Marker for Application Reviews.Pub CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO LONDON N. BREED, MAYOR OFFICE OF SMALL BUSINESS REGINA DICK-ENDRIZZI, DIRECTOR Legacy Business Registry Staff Report HEARING DATE JANUARY 14, 2019 BAY VIEW BOAT CLUB Application No.: LBR-2018-19-015 Business Name: Bay View Boat Club Business Address: 489 Terry A. Francois Blvd. District: District 6 Applicant: Cynthia Hall, Member, Board of Directors Nomination Date: October 16, 2018 Nominated By: Supervisor Aaron Peskin Staff Contact: Richard Kurylo [email protected] BUSINESS DESCRIPTION The Bay View Boat Club (“BVBC”) is a recreational boating club incorporated in 1963; however, its first meeting was recorded at the Allemand Brothers shipyards at Hunters Point on April 17, 1961. The club is the result of the socializing that occurred around Joe Boesl’s boat repair shop and tavern beginning in the late 1930s. As the years passed, the concept for what is now the Bay View Boat Club emerged. The club is dedicated to promoting recreational boating for everyone, with a particular emphasis on bringing boating to the underserved neighborhood and resident. When Joe Boesl died in 1957, the properties came under the ownership of Hoagy Holmes, who became the first club commodore. In 1962, Mr. Holmes gave or sold the house to the Bay View Boat Club. In the mid- 1960s, the land where the two buildings stood was sold. The Allemand Brothers' office and lunch bar was moved 75 yards north. Spearheaded by Claire Nabonne and at the urging of the then commodore, Dave Del Carlo, a new site was found on the south bank of the public ramp off Pier 54. Nabonne and Robert Jevarian wrote to H.J. Thieman of the San Francisco Port Authority, “to make an official application” to use the property formerly leased to the Shear Pin Club, a company that had dissolved. The BVBC took on the Shear Pin Club members in exchange for their “equipment.” A lease agreement with the San Francisco Port authority was signed in May of 1964 granting the boat club use of 3,150 square feet of “bank space” and the Trost Brothers Moving Company provided a barge and a work party to tow the building to the present site of the Bay View Boat Club. The BVBC liquor license was issued in June of 1964 making it the 21st oldest continuously operated license in San Francisco. The business is located in the Bayview neighborhood on the bank of the bay east of Mission Bay Boulevard.

  • Australia's Hamilton Island Yacht Club Confirmed As Challenger Of
    GOLDEN GATE YACHT CLUB 1 Yacht Road – On the Marina San Francisco, California USA 94123 Australia’s Hamilton Island Yacht Club Confirmed as Challenger of Record for 35th America’s Cup San Francisco (September 30, 2013) – Hamilton Island Yacht Club (HIYC), located on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia, has challenged for the 35th America’s Cup. HIYC’s challenge has been accepted by the Golden Gate Yacht Club, which remains the Defender and Trustee of the world’s oldest international sporting trophy after its team, ORACLE TEAM USA owned by Larry Ellison, won the 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco last Wednesday. For the past three decades HIYC has run Audi Hamilton Island Race Week, which has become the largest annual regatta in Australia with some 200 offshore yachts competing in recent years. HIYC is led by Australian winemaker and sailing legend Bob Oatley, whose succession of yachts named Wild Oats have dominated ocean racing in Australia for years, including having won six of the last eight Sydney-Hobart races. An Australian team led by Mr. Oatley won the last Admiral’s Cup, widely regarded as the world’s top prize in ocean racing. The challenge was filed by Mr. Oatley and his son, Sandy, on behalf of HIYC shortly after ORACLE TEAM USA won the thrilling deciding final race in the 34th America’s Cup against Emirates Team New Zealand on San Francisco Bay on September 25th. “We are delighted to have Hamilton Island Yacht Club and the Oatley’s leading Australia back into the America’s Cup for the first time since 2000,” said GGYC Vice Commodore and America’s Cup liaison Tom Ehman.

Ramblings p12 use my bully pulpit to again invite and implore all of our Nominations Time p13 membership to take part in the weekend’s activities. In my Coast Guard Day p13 mind, the idea of an “annual regatta” is not just the high Coming Events p14 point of any yacht club’s sailing season, but a time-tested Heard ‘Round the Club p14 responsibility in which our club serves to both draw us together as well as welcoming guests from across our region. On the bulkhead of my Tartan 27, Olin, hangs a framed postcard from a very different era that depicts an extremely familiar scene. Most likely produced in the late ‘40s or early ‘50s, it depicts the awards ceremony at the end of a regatta at the Put-In-Bay Yacht Club on Lake Erie. The scene is identical to that of similar occasions that most of us have attended. If you’ll indulge my practice of undergraduate-level art history interpretation, I’ll point out many of the constants that we see to this day.

INTRODUCTION: "THE OLDEST CONTINUOUS TROPHY IN SPORTS" 2 One-hundred and thirty-seven ounces of solid silver, standing over two feet tall, this "One Hundred Guinea Cup" created under the authorization of Queen Victoria in 1848 is physically what is at stake at every America's Cup regatta.3 However, it is the dignity, honor, and national pride that attach to the victor of this cherished objet d'art that have been the desire of the yacht racing community since its creation. 4 Unfortunately, this desire often turns to envy and has driven some to abandon concepts of sportsmanship and operate by "greed, commercialism and zealotry."5 When these prin- ciples clash "the outcome of the case [will be] dictated by elemental legal principles."6 1.

  • Costs and Benefits of Hosting the 34Th America's
    LEGISLATIVE ANALYST REPORT: COSTS AND BENEFITS OF HOSTING THE 34TH AMERICA’S CUP IN SAN FRANCISCO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The America’s Cup is the premier sailing event in the world. Hosting the 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco, an event reported to be the third largest in all of sports behind the Olympics and the World Cup, would make San Francisco one of only seven cities in the world to have hosted an America’s Cup. In addition to the prestige of such an event, hosting the America’s Cup would also bring significant economic benefits to the region. The Budget and Legislative Analyst wants to make it very clear that the disclosures made in this report, pertaining to the estimated costs and benefits to the City and County of San Francisco, are not for the purpose of determining whether the America’s Cup should be held in San Francisco. We clearly recognize the importance and prestige of hosting such an event in San Francisco. However, it is the responsibility of the Budget and Legislative Analyst to report the facts to the Board of Supervisors. On February 14, 2010, at the 33rd America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, BMW Oracle, a sailing syndicate (or team) based out of the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco, defeated the defending syndicate to become the winner of the 33rd America’s Cup. Under the rules governing the America’s Cup, the winner of the America’s Cup is entitled to select the race format, date, and location of the next race.

  • Reflections on Breast Implants and Explantation Linda Huang, M.D
    Reflections on Breast Implants and Explantation Linda Huang, M.D. It is hard to know where to begin about breast implants. I started medical school out in California at Stanford. The school was built on an old dairy farm full of rolling green hills dotted with live oaks and streets lined with palm trees, but behind this bucolic setting was a vibrant plastic surgery department. There were all sorts of new and exciting developments in plastic surgery in the 1970s. Stanford’s surgeons were busy, busy, busy. They were among the first to use an operating microscope to reattach fingers that had been severed, and later to cut off a toe and move it up to the hand to fashion a thumb. And they were among the first to work on transgender reorientation surgery, where they were also cutting off parts to repurpose them! Bell bottoms, free love and hippies of the sixties in San Francisco had also given way to a more troubled side. Before we knew about AIDs, we saw young men with strange, heretofore rare symptoms, now popping up on many young men: purple skin lesions called Kaposis Sarcoma. The AIDS virus was discovered as the cause for these strange purple spots in 1982. And we saw the first topless strip club. The Condor Club featured Carol Doda, who went from her modest 34Ds to her infamous twin peak 44 triple Ds. She achieved this dubious triumph through the miracle of silicone injections. And the advertisement went something like, “See her get bigger before your eyes.” And she truly did get bustier through monthly injections of silicone directly into her breasts.

  • GOLDEN GATE YACHT CLUB #1 Yacht Road, San Francisco, California USA 94123
    GOLDEN GATE YACHT CLUB #1 Yacht Road, San Francisco, California USA 94123 Statement New York, NY, April 28, 2009 – At Golden Gate Yacht Club’s request, the Supreme Court of the State of New York today issued an order directing the defender, Société Nautique de Genève, to show cause why it should not be held in contempt of court. SNG has refused to comply with the Court’s April 7, 2009 Order and Judgment concerning the dates for the next America’s Cup match. The court scheduled a hearing for May 14, 2009 at 0930. In early April the New York State Court of Appeals, in a unanimous 6-0 ruling, held that GGYC is the rightful challenger, and that the next match would be in ten months, meaning early February 2010. However, in a letter last week to GGYC, SNG unilaterally dictated that the match would be in May 2010 in defiance of the Court’s April 7 Order and Judgment. SNG and Alinghi officials also made the same statements widely in the media. “By forcing litigation over our rightful challenge, they have already managed to delay the match from July 2008 to February 2010,” said GGYC spokesman Tom Ehman. “Now they seek another three-month delay, in defiance of the Court’s clear mandate. Enough is enough.” At a meeting with SNG representatives in Geneva last week, GGYC’s straight- forward proposal for a conventional, multi-challenger America’s Cup in monohulls was categorically rejected by SNG. # # # Editor’s Note: For additional background, please go to www.ggyc.com.
