OFFICER REPORTS

Commodore: We are looking for a volunteer to help lead up the CSC effort for California Coastal Cleanup Day (Part of a worldwide coastal cleanup day) on Sept. 15 from 9am to noon. The volunteer will need to get the word out to CSC members and coordinate with Cal Adventures and our local Coastal Cleanup coordinator. Coastal Cleanup Day is actually really important and DBW puts pressure on us to participate. We do not just pick up trash but we also keep statistics. For example, this allowed the state to track that plastic bags are no longer in the top ten pieces of trash picked up, which basically means the plastic bag ban was very effective. I believe our clean up efforts will be along the South Sailing Basin.

Get signed up for Yahoo group, so you can learn about events like Coastal Cleanup, Cruises, special clinics, and other opportunities at the club.

We are coming up on your 70th year at the club we want to have an anniversary party at the November GMM. Announcements will be forthcoming for volunteers to help create an awesome party for the 70th anniversary.

Vice Commodore (Mary): Let’s give Lonnie a big high-five because he does so much. We are proud of how smoothly open houses are going and we are grateful of all the work everyone puts in at open houses. This year’s open houses have been capsize-free, let’s keep that record going. Keep loving our new members, take them under your wing, and help them be part of this great community.

First Vice: Almost all of our 26 dinghies are sailable. One JY15 needs the mast and rigging installed and one Quest needs to have sails put up and some additional small components to be sailable. We have new headsails for the Quests, and held a clinic to show members how to install them. Tim Garcia will be doing a dinghy repair clinic in the next month. Anyone interested in coordinating a repair clinic or doing repairs in general should contact James Clarkson.

Second Vice: Thank you windsurfers for helping out at open house

Third Vice: This quarter we are back to a 6-boat fleet as The Boat Formerly Known as Portugal Princes (tm) is back home. Even with a few early regretful scratches, she is absolutely beautiful. Huge thanks to Sheldon, Greg, Robert, and over a dozen others who collectively put in almost 1000 hours of work, saving us thousands of dollars in KKMI labor. The rest of the fleet is in good condition. We're getting ready to order some new sails, and the merits and maybe Pomodoro will be getting new running rigging soon.

Rear Commodore (sailing):

Dinghy Instruction (last 3 months) - Running about the same number of students Saturdays, slightly lower on weekdays. Thanks to those who have been doing Ground School on Saturdays, where we’ve been running in the 40s of students, many waiting an hour or more.

Fast Track - 4 completed, 1 remaining. Really good program, great fun, great results.

Keelboat Program - Slowed down a lot because of work on Portugal Princess, that took away instructors. Picking up now. We now have Keelboat Lessons Coordinator, Oliver Palmer, who is doing this for the next 3 months as a Senior Project. Not only will he coordinate lessons, he will help set up a process to do that in the future.

Sailboat Ratings for 2018 - 43 Novices, 52 Juniors,,3 Seniors, 3 Cruise

New Instructors - Some recent Juniors have been doing a lot of teaching, many thanks for that. Gene, Memo, David, and others.

Rear Commodore (windsurfing): Ratings for 2018, novice = 177, junior = 36, J+ = 13

Secretary: the clubhouse AED was tested and is working fine.
