In last month’s Soundings, I mentioned the Club performed an audit to check compliance with Dock Rule D2; Conditions of Slip Rental/Dry Storage. Eighty- eight letters were sent to slip holders reminding them that providing the Club cop- ies of their boat’s current United States Coast Guard documentation or State reg- istration, a copy of their $500,000 liability insurance with SGYC listed as an Soundings Due Dates “additional insured”, proof that they owned their boat, and their bottom paint sur- vey are all required to slip their boat at SGYC. I’m happy to report back that, so June Issue 05/26 far, just about half of these slip holders have responded. I want to thank those July Issue 06/25 Members who responded so rapidly and submitted their missing documents. This August Issue 07/26 issue is not going away, and you saved this Commodore from having to write many less-friendly follow-up letters in the coming weeks.

AMERICA’S SCHOONER CUP SUMMARY It has been a few weeks now, but this is the first chance I’ve had to broadcast the America’s Schooner Cup results and thank everyone involved in the regatta for the months of hard work leading up to the race itself and the events surrounding our month-long Schooner Cup celebration. Thanks to all the committee members and dozens and dozens of volunteers that come together to make the event work. It is truly a signature Silver Gate event. First the results. We had four classes including a unique twelve-foot schooner, Pacifier, originally built by our very own Paul Mitchell. Her red, white and blue sails really stood out on the bay as she easily completed her course, which was slightly altered to accommodate her smaller size. In Group A: Bill of Rights won with a corrected time of just under two hours for the 14-mile course. Maid of Kent was second and only five minutes behind the leader and the Californian another forty minutes back. They apparently took the long way around to show their paying passengers a bit more of the San Diego scenery. In Group B: Shine On, Witchcraft and Lively put on a good race with only twelve minutes separating the three boats. Scrimshaw, the ACS winner a few years back, finished thirty minutes later. In Group C: We were privileged again this year, to have three schooners, Curlew, Dauntless and Rose of Sharon racing against each other again, reliving a race from Newport, R.I. to Bermuda in 1930 – 86 years ago! Also in Group C were Skookum III (another former ASC winner) and America from the Maritime Museum (as was the Cal- ifornian in Group B). Rose of Sharon defeated her old foe, Curlew, by a mere 48 seconds in corrected time to take honors in this Group. The America’s Schooner Cup trophy this year went to Rose of Sharon skippered by Brian Chamberlain, followed closely by Curlew and Robert Harrison, Jr.’s crew. Overall, it was a very competitive race with the top seven fin- ishers’ overall corrected time within 15 minutes of each other. And even though the day began with light winds that had the committee boat thinking about shortening the course, wind built in the afternoon so all boats were able to finish the course – a good day for everyone on the water. I mentioned thanks to all above, but it seems inadequate given the work and passion given by so many to this month-long event. Proceeds will go to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society with a presentation at our Opening Day on May 21st. Plan to attend to honor this very worthy charity benefitting active-duty and retired military. Publicity exploded this year thanks to Paul Mitchell, Brad Brown, and others. We received a full page spread in the Union Tribune, articles in Latitude 38, The Log, The Penisula Beacon, interviews on our docks which aired on local TV news, publicity through the Maritime Museum that sold seats on the Californian and the San Salvador, and Bill of Rights, which also took passengers to help fund their educational efforts. Our fund raising efforts at SGYC were very successful starting with the Sunset Cruise in mid-March, followed by a Cheeseburger in Paradise Party which sold out (thank you, Gary Seiler) and our awards dinner following the race itself, which also sold out and which had the drawing for our major prize, the Star Clipper Cruise won by Nancie & Michael Lafferty. Overall, we raised $32,000 for NMCRS. We’ll take a few months off, but will be right back at it in October. Consider volunteering for this fun and reward- ing event. We need your talents and enthusiasm to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of America’s Schooner Cup in 2018!! Thank you Silvergaters.

WHEELCHAIR REGATTA It's spring! The Schooner Cup is behind us and now it's time to start preparing for the Wheelchair Regatta. By the time this goes to print, the sign-up sheets will be in the hallway next to the office. All the Chair positions are filled and they are looking for volunteers. No matter what you are good at, there is a place for you on one of those lists, so please do your part and help out. If you haven't done it before, you're in for a great experience. Your help on the one day that many of the participants call their only day out, and others call their favorite day of the year, needs to be experienced. It really is one of the most rewarding things you can do. So don't delay, SIGN UP! And if you have a power boat that can carry a couple of wheelchairs, we have a sign -up for that as well. Even though we have boats from other clubs and marinas tak- ing passengers for an hour long spin around the bay, we just don't have enough. Consider bringing your boat and participating in this great event. Don't worry if you are short crew to give a guided tour as you travel around; Re- gatta Control will provide someone to accompany you. Just fill out your application form and they will take care of you.

Silver Gate Anglers Jim Hallameyer

It’s Tuesday, April 25th as I write this, and the weather report is calling for a small craft advisory offshore until at least 10:00 PM tonight. But, have no fear, we’re looking at some warm weather and smooth seas for the coming week. Improving conditions and recent reports of some Bluefin around the 43 Spot are making the anglers salivate. We’re all anticipating another great fishing season! In the meantime, the SGYC Anglers have some events for our angling Members to participate in as we tune up for those offshore runs. Mark your calendars for the following dates:  May 6th Southwestern Yacht Club will hold its Annual Bottom Fishing Tournament.  May 13th is our own Dock Fishing Tournament right here at SGYC.  May 13th is also the date for the Marlin Club’s Spring Shootout.  June 17th is the date for the Bay Fishing Challenge.  June 17th is also the date for the Marlin Club’s Halibut Tournament.  July 9th will be our next SGYC Angler’s Breakfast. Details for some of these events are posted on our SGYC Club bulletin board. Also, watch for email blasts from the Club office for sign up info. All SGYC Members are invited to join with the SGYC Anglers and participate in our events. WOO-HOO … or should that be Wahoo!

Treasurer Mike Van Mouwerik

I wanted to give you all a heads-up on how the new Bar and Galley minimum is being implemented. Beginning in April, we have moved from a $15 per month minimum to $150 per quarter. This was done to encourage use of the Bar and Galley to ensure we continue to have a quality and viable Bar and Galley service. We have actually already suffered a snafu with implementing this change. March was the last month for the $15 minimum and should have been calculated and included in the April billing. Suffice it to say that the March calculation was not done and no mini- mums were charged. So anyone that did not meet the $15 minimum for March will see this correction on the bill they see in May, and that will close out the monthly mini- mum. The first new quarterly minimum charge will be calculated at the end of June and you may see a charge on the bill you receive in early July. You will not see a minimum charge on your bill if you have spent at least $150 cumulatively in the months of April, May, and June. Going forward the office will calculate these minimum charges at the end of March, June, Septem- ber, and December. There was some concern that moving to a quarterly minimum could result in a surge in Bar and Galley business at the end of each quarter, which could be difficult to manage. I hope that this will not be the case and that we see a general increase in sales throughout the quarter. Having increased business will allow us to maintain the current service hours and avoid the need to increase the Bar and Galley management fee paid to Consummate Catering. There is a ballot measure, not supported by the Board, that would add a new by-law which includes a hard number as to what the Bar and Galley minimum should be. Please carefully consider the arguments included in the ballot materials, and vote No.

Enjoy Reading and Discussing What You’ve Read? Book Club for May 2017 is cancelled, due to too many conflicting events. Join us in the Library Sunday, June 25th at 11:00 AM to discuss the non-fiction book The Zookeeper’s Wife: A War Story, by Diane Ackerman. A true story in which the keepers of the Warsaw Zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands. The dis- cussion will be led by Frances Grimes. Questions? Contact Susan Fantle at [email protected]

JUNIOR SAILING NEWS! We’ve been having some great spring weather for our ongoing weekend program and our group of stalwart young ladies has been having a great time perfecting their sailing skills and building friendships. What could be better! Even though we’re still firmly in spring, my sights are now on finalizing all of the myr- iad details to be ready for the summer program starting on June 19th. I’m very hap- py (and relieved) to report that we have hired all of our instructional staff for the sum- mer. We have Alex, from Baltimore who is moving to San Diego with his bride and has been working as head coach of the Loyola sailing team. Alex also has offshore experience and has the best teaching credentials of any instructor we’ve ever had. Mandi hails from Minnesota and is a biology major at University of South Florida where she has been racing FJ’s and 420’s for the University. And, Rosie Donnellan is coming all the way from Cork, Ireland. She is a second year dental surgery student at University College Cork and has a very impressive sailing and teaching resume. I hope that when you see these young folks around the club you will extend a friendly Silver Gate welcome!

JR. SAILING SPRUCE-UP DAY I had reported last month that our Junior Sailing Spruce-Up Day would be held on the 6th of May. I’ve had to change that date and we’re now scheduled for Saturday, May 13th beginning at 9:00AM. Please lend a hand and help us ready the fleet for summer!

Please spread the word about our SUMMER PROGRAM beginning in June. We are unique among the yacht clubs in the area:  We have a full-day program  We have a low student/instructor ratio  We furnish all of the boats  We focus on FUN!

There is a summer registration discount being offered right now but it expires on May 5th.

Please let me know if you have some time to help with the junior program. There are so many things to be done and I’m sure I can find a job that is just right for you! Fair Winds and Smiling Faces!!

OPENING DAY WEEKEND Why does Silver Gate Yacht Club have opening day ceremonies even though Members sail and boat year-round? The custom traces back to the practices of meteorologically challenged clubs on the Eastern Seaboard, but in sunny San Diego it’s a chance for SGYC Members to re- new friendships, meet members from other yacht clubs, have a few drinks, and cele- brate camaraderie. Silver Gate Yacht Club will celebrate Opening Day Weekend beginning Saturday, May 20th with our annual dock party where all Members are invited to come on down, have a beverage, and enjoy your club. Sunday, May 21st we will be opening the yachting season for 2017, followed by a wonderful reception in our club house.

2017 CRUISING SCHEDULE I'm sorry to inform you all that our raft-up at Pier 32 Marina scheduled for May 5-6 was canceled yesterday by the marina manager; as they do not have enough empty slips to accommodate us. I guess the economy is getting better. But we switched to plan B, and are going to Loews Coronado Bay for the weekend. More information to come.  Loews Coronado Bay May 5th & 6th  June 2nd & 3rd will see us at Glorietta Bay  July 22nd & 23rd Mission Bay Commodore’s Raft-up  September 1st thru 4th Santa Margarita/Camp Pendleton  September 5th thru ? Catalina Island  October 27th & 28th La Playa Cove Halloween Raft-up

Port Captain Terry Willis

The beautiful weather is showing up, which brings out the boating adventure in SGYC Members. Just a reminder when taking your boat out for longer than over- night, please file a float plan. This makes space additional to the guest dock for Jr. Flag Members to visit the club with their boats, as well as visiting vessels from other yacht clubs. The great weather is also making the “Silvergater” more popular. A new motor was installed several months ago. If you do not have a signed check-out form in your file, please contact Terry Willis so arrangements can be made to go over the Silvergater, get it documented, and in your file. Even if you were checked out years ago, a signed check-out form may not have been put into your file. This is a requirement for use of the Silvergater and it only takes a short time to complete the checkout. Sever- al Members have commented that even though they have been using the Silvergater over the years, they learned something they were not aware of—and it never hurts to refresh. The checkout requirement will hopefully keep the new motor like new for Member enjoyment. Jr. Flag Members, make that call to the office or myself to make arrangements to visit the club with your boat. In the summer months there are many more opportunities to do this as Flag Member slipholders head off to the local cruising spots, Catalina, and beyond. It’s a wonderful way to take a break from the commercial marina and enjoy being at the Club, with all of the great amenities, and of course the chance to make more friends. You are allowed a total of 30 days per year (10 days per visit) to bring your boat into the guest dock or vacant slip to enjoy the club. Make ar- rangements early to ensure availability. See you on the docks.

(Commodore, Continued from page 1)

If you’re a new or relatively new Member, May is a great month get acquainted with your club. The Membership Committee is holding a Prospective Members Open House on Sunday, May 7th at 2:00 PM. Please come out, enjoy the fine spring weather, and meet other Silvergaters! If you’re a new Member with a desire to help others, you’ve joined the right club. Please consider attending the Wheelchair Regatta (WCR) Committee meeting on Monday, May 15th at 6:30 PM in the Club’s banquet room. You’ll learn what the WCR is all about and why it’s become so important both to us and to our community. For some of our WCR guests, it’s the one day of the year they get out of their homes or their facilities and into the great outdoors. All Members, new and old and in-between, ought to consider the SGYC Opening Day Dock Party on Saturday, May 20th at 1:00 PM a must-attend. It’s a casual party held on the docks and one of the best parties of the year! Of course, if you’re a new Member who hasn’t yet experienced our slightly more formal Opening Day Ceremony, consider coming out the following day on Sunday, May 21st at 9:30 AM and see what it’s all about. You’ll have the chance to meet and greet yacht club members from around Southern California who come help us celebrate the official start of yachting season. Better Days!

CONGRATULATIONS to all our newest Members! We look forward to having you in the Silver Gate family. And many thanks to all of our Sponsors – you’re the best ambassadors for SGYC! MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL We are running a limited time MEMBERSHIP SPECIAL with a 50% discount on the current initia- tion fees. It all kicks off at our Prospective Member Open House on May 7th and runs through June 20th. This is a great opportunity to bring family and friends who have an interest in boating and the boating lifestyle to SGYC to learn about the privileges and benefits of Membership.

The Membership Committee had a brainstorming session at our recent meeting regarding how best to make new Members feel welcome in our Club by helping them meet other Members. Of course, once new Members begin

(Membership, Continued from page 10) coming to social events and helping out at an event or on a committee, they meet other Members and get plugged into the Club culture very quickly. That being said, it can be a little daunting the first few times you head up to the bar and realize you don’t know many people there. It’s obvious that everyone else is having a great time - seeing tables pulled together for small groups and people visiting back & forth from table to table enjoying the wonderful camaraderie. So, in order to help our newest Members get to know our legacy Members, each of us on the Mem- bership Committee will take some time out when in the bar to play host/hostess. We’ll be on the lookout for newer Members (or someone sitting alone that appears to be a new Member) and will introduce them to other Members in the Bar to help folks meet each other. When this happens, feel free to invite the new Member to join your table if you’re in a social frame of mind and/or not committed to another party etc. We will all approach this in our own way, so you may get a call from a committee Member who has matched you up with a new Member with similar interests and ask if you’d be inclined to meet them at the Bar/Galley at a mutu- ally agreeable time, to visit and get to know each other. We will also be taking pictures of our 2017 new Members that will be displayed outside the Bar so everyone can put a face with a name.

I WANT TO THANK MY COMMITTEE MEMBERS - it is an awesome team! Very passionate about helping our Member- ship to grow and thrive in a quality environment. Each brings excellent skills to the table and we have many lively discussions. Please be sure to say thank you the next time you see them: Brenda Cooper, Susan Fantle, Brenda Ferich, Sandy Hardaker, Karl Lilienwald, Dorothy Ortmeier, Joseph Pieri, Dorothy Ricci, Emma Sahagun-Ratz, Pat Walker. And a big thank you also goes out to James Pennington, who spent quite a few years on our committee, until this year when he became a Director on our Board. He still makes some cameo appearances and is always welcome! A special thanks to James for getting the new Quota of One pins designed and manufactured. They’ll be awarded to the 2016 & 2017 Quota of One winners at an upcoming event. If you missed our April 29th Fun & Fitness Fleet workshop, see below for 2 upcoming workshops in June and Au- gust. It’s a good way to become familiar with the SUP’s, Kayaks, and the Rowboat.

Fleet Captain Larry Hinck

The warmer season is upon us and it is time to dust off your sails, tune up your engines, scrape off the barnacles and get out on the water, and enjoy this beautiful place.

During the month of April we had our annual JANE SWETT AROUND CORONADO ISLAND RACE, on a beautiful day with light winds for the first two hours and then filled in with steady winds of 20-25 knots for the rest of the race. A total of 16 boats sailed in the race with 9 of the boats from Silver Gate. Almost all of the boats finished before 6:00 PM. By the time we all finished everyone was exhausted from the windy conditions but had great fun and a lot of good stories to tell the next day at the awards ceremony.

RESULTS for the Silver Gate Yacht Club Family Fleet are as follows: Sabbatical – Larry Pascoe Paradise – Dennis Jackson Hasta Luego – Bob & Andrea Seddig Malaki – Larry & Pat Hinck Flying Circus – Tony Jeske Pisces – Steve Edenson Hopscotch – Jim Holden Inspiration – Dan Golembiewski Morning Star – Lee Johnson Paradise

UPCOMING FLEET EVENTS in May are:  May 6th & 7ty – Cruise to Loews Coronado Bay Resort  May 13th – Silver Gate Yacht Club Second Annual Dock Fishing Tournament  May 20th – Galleon Sail Fleet race  May 27th – V-32 Model Boat race

See you out on the water and have fun.
