3 Committees Committees are the lifeblood of SSYC. The Club was founded upon the solid dedication of volunteers who served on committees. Volunteer service to the Club in the form of committee membership is one of the most important commitments to SSYC a member can offer. SSYC continues to flourish and grow due to the dedicated volunteers who serve on the committees. The Club’s By-Laws describe Committees and their functions very specifically (ARTICLE VII, Sections 1 through 22). Following are some general specifics about the committees. There are 16 Standing Committees categorized as follows: Administrative Committees (6) - Audit, By-Laws, Finance, Insurance, Membership, and Nominating Committees; Operating Committees (4) - Grounds, House, Slip, and Waterfront Services Committees; and Activity Committees (6) - Entertainment, Junior Advisory, Powerboat, Public Relations/Publications, Sail, and Special Events Committees. There is also a non-By-Laws committee, the IT Committee, formed by directive of the Commodore in 2014. With the exception of the Nominating Committee, the Commodore appoints all By-Laws committee chairpersons who must be Active or Life members. Each committee is to have at least three members, although some have vacancies. There is no maximum number of members. Membership on an Administrative committee is limited to Active and Life members. Membership on an Operating Committee is limited to Active, Life and Associate members. Activity Committees have no membership restrictions. The Commodore from time to time may appoint special committees as may be necessary, such as the Marketing and Strategic Planning Committees listed below. Members are encouraged to volunteer for service on any of the standing Committees. Contact the Club General

The Al and Erv Nickel Memorial Award The Nickel brothers, who joined South Shore Yacht Club shortly after World War I, gave long and dedicated service. Al was secretary, treasurer and Compass editor for over 30 years. Erv performed a variety of tasks during the period. Both provided steadying influence during the perilous period of the Great Depression. Their leadership touched the lives of many at South Shore. The idea of an award to honor them, endorsed by many, was formalized in the spring of 1971 when a special committee of chair Carl L. Mueller Jr. and members Norman Hundt, Harry

15 Ziemann and Del Kemnitz settled on a memorial plaque. Donations financed the award. Life member Ross Lewis designed the plaque and keeper awards. Past Commodore George Walker did much of the metal work and engraving. The finished trophy was presented to the Club at the 1972 Commodore’s Ball. It is to be awarded each year to a member in good standing for contributions to South Shore Yacht Club representative of the high standards set by Al and Erv Nickel. Selection of the recipient is made in the summer of each year by a committee including the Commodore, the Vice Commodore as an observer, the Chairs of the Sail/Race, Powerboat and House Committees, and a Life member chosen by the Commodore. The basis of consideration includes at least five years continuous membership, years of service on standing committees, character and sportsmanship of the recipient, participation in sailing, power boating or general Club activities and at least one year of outstanding service. Candidates must be active on a standing committee or in a Club post in the year for which the award is presented. The plaque remains at South Shore Yacht Club. Recipients are given keeper awards.

18 The Queen’s Cup

The Queen’s Cup is one of the oldest cups in world- yachting that is still offered for competition every year. The history of the cup dates back to an age when both British Victorian silverwork and English sailing yachts were without rival anywhere in the world. American shipyards of this era were turning out very fast sailing vessels called clipper ships. These craft were extreme designs built to outperform the fast new breed of ships powered by steam. The American racing sloop SILVIE was built during this era using this radical new technology. On August 19, 1853, SILVIE won second place in a regatta scheduled by the Royal Yacht Squadron that was raced off Cowes, England. First prize, a cup valued at 100 guineas, was won by the English yacht JULIA, followed within 6 minutes and 38 seconds by SILVIE. This outstanding performance by SILVIE caused the Squadron to award a special prize to her, a 50-guinea cup, now known as the Queen’s Cup. Actually, it is not really a Queen’s Cup, because only English yachts are allowed to win a cup offered by the Queen. Races in which foreign yachts competed were sailed either before or after those races in which only English yachts competed. The cup was brought back to the New York Yacht Club, SILVIE’s home port, and went into obscurity until 1874, when Mr. J.H. Godwin, of Kingsbridge, NY gave the cup to

19 his friend Kirkland C. Barker, Commodore of the International Yacht Club of Detroit. The cup was to be offered as an international challenge, to be known as the Godwin Cup. There was only one challenger, ANNIE CUTHBERT of Hamilton, Ontario. Barker’s CORA won the first race, with the Canadians winning the second but forfeiting the final race. This gave the cup to Barker but left very strained relations between the Detroit and Hamilton yachtsmen. The cup was never offered for competition again, probably due to the untimely death of Commodore Barker. He and two other crew members drowned while shifting ballast in CORA in preparation for the 1875 racing season. Nothing more is known about the cup until about the turn of the 20th Century, when a young lad, while cleaning out a family storeroom, discovered an exquisite rosewood box holding the cup. The lad was Walter Hull, whose father was Charles Hull, son-in-law of Commodore Barker, to whom the cup had been given. Walter Hull treasured the cup for the rest of his life and kept it in his possession until September 1, 1938, when his good friend William Lawrie (later Commodore of SSYC in 1944) persuaded him to deed it to South Shore Yacht Club, “for an annual race across Lake Michigan, always starting off South Shore Yacht Club, and ending at a point in Michigan, open to all yachts of a recognized yacht club on the Great Lakes.” In early years, the cup was awarded in the Universal Fleet, which dominated racing on Lake Michigan. The first race was sailed to Spring Lake, Michigan, and won by the R-boat CALYPSO, owned by Dr. Hollis Potter of the Chicago Yacht Club. In later years, the Universal boats became less popular and the number of cruising-type boats increased. The Race Committee decided to award the cup alternately to the different cruising fleets. The age of the cup is authenticated by the traditional

20 markings found on the cup, five in number: silversmith’s trademark, standard mark, town mark, date mark and duty mark. These marks reveal that the cup was crafted by the silversmith firm of Robert Garrard, located at 29 Panton Street, St. Martins, England, in 1847-1848. The lions head standard mark denotes the minimum sterling silver content is 92.5%; only the Britannia standard mark is of higher minimum silver content. We are very proud of the Queen’s Cup, and pleased to continue the fine yachtsman spirit started by Walter C. Hull nearly eighty years ago. Past Queen’s Cup Winners 1938 Calypso – Hollis C.

23 A Brief History of SSYC The adventuresome men and women who built South Shore Yacht Club came mainly from the trades and the hard world of rolling mills, forges, factories and waterfronts. Almost all lived in Bay View, the urban neighborhood to which we have remained deeply connected ever since. They possessed hands-on skills and boundless volunteer spirit. This can-do character continues to mold SSYC today, more than a century later. The Club was founded in 1913. The City had built a small protected anchorage between Iron and Nock Streets, and a group of local residents seized the opportunity to form SSYC. After two years meeting in a rented house, the Club towed a derelict Great Lakes lumber schooner – the LILLY E – from Sturgeon Bay, pulled it ashore at the current site, added electricity and a hurricane deck for dancing, and had a clubhouse. Membership was men-only in those chauvinist days, but in 1915 the women formed the SSYC Ladies’ Auxiliary and raised substantial funds dedicated to furnishing “the ship.” Not all members supported the LILLY E project, unfortunately, and an unhappy faction split off to form the separate Steel Mills Yacht Club. But five years later, in 1921, the two groups reunited as the reconstituted South Shore Yacht Club, now with two white stars in the burgee to denote the two groups joining as one. Meanwhile, sadly, LILLY E, fell into disrepair, and wallets and resources strained by the demands of World War I could not keep up. In the fall of 1921, a series of northeast gales drove her further ashore, opened seams and meant the end of LILLY E. On a still, cloudy day in midsummer 1922, a dozen members doused the wrecked ship with oil and watched her burn down to embers. Her bones became part of new parkland, buried beneath what is now the club parking lot. Our front gate stands immediately above the final resting spot of her bow.

24 For a while, SSYC used the old Steel Mills Yacht Club clubhouse, a welded steel barge moored at the foot of Nock Street. In the Depression, some members were unable to pay even the $5 annual dues. But in 1938, the first true clubhouse was built on reclaimed land where today’s clubhouse stands. In 1963, the first bank of slips went in. In 1988, after 75 years, the chauvinist era ended as women were admitted as full members. In 2006, the clubhouse saw major expansion and renovation, while the Club settled a longstanding dispute over “who owns the lakebed” by conceding ownership of the building to Milwaukee County and signing a long-term lease that was renewed effective 2017 to secure the Club’s place on the waterfront for years to come.

27 Racing Under Sail South Shore Yacht Club sponsors and encourages sailboat racing. One, because it represents the highest order of sportsmanship, and two, because it embodies the fellowship and teaches the seamanlike skills which are stated in our Articles. Weekend racing for cruising yachts is conducted under the rules of the Performance Handicap Racing Fleet (PHRF) in two fleets, the Milwaukee Bay Offshore Series and the newer Saturday Afternoon Sailing Series. The Double Handed Fleet presents an opportunity for social sailing on Friday afternoons. The Lightning Class competes in a one-design fleet on Tuesday evenings throughout the summer. The South Shore Social Sailing Series (SS/SSS) is a Wednesday night tradition at SSYC. This series is sailed over a short course under simplified handicap rules. It provides fun and is great experience for beginners, but seasoned skippers and crews sail as well. Dinner and socializing follow the races. As many as 70 boats sometimes compete. The MBWSO (Milwaukee Bay Women's Sailing Organization) runs six Monday-night handicap events over the course of the summer. MBWSO promotes women in sailing, helps participants build their skills and confidence, and creates a spirit of good fellowship. The Fleet Captain is SSYC’s Fran Aring, [email protected], (414) 481-2600. For information concerning fleet handicaps or activities, contact the fleet captains listed under Sail – Race Committee. For information on the race schedule or race program see the Club calendar, which can be found on the Club’s website at www.SSYC.org, or contact the Sail Race chairman. Powerboating In keeping with its stated goals of fellowship and the furthering of nautical skills and knowledge, South Shore

28 Yacht Club sponsors a variety of social and competitive events for powerboats. An overnight cruise, a series of Lake Michigan Yachting Association open houses, picnics, and other social events are all offered by the Power Boat Committee. See the club calendar, which can be found on the club’s website at www.SSYC.org, or contact the Power Boat chairman. Junior Program The Junior Program at South Shore Yacht Club is open to boys and girls aged 8 through 18. Participants need not be the children of members. Juniors are subsidized by The SSYC Juniors Sailing Foundation, Inc. and conduct activities to raise funds to support their program. See fee list for dues and fees. Juniors may use SSYC within guidelines established by the Board of Directors. Hours are as follows: May 1 - September 15 (Monday - Friday): 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday & Sunday & all other times: only during previously announced Junior Activities. Juniors are not allowed to stay overnight on boats without an adult (parent) present. This rule does not limit the privileges of young people who are with their parents or other adult members. Parents are responsible for the conduct of their children. Safe boating is emphasized. An eight-week summer sailing program begins after schools close. Instructors teach basic, advanced and racing techniques using Optimists, Lasers and 420s owned by the Juniors Foundation. Junior members who are certified by the sailing instructors are eligible to use the Club-owned boats when they are not being used for lessons.

29 All junior members are eligible to use the Junior Clubhouse. For information contact the Club Office. South Shore Yacht Club Auxiliary The Auxiliary, an integral part of SSYC, makes yearly donations for Club improvements, as well as donating to selected charitable organizations within the community. The major fund-raising activity is the sale of merchandise promoting the annual Queen’s Cup race. The camaraderie shared by Auxiliary members of all ages is truly special. There’s an open invitation for new members to join this dynamic and important group that benefits both SSYC and the surrounding community.

Such a letter must be postmarked prior to January 1 to avoid obligation for the following year’s dues and fees. Members who resign in good standing receive special consideration upon rejoining per Article III, Sec. 14 of the

32 By-Laws. A member who resigned in good standing and wishes to rejoin within 10 years will be placed at the top of the waiting list and need pay only 1/2 the initiation fee, along with the normal amount of dues at that time.

Members may also use their ID cards to house-charge food, beverages and other items such as ice and fuel to their accounts. Membership cards and ID cards are not transferable. Loaning your card to another person or using another member’s card to house charge will subject you to disciplinary action. The clubhouse is a non-smoking facility. Smoking is prohibited in the clubhouse, including E-cigarettes. An outside heated and screened smoking area is available on the south side of the clubhouse. Please dispose of your smoking materials responsibly.

Children South Shore Yacht Club is a family orientated organization and encourages family participation in events and activities at the Club. Children must be accompanied by their parents at all times while on the club grounds docks and members boats. Parents are responsible for the conduct of their children. Under no

34 circumstances are children allowed at the bars in the clubhouse at any time. In all other areas of the clubhouse children must be accompanied by their parents. It is recommended that children under 12 years old wear Coast Guard approved life jackets while on docks or finger piers. Seniority The Club By-Laws provide that vacancies for dry sail, locker rental, slip rental, dinghy storage and winter storage on the grounds will be based on seniority. Seniority is determined from the Club records by the Financial Secretary. It is based on cumulative years of Active and Life Membership. However, Juniors who joined prior to October 1, 1970, shall have their seniority begin as of the date they joined the Club, since all members accumulated seniority in those early years. Every Active or Life member is senior to every Associate and Non-resident Member. A period of Non-resident membership neither adds nor reduces a member’s seniority. Payment In general, Club facilities are intended for the use of members, their families and their guests. The Internal Revenue Service requires that the member pay for all services; otherwise, our tax exempt status could be jeopardized. Conduct South Shore Yacht Club is an organization of ladies and gentlemen. Proper conduct is expected. Members are responsible for the behavior of their guests; visiting skippers are responsible for the behavior of their crews. Rule Violations The South Shore Yacht Club By-Laws empower the Commodore to suspend any member for rule violations or

35 unbecoming conduct. After a hearing, the Board of Directors may take such action as is deemed proper, up to and including expulsion. Visitors Visiting yachters must sign a guest register. They are welcome in all Clubhouse facilities. Upon request, temporary key cards may be issued to allow admission to heads and showers during hours when the Clubhouse is closed.

40 Speed Limit Milwaukee enforces a 5-mile per hour speed limit in the anchorage, including the fairway paralleling the breakwater. Be considerate; the skipper causing damage to docked boats or shore facilities is legally liable. Boating at the Club Moorings SSYC does not have legal jurisdiction over the anchorage. Information on moorings may be obtained by calling 414- 520-1631. Tender The tender will normally operate between 9 a.m. and dusk on week-ends and holidays and between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. other days from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Hours may change for special events or after Labor Day. Schedules and changes to the schedules will be posted on the dock house windows. A tender pass is required to use the tender. It may be purchased at the Club office. See fee list for current price. The tender is for the use of members only. Capacity is 14 persons; operators may not exceed it. During busy periods, you will be limited to taking only 2 people per moored boat in the tender. Bring your boat to a face dock to pick up or discharge larger parties. Pets may be carried on the tender if they are carried in a container designed for that purpose. Dinghies and Kayaks All dinghies and kayaks to be stored on Club grounds must be on one of the Club storage racks or other designated areas when not in use, during the boating season. Each dinghy and kayak must have a current sticker and

41 owner’s membership number prominently displayed. Dinghy and kayak stickers are available at the Club office. Two numbered stickers will be issued; one is to be affixed to the vessel and one to the space where it is to be stored. Do not store your vessel in a space that has another member’s sticker on it. Dinghy racks are used for spar storage in winter and must be cleared of all vessels by the start of fall haul out. A penalty will be assessed for any vessel left on the racks after that date. After the start of haul out, dinghies and kayaks may be left on the grounds near the dinghy launch ramps until Oct. 31, if you have a boat on a mooring. Slips The Club has 230 slips available to Active and Life members on an annual basis by license agreement. The license term is from approximately April 15 to October 31, as more specifically stated in the license agreement. Fees, agreement and certificate of insurance are due as stated in the license agreement. Slip vacancies are filled according to membership seniority, from a waiting list posted on the Club bulletin board. To get on the list, obtain a slip application at the Club office. Complete and return it to the office with a $100 nonrefundable deposit. The deposit will apply toward the Slip License fee. Licensees must familiarize themselves with terms, conditions and the Slip License rules. The licensee must also provide verification that the yacht to be docked in the leased slip is owned by the licensee. If the yacht is owned by more than one person, the licensee must have at least fifty percent ownership. This verification must be satisfactory to the Slip Review Committee, which is a subcommittee of the Slip Committee, and annually reviews all leases. Slips must be cleared of lines and other temporary fixtures as defined in the Slip Rules by approximately October 31,

42 with the specific date each year as specified per the lease agreement. Slips may be available for short-term rental. See “Docking - Transient Slips”. Dock Captains If questions arise about equipment, procedures, hazards or other concerns involving slips and docks, contact your dock captain. The dock captains are appointed by the Slip Committee Chair. Dock captains’ names are posted at the beginning of each dock. Dry Sailing Dry sail storage is available for Members’ boats that can be kept on trailers and launched from one of the small derricks. Space is assigned based on availability, boat type, and seniority. If space is in short supply, recognized racing fleets will be given priority. Vacancies are filled from a waiting list at the Club office. To get on the list, obtain an application at the Club office. Complete and return it to the office with a $25 nonrefundable deposit. The deposit will apply toward the license fee. Vessels must be kept on a trailer, and only one trailer per assigned space is allowed. All stored boats must have a current coded sticker issued by the Grounds Committee affixed to the transom. Stickers are available at the Club office upon payment of the dry sail fee and acceptance of the Dry Sail Storage Contract. See fee list for current cost. All dry sailed boats must be removed from Club grounds prior to the first haul out; thereafter a daily penalty will be assessed. Small Derricks Each small derrick has a 3,000-pound capacity. Each is

43 activated from a key switch. Any member who has a Dry Sail Storage Contract will be issued a key. Members using dry storage or the small derricks must read and sign a waiver available in the Club office. A coded sticker furnished with the key must be attached to the stern of the boat. Boats without stickers may not use the small derricks. Members who have paid large derrick fees for winter storage may use small derricks to handle heavy loads, other than spars, during the following boating season. A key may be obtained from the office for this use. A deposit is required. Members who use the derrick for heavy loads are expected to cooperate with the dry sailors and not obstruct their use of the derricks for extended periods. Members are required to remove equipment from the derrick area the same day they remove it from their boat. Fuel Dock Yachts may lie alongside the fuel dock only while fueling. Smoking is prohibited in the area, and all safety precautions must be observed or service will be refused. Gasoline, diesel fuel, lubricating oil and holding tank pump out service is available. Payment by cash, personal check, house charge, MasterCard, Visa, Discover or American Express is acceptable. Service will be provided by the tender operators on duty. The fuel dock is open during the hours the tender is operating. If fuel is in short supply, it will be sold only to SSYC members and members of clubs offering reciprocity. Docking - Face Docks Any member may dock his or her yacht on any of the Club’s face docks, except the front dock, for up to 2 hours without charge. For longer periods, the member must register with the Dock Master on duty and dock at the location assigned by the Dock Master. Overnight docking at any time

44 is subject to the docking fee. All day docking is also subject to the docking fee but may be waived at the discretion of the Dock Master. Yachts rafted to a docked boat are subject to the same fees. Unattended boats not registered with the Dock Master will be charged a docking fee. Docking - Transient Slips Any member desiring to use a slip on a transient basis before Memorial Day may do so at no charge, but must have permission of the licensee to use it. Additionally, members must sign in with Club management and provide a Certificate of Insurance. Any member using a slip or a face dock on a transient basis must be familiar with the “Slip Rules and Regulations” as set forth by the Slip Committee, and agree to abide by them. A copy may be obtained from the Dock Master or the Club management. From Memorial Day until the slips are closed for the season, a member may use a transient slip for the fee shown on the fee schedule. Arrangements for this must be made with the Dock Master or the Club Manager, before the member may occupy the slip. After the slips close for the season, any yacht docked in a slip or on a face dock will be assessed a $25.00 per day charge plus the in-season docking fee. Visiting Yachts By arrangement with the Dock Master, visiting yachts may lie in vacant slips for a fee. Large Derrick and Winter Storage The Club has space available to Active and Life Members in good standing for winter boat storage on an annual basis by storage contract. Fees, agreement and certificate of insurance are due as stated in the storage contract. Boat storage vacancies are filled according to membership

45 seniority from the waiting list posted on the club bulletin board. To get on the waiting list, obtain a boat storage application and return it to the office with a $200 nonrefundable deposit. The deposit will apply toward the boat storage license fee or retention of the member’s name on the wait list. Members who apply for and are offered a winter storage contract, and reject it, forfeit the deposit and will be removed from the wait list. A member in good standing entitled to renew their annual winter storage license may opt to not execute their winter storage agreement for a period not to exceed one year if their boat cannot be reasonably stored at the Club due to distance (i.e. cruising) or required off-site repairs. The fee for a one year winter storage sabbatical without being placed on the wait list will be one half of the storage contract fee and cannot be extended. The large derrick is limited to 15-ton capacity and 55 feet of boat length. All members are entitled to lift service for purposes other than boat storage at the Club. NOTE: Only designated derrick operators may operate the large derrick. Members who use a small derrick and store on the grounds pay the large derrick rates. Haul out time is limited to 1 hour per boat. If a member has unusual circumstances that require more time, arrangements must be made with the Derrick Engineers, or penalty of $25.00 will be assessed for the first hour over the allotted time, and $15.00 for each additional hour or portion thereof. Boats damaged during the boating season will be allowed 7 days on the grounds of the Club, without storage charges. Newly acquired boats may spend 3 days on the grounds without charge before launching. Emergency use of the large derrick is limited to 24 hours in the slings for each emergency. Mid-season rates apply only if the boat remains in the slings; if it is placed on a skid or trailer, season-end rates apply.

46 Failure to comply with derrick operation time limits and schedules may at the discretion of the Waterfront Services Chairman subject the member to penalties as stated in the rules and conditions of the storage contract. Trailers for boats not stored on the grounds, or not used for dry sailing, must be removed from the grounds the day the boat is launched, and must not be brought onto the grounds before the day of haul out. Storage for spars is available to all members, whether their boats are stored at the Club or not. Rigging of spars on the lawn or using lawn furniture for support of equipment is prohibited. Members who are not eligible for boat storage at the Club, but who wish to avail themselves of other derrick services, such as lifting a boat to put it on a trailer that is hauled away, or lifting a spar for a boat that is not stored at the Club, must make an appointment at the Club office and sign the appropriate contract for the service desired. All appointments for use of the large derrick are to be made with the Club Office at least 48 hours in advance. Emergency mid-season haul out arrangements are also made with the Club Office. Safety practices must be followed at all times while using the derrick. Only authorized Derrick Engineers are allowed to operate the main derrick. The Derrick Engineers are authorized to refuse to move, launch, or haul out any boat, if they deem that so doing would jeopardize the safety of any personnel or equipment. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of unsafe skids or trailers, inadequate number of helpers, or weather conditions that could be dangerous. The schedules for launch and haul out are determined by the Waterfront Services committee. All appointments must be made thru club management. Appointments are scheduled by club management and are posted on the club calendar.

Revised 2018.

47 Skid Lot The club-owned lot on the west side of the county parking lot may be used by any member for storing a skid or trailer after launch or before haul out for not more than 3 days. Any use over 3 days will be billed at $10.00 per day. Safety Report all accidents promptly to the Club office. If an accident or incident happens, when possible please report it to the office so that an incident report can be made out. Members are expected to keep their storage areas shipshape, and to clean up after haul out and launch. They are also expected to keep their slip area shipshape and free of clutter. Do not leave dock lines where they may cause problems for other members. Gasoline or other flammable materials may not be stored in lockers or dock boxes. * * * * These Rules and Regulations are subject to change at the discretion of the Club’s Board of Directors
