I like howit’s so extreme and things changeso quickly.

Q:What are you thankful for?

A: I’m thankful for my parents forbeing so supportive. I’m gratefulthey’ve been willing to learn somuch about youth sailing. And I’mthankful for all of my coaches.

Q:What advice would you give ayoung sailor?

A: Even if you’re super frustratedwith Optis, continue sailing. Iwasn’t super good at Optis. Ienjoyed my friends but I wasalways disappointed with myresults. Eventually, I got it and itall clicked and I’ve found sailing tobe much more rewarding as I gotolder. In fact, I wasn’t really goodat Optis at all. I was frustratedwith being alone. I learn a lotmore sailing with other people andI enjoy myself more sailing withother people. My advice? Stick with it. I wasnever the Opti champion. All myfriends were the Opti champions. Inever got to that level in Opti, butI’m very fulfilled by sailing now.

windy. I prefer sailing here to the EastCoast because there is so much morewind here.

Q:What’s your least favorite sailingcondition?

A: No wind and the race committee makesyou keep sailing.

Q:What’s your favorite gear?

A: My light blue North Face fleece top --it repels wind and water. I alwayswear it, no matter what.

Q:What’s something you’ve learnedfrom a coach that’s been inspiring orhelpful?

A: Isabelle Kinsolving, who went to theOlympics in 470s, made me take rac-ing more seriously instead of it beingsomething I just did for fun in the sum-mer. Because of her, I turned sailinginto something I do competitively andwant to do in college.Molly Carapiet is also one of mycoaches. She coached Reid Bergsundand me this past weekend in 420sdown in Long Beach. I was crewingwith Reid and with Molly’s help wewere concentrating on developing agame plan for sailing upwind. Wemade sure that during the start that wewere placing ourselves in the rightplace to be able to execute our gameplan.

Q:What do you like about sailing withReid?

A: We’re friends outside of sailing so Ienjoy sailing with him and we have anequal amount of commitment. That’sgood because you never want to be theone pulling all the weight.

Q:What’s one of your favorite aspectsof high school sailing?

A: Team racing! Our high school coachAndrew Waters has revamped the pro-gram. We never really team-raced atall before he was our coach. Thisweekend we’re racing against a bunch


HarborHarborEd Lynch, Harbor Chair / [email protected]

Life is amazing! I am 47 years old and finally realizedwhat happened to my childhood bed sheets (SeeFebruary Bulletin Commodore’s article).

In all seriousness, we are heading into the spring and sum-mer boating season with Opening Day just around the corner. Itis a good time to conduct a safety inspection of your boat andmake sure you are ready for an emergency, should the needarise. As a firefighter, I am always concerned about fires, par-ticularly on a boat where the smaller confined spaces can provedeadly. I recently responded on Tiburon’s fireboat to a 48’ yachtfire in Sausalito. It was a very fast moving fire that destroyedthe boat in a coupleof minutes. Fuel,electrical systems andcorrosion are a badcombination at best.Making sure youhave an onboard sup-pression system and agood fully-chargedfire extinguisher are amust for any boat.Having a wellequipped emergencymedical first aid kit isalso essential for allboats. For thoseSFYC members inter-ested, the TiburonFire District hostsFirst Aid and CPRclasses regularly andwill conduct a classfor a group of mem-bers who would liketo put one together. Please contact me if you are interested.

Safety in the harbor is also a high priority for the HarborCommittee as well as the harbor staff and we have assignedHarbor Committee members to each area of the marina to con-tinually assess the docks and grounds for safety problems andor needed repairs. Staff Commodore Jim Robinson has beenassigned the 0 docks, Charles Froeb 100 docks, Steve Stroub200 docks, Hank Easom 300 docks and Bill Melbostad willwatch over the Dry Dock area. We count on all of our membersto bring safety matters to our attention so they can be remedied.You may also advise any member of the Harbor Staff of a prob-lem at any time. Enough of that stuff. Let’s get to the reallyexciting news.

I recently attended a meeting with some Corinthian Islandresidents and select members from the Corinthian Yacht Clubwho are exploring the possibility of building a new sea wallspanning the area between the CYC and SFYC with the goal ofproviding relief from the strong winter storms that continually

pound the Belvedere Cove during winter storms causing thou-sands of dollars in damage every year and silting in the chan-nel and access to the homes and docks along Corinthian Islandand SFYC. Because much of this area is owned by the SFYC,the Harbor Committee feels that this may provide a greatopportunity for us to expand our harbor in exchange for granti-ng permission to install the sea wall. Although the project isstill in its infancy, a polling of the SFYC Board ofCommissioners and SFYC members who have experience withmarine engineering has yielded a lot of support for the idea.The group is proceeding under the new name of the Corinthian

Island Yacht Club(CIYC) and ismoving forwardwith preliminaryengineering plansthat will be thebasis for meetingwith the regulatoryagencies in earlyspring of 2010. TheCIYC is also inves-tigating the avail-ability of possiblefunding sourcesincluding FederalStimulus Funds andor EPA grants forthe protection ofeel grass and longfin smelt, both ofwhich survivemuch better inwaters withreduced turbidity.

There will be more information about this exciting possibilitywhen it is made available. For now we have given them thegreen light to move forward.

The Harbor Committee is currently working through plansto revitalize the harbor over the next several years and will beinstalling some prototype docks that will be evaluated for func-tionality, costs and appearance. We will look forward to themembership for input and opinions on the various optionsbeing considered. Current projects, which will be completedover the next month, will include a new North Hoist Dock andnew floating Race Float that will allow all of our race equip-ment to be stored on the water, improving the efficiency of theRace Committee and eliminating the hassle of dragging all ofthe equipment through The Club after a race. We will also beinstalling color-coded markers on the pilings indicating escapeladders, life rings and fire extinguishers on the docks.

Don’t forget it’s tax time – and that is no April Fools’ joke.Be safe out there!

Spring has sprung! And not soonenough! The Auxiliary is all a fluttergetting ready for the first big event, the

Children’s Easter Party that will take place onSunday, April 4th. Kari Cusack and MelissaTulp have been busy little butterflies makingsure the Easter Bunny will have a happy groupof children following him around on Easter

Sunday. We truly hope that you and yours will be able to “hop-to-it” and join us for what is shaping up to be a beautiful anddelectable celebration! Chef Reny and his amazing team arepulling out all the stops. I can hardly wait to dive into the choco-late fountain myself. Okay, and maybe the candy eggs too!

You may have heard it said before that “it takes a village” tothrow a good party.

her new home inSydney Harbor,Vancouver Island.Josephine willshake down inPuget Sound andthen wander theSan Juan Islands,prior to arrivingin Sidney for thesummer. His new

location positions him to take advantage ofthe wonderful cruising waters of the GulfIslands and the many other scenic anchor-ages in the northern waters of the Straitsof Georgia. Al said that he hoped to ren-dezvous with other SFYC members duringthe spring and summer.

Gay and Wyman Harris have plansto take Safari from her anchorage at VanIsle, near Sydney, on a return trip toAlaska to explore new anchorages duringan extended summer excursion. OtherSFYC members in this beautiful areainclude Niel and Nancy Davidson, whoalso happen to keep Three Wishes in

Cruising on the west coast will lower hiscarbon footprint by reducing his cross-country flights.

Bob Van Blaricom will again beventuring from San Francisco Bay. Hewill be going up the coast to theColumbia River as crew with Zia Aharion Athesa, a Hallberg-Rassy 31. Theyplan on venturing up the Columbia as faras the Hood River. You just can’t keepthat man at home!

Letter From AfarLetter From Afar

Recently I traveled toMiami, Florida to com-pete in two regattas. First

I sailed in the 470 Women’sClass in the Rolex MiamiOlympic Class Regatta. Withtwenty-five boats, includingtwelve international teams andtwo world champions in thiscompetition, we had the strongestfleet ever in the history of theMiami OCR. Although I have alot of 470 experience, JenMorgan Glass and I were a newteam. In spite of the fact that Jenand I had only sailed together fortwo days prior to the regatta, weshowed consistent improvementover the course of the event.After racing was abandoned thefirst day due to an ominous fore-cast, we were faced with light airof 5-10 knots for the rest of thecompetition. This is a difficultcondition in the 470 with a lot of

marginal trapping. Jen and I finished the event in 15thplace and the 3rd American Team.

After the Olympic Class Regatta, we packed up the470 and started rigging the 29erXXs for the Seiko SuperBowl Regatta. A 29erXX is a 29er hull with a bigger rigthat includes a masthead spinnaker and a double trapezeso both the skipper and the crew are trapping. This wasmy first time driving from the wire and definitely a newchallenge. After flying into the shroud on the first day, Islowly got the hang of it. Luckily, I was sailing with LizRountree, who has spent the last two years in Australiasailing skiffs. Liz and I had a great time and learned alot about this new class of boats, which is significantlymore difficult and complex than the 29er.

After completing the 29erXX Super Bowl regatta, Iflew home,picked up The

San Francisco Yacht Club van and drove to LongBeach to coach Reid Bergsund and KateGaumond at the Perry Series. Reid and Katemade huge strides in their starting and first beattactics over the course of the event. The high-lights of my weekend spent in the coach boatwere watching Reid and Kate round the wind-ward mark in first place during the last race andexperiencing a school of dolphins jumping allaround us for fifteen minutes.

From the General ManagerFrom the General ManagerDennis Conneally CCM, CCE / [email protected]

Last month, representatives of TheSan Francisco Yacht Club, includ-ing Commodore Ray Lynch,

Staff Commodore John Swain, andmyself attended a hearing of theBelvedere Planning Commission. TheClub was requesting a long-term contin-uation of the Conditional Use Permit(CUP) which had been granted to The

SFYC six months ago. This CUP governs the use of temporarytents and canopies on our property.

For years, The Club has been using temporary tents andcanopies for various private parties, club functions, and commu-nity events without any restrictions from the City of Belvedere.Often times these events have contributed significantly to thelocal community, benefitting charity functions and local fundrais-ers, as well as national and international regattas that broughtprestige and prominence to our community.

During this process, the city’s staff raised concerns overexternal issues including noise, hours of operation and parking;issues that have always been dealt with successfully by The Clubin the past. As S/C Swain clearly pointed out to the commission-ers, we have always tried to be pro-active in our approach tothese issues and strive to be a neighbor to all the local businessesand residents in Belvedere and Tiburon. In the end, the commis-sioners voted unanimously to grant us an extension of our CUPpermit for a period of five-years; after which we will need to re-apply for another extension.

With the regatta season already here and the warm summermonths fast approaching, we will be taking extra efforts to moni-tor the external noise levels of our outside events. One pro-active measure that the House Committee feels is appropriatewill be to close-off the cocktail portion of our outer deck by10:00 p.m. every night. This will include weekend nights as wellas regatta nights. As most of us know, even low levels of noisecarry across the water in the cove later in the evenings; so mem-bers will be asked to move indoors after 10:00 p.m. We lookforward to continuing our great relationship with the City ofBelvedere and with our local neighbors, without having unneces-sary and burdensome constraints placed on The Club and on theenjoyment of our members.

The Harbor Committee is moving forward with plans toupgrade The Club’s anchorage in many ways. The first step inthis process is to develop a master plan of projects and marinaupgrades that will carry us through the next several years. Onthe immediate horizon, a complete new, floating-dock section isbeing designed and built to replace the aging dock under thenorth hoist. This area is heavily used by the racers as well as allmembers who keep boats on our drystorage deck. This will bea vast improvement over our current dock and will be a welcomeaddition to the harbor by Opening Day on the Bay. A secondproject in the works is to design and to build a moveable RaceCommittee float which will be used to house most of the on-the-

water race committee equipment. This moveable float will belocated at the head of the Race Committee dock and will allowfor easy access to the equipment on regatta days. Both of theseprojects will be very beneficial, not only to the racing membersof The Club, but to all members. And it will provide muchsafer and stable decking for walking.

The House Committee and the Board of Directors continueto look at long-range plans to upgrade the kitchen facilities, toprovide members with alternative function space (so as not toclose the dining room every time there is a banquet, regatta, orsocial function at The Club) and to address the overall officeand storage space needs. These and other long-term clubupgrades will be discussed at length with the membership asmore information becomes available.

The SFYC Juniors have announced several new programsfor this year’s summer season and are now open for sign-ups inthe various summer classes. This year the program is openingfor one additional week, bringing the total “on-the-water”instruction to ten weeks. The program will begin June 14 andwill run through August 20 offering programs in Opti’s, J-Y’s,FJ’s, J-24’s and 420’s. If you have kids, grandkids, or know ofneighbor kids between the ages of seven and seventeen, whohave an interest in sailing, please point them in the direction ofour Junior Sailing Program. For more information about theseprograms, contact us first at our youth website,www.sfyc.org\youth, or by phone at (415) 435-9525.

Mark your calendars for the weekend of April 24 and 25which marks the 2010 Opening Day on the Bay. Mrs.Commadorable, Kim Lynch, and the Entertainment Committeehave planned a superb Opening Day Dinner Dance and a fan-tastic Opening Day barbeque.

I look forward to seeing you around the club!
