Commodore’s Scuttlebutt
This is my last column as
Commodore, with the Change of
Watch coming up on November 7th .
This past year was a roller coaster
ride. I couldn’t have predicted any
of the events that occurred; but
the fact is that I immensely enjoyed dealing with
various aspects of the challenges the Club faced and
particularly having as colleagues, my flag officers,
Justine Fairey, the Vice Commodore, and Bob
Schaberg, the Rear Commodore. I felt at times
that we were the three musketeers, Athos, Porthos,
and Aramis, fighting the Cardinal’s guard, with
their steady and sound counsel. And the Board
of Directors as a whole was more than I ever could
have hoped for in dedication, independence,
civility, thoughtfulness, and congeniality. I had
fun. There, I said it.
Thinking back on the year we had some great
times. I am thinking of our Opening Day festivities
and entry in the PICYA contest gaining us the
Captain Morgan Spiced Rum Perpetual Trophy,
the institution of Fuel Day giving us cheap fuel
and a ton of good memories of Saturday morning
coffee, donuts, and camaraderie, the membership
voting for Regular Spousal Membership and the
47 couples who are now so classed, the great car
and boat show, the incredible success in bringing
in new members to the Club, the great landscape
work days, the great cruises we went on, all the
In September, we received word that Paul
Zwimpfer could not continue as Treasurer because
of the press of out of state business. We then
turned to new Regular Spousal Member Kathleen
Barr and convinced her to become Treasurer. She
has a wealth of experience, serving currently on
the Finance Committee of another great Marin
yacht club, and actively running three food service
businesses. Please welcome her.
Looking to the future, I am certain our Club is
going to have a great 2010. The nominating
committee outdid themselves in picking the 2010
slate of officers and directors. Each of them has
proven ability and commitment. Well before
the Change of Watch, Bob Schaberg has taken
steps to secure the very best people for the various
committee Chair positions, and will be in a position
to be off and running at the Change of Watch.
The part of the future I do know about is the
Egg Nog Party, which will occur Friday evening,
December 4th, and feature Club-made egg nog,
specialty drinks, and appetizers and desserts that
the members should bring pot luck style. With
the Club in full Holiday decoration, Santa’s Party
which will feature Santa and Mrs. Claus arriving
by Sans Souci on Sunday, December 6th to delight
children of all ages, and the New Year’s Eve Party
will kick off 2010 with the Club decorated to the
theme of Winter Wonderland.
Port Captain’s Report
Webster’s defines YACHTSMAN as, “a person who owns or sails a yacht.” This has never seemed to me to be a very satisfactory definition. Early-on, I imagined a smartly turned-out individual in white flannel trousers and a navy blazer. The YACHT was two hundred feet of varnished wood and polished metal. To refer to any boat less than that was highly pretentious. Over time, I began to realize that even a boat of very modest dimensions if it were meticulously maintained and skillfully operated deserved to be called a yacht. It followed that an individual, who loved boats and the sea and was considerate of others on the water, could also be a yachtsman.
The above comments were prompted by a note that I received from a long-time member who decried the lack of courtesy shown by some members and visitors as they plowed into our harbor, throwing an uncomfortable wake. To expand on this thought, the narrow two mile long channel that leads to marker 17 needs the same consideration. A yachtsman respects the comfort of everyone on the water. I hope that every vessel that flies our burgee is a yachtsman. On another tack, the recent October storm caught some members unaware and some damage was sustained. Now that winter is officially here, all are reminded to keep dock lines snug, so that the boat doesn’t swing back and forth. One or two spring lines, even on smaller boats, are beneficial. Canvas biminis, enclosures and dinghy covers always get hit the hardest. Dinghies tend to fill with water or blow off. Our national flag is always hauled down at sunset, don’t let your burgee get blown to shreds.

GM Report
I would like to take this opportunity to communicate some exciting news at the club. On line reservations are now available through the Club’s calendar on the web site. The events marked by a red circle are available for on line reservations. For more detailed instructions, please visit the Club’s web site at www. marinyachtclub.com
The Club has begun sending monthly statements via email and regular mail. The Club will continue to use both methods for the next several statements. The reasons for sending the monthly statements by email are efficiency, timeliness and significant cost savings for the club. Beginning in January 2010, with the December statements, the Club will send statements via email only. Those members who do not have email address on file with the Club will continue to receive monthly statements by regular mail. In an effort to provide better service to the members, the Club has begun an “all inclusive” pricing for food and beverage items. This means the printed menu prices will now reflect the service charge (18%) and sales tax (9.5%) the members currently pay. This procedure allows the staff to present a receipt for each purchase that reflects the total price paid. This procedure will also provide cost saving for the club in the accounting department.
Chef, Allison English, has chosen to peruse other opportunities, and the Club would like to thank her for her time and wish her the best of luck. We have started searching for a new Chef and hope to have some one in place very soon. The Club will continue to provide wonderful dinners on Friday and Sunday utilizing the current staff at the club until a new Chef is place.
Your name will be entered in a raffle, and the winner will receive a certificate for a premium bottle of red or white wine for consumption at the Club at a date of your choosing. How very easy is that!!!!
Raffle starts on November 13th, 2009. So call or email early.
Justine and Marty, House Committee
That’s Entertainment!
2009 may be winding down, but the entertainment committee still has several events to help you enjoy the upcoming holidays.
We will be decorating the club after Thanksgiving and inviting all members to don their holiday attire and join is at the club on Friday, December 4th, for an EGGNOG party. This event will replace our normal Friday dinner. We ask that you bring a special appetizer or dessert to share. All appetizers will be served by the dining staff along with a roast turkey and ham. A wonderful way to enjoy some holiday cheer. See our flyer for details.
December 6th, Santa arrives by boat at 3:30 pm for the annual Children’s Christmas party. Sir Lantz will once again dazzle children and adults with his outstanding Balloon Art and Magic show following a buffet dinner. Last year we had over 100 guests so please reserve your space early. See our flyer for the full scoop.
The year will wrap up by a fabulous “Winter Wonderland” New Year’s Eve celebration with cocktails, dinner and dancing to a 4 piece band. We hope you will plan on sharing this special night with us.
Fast forward to 2010: The entertainment committee needs volunteers to plan and execute our monthly events. Joining this committee is a lot of fun and a great way to meet other members. This past year, we continued many of the club’s most successful annual events as well as introducing several new ones. Our goal is to make MYC the “happenin” place for members’ social calendars. We welcome new committee members willing to share ideas and plan an exciting calendar for the coming year.
that week. Reserve early and maybe you will be enjoying a free bottle of wine on your next visit! I look forward to seeing you at the Club.

From our Harbormaster
Hello boaters! It appears as winter is here, and we have had one big wind on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago and then a huge storm with five inches of rain with measured wind at 35 knots in our harbor. That being said, now is the time we should check our dock lines. I have noticed some of them are chaffed and worn and should be replaced. After replacing them, proper use of spring lines minimizes the stress to the boat, the dock, and the shore power cord. Spring lines should be at midship, secured at the dock fore and aft as opposed to straight up and down. Also now is the time to examine your shore power cord because with winter here your power usage goes up with heaters and lights, etc. The things to look for are: the condition of the pins and the receptacle, any discoloration, and melting of the plastic. If any of these conditions arise or you just want to have them checked out, please feel free to call on me.
I would like to take a moment to thank some members who have helped me secure your boats during some of those storms: Bruce Rubin, Brad Kaufold, Noel Diefendorf and of course Don Lesley. Their help was greatly appreciated.
It is not too early to start thinking about lighting your boats for the holidays!
See you on the docks.
Dave, Harbormaster
House News
A gigantic thank you goes to this year’s entertainment committee members who made all of our entertainment events possible:
Joyce Siegan, Claire McBride, Alex Dickerman, Margaret Pizzi, Sylvia Edwards, Lina White, Lill Cranmer, Holly Olsen, Karen Burnworth and Donna Purvis.
Call me at 415-717-1235 if you are interested in joining the entertainment committee for 2010! We will plan a kick off meeting sometime in December. Happy Holidays!
Janet Holt, Entertainment Chair
Coach Jade’s Tennis News
I would like first to congratulate some outstanding players for their performance in the Marin Open singles and Doubles. Kristen Pfeifer won in Singles in the 3.5 division. John and Margaret Pizzi won in Mixed doubles in the 7.0 division.
Our Marin Mixed league is still going, and so far our 6.0 team holds first place, and our 7.0 team is battling very hard against very tough opponents. When this league is over, we will have to start focusing on the USTA Mixed starting in January.
On a personal note, I would like to report that my “Boss” Rich is recovering extremely well from his hip replacement surgery. It’s been only a week, and he is already walking around his house with no cane or crutches! He told me he took his racquet out of the closet and is practicing his swing in his living room. Way to go Rich! You are a true inspiration!
Jade Nguyen, Tennis Club Director
2010 Commordore’s Cruise
Mark your calendar for Sunday, November 15th and join us for information about the 2010 Commodore’s Cruise to Alaska! Meet at 4:30 in the Upstairs Bar. We would like to have some input as to dates...i.e.... September or August, and then decide on the date for the cruise. There are some really good rates, and
upgrades available on cruises at this time.
There will be a flyer in the December “Bugle” with the actual itinerary, prices, sign-up information. If you are at all interested, we look forward to seeing you on Sunday the 15th.

Blue Water Cruise
On a foggy morning, six boats set out from Marin Yacht Club and one from Napa set out on the first leg of the 2009 blue water cruise. They were Andiamo (Lisa and Harold), Intrepid (JoAnne and Don Lesley), North Star (Chris and Dan Wambach), Sandpiper (Moe Witzel, Fari and Zia Ahari and Jim Patten), Sun Quest (Claire and Charlie McBride) and Wiki Wai (Ann and Gordon Blumenfeld and the Borks). Mystique with Bob and Misty Kaltreider made the long trek from Napa. Unfortunately, Sandpiper had to return.
The remaining boats carefully made their way through the fog and settled into Pillar Point Marina or its Anchorage. Ann and Gordon graciously hosted the group for cocktails. Some people went to the Half Moon Bay Yacht Club and others dined in the various restaurants.
The next day, Wiki Wai and Andiamo returned to Marin and the remaining four boats cruised to Santa Cruz where it was bright and sunny. Intrepid held the cocktails and later the crews from Mystique and Sun Quest went to 50’s night at Santa Cruz Yacht Club. Day 3 found the group heading to Still Water Cove for a three day anchorage. While the sun had disappeared the sea was pleasant. That evening,
Harbor Master Charlie of the Still Water Yacht Club hosted a wonderful barbecue on the beach.
During the remaining days in the anchorage, we continued the good times. Bob and Misty and Charlie went diving. Others walked to Carmel or just swayed gently at anchor. Don and Betty Tomb and Jim Patten joined us for lunch at the beautiful Beach and Tennis Club. Claire McBride returned to Marin with the Tombs and Jim became crew on Sun Quest. North Star and Sun Quest, with Mystique, continued the big hors d’ouevre parties. The last night the big Tsunami alert occurred. Everyone listened carefully to the reports, but decided it was a non event and went to bed.
The group started the trip back to Marin with a second stop at Santa Cruz. Another party! The weather forecasts began calling for winds and increasing seas, so the group decided to omit Pillar Point stop and head directly to Marin. The return trip was uneventful. The Pacific and the Bay were wonderfully smooth. If it sounds like we had a lot of parties, well we did and they were all great fun. Looking forward to having more of you join us in the future.
Don and JoAnne Lesley
MYC Pirates visit Coyote Point
A small but hardy fleet of MYC vessels visited Coyote Point Yacht Club in San Mateo over the International Speak Like a Pirate Day weekend, Sept. 18-20. BOB and MARY BETH WHEELER on NEFER, followed closely by MARTY and JOYCE SIEGAN led the way on a beautiful day on the South Bay— almost no wind. By cocktail time on Friday, RIC andANN LAURENCE on IDYLIC, BOB and SYLVIA EDWARDS on SYLVIA’S VALET, and NOEL and BONNIE DIEFENDORF on TIME OUT had joined the assault. Rumors to the contrary, there was plenty of water and wonderful hospitality, including a nice goodie bag presented to each boat by the CPYC Port Captain. A great meal was had at the CPYC Prime Rib Night buffet.
Saturday everybody began thinking about pirate costumes and activities for the day. Bob and Sylvia were off for some golf, and the rest, joined by DOUG HONN and DORRIS, took advantage of a breakfast laid on just for MYC by the CPYC Social Chairman. By late morning, the pirate fleet was complete with the arrival of Commodore JIM and DONNA PURVIS on SAN SOUCI. We were then joined on the dock by about eight boats from the Weber Point YC in the Delta.
The pirate festivities started with a Pirate Training session—and rum punch—on the dock. All MYC pirates were appropriately dressed, with some outdoing themselves. The Wheelers and Siegans demonstrated Pirate Talk, followed by a general free-for-all sword fight with stale bread baguettes as sabers. The winners were Donna and Sylvia, who each received a coveted bottle of spiced rum.
The main event was the Saturday Talk Like a Pirate dinner and party. The food and party were great, and the Marin costumes stole the show—we were the best dressed pirates in the South Bay! The evening ended in dancing and a costume contest—won of course by our own Commodore, Jim.
Ahoy Maties - Marty Siegan, Bob Wheeler, and Noel Diefendorf
Sunday Morning broke out as another wonderful day—started by a surprise Sunday Chronicle in each cockpit, courtesy of CPYC. After Mother’s Milk (thanks to Noel and Bonnie) the fleet broke for a nice cruise back to reality.
Bob Wheeler, Cruise Chair
STAFF COMMODORES’
SPAGHETTI FEED
The Staff Commodore’s Spaghetti Feed got off to a rousing start on Friday, October 16th with Ann Laurence and her hard working crew consisting of Linda Doving, Lee Essayan, Joan Kurtz, and Susan Zerull assembling the meatballs, concocting the sauce and preparing the spaghetti for Saturday’s evening meal. At one point they even had Vice Commodore Elect Noel Diefendorf rotating hot pots of ingredients on and off the stove.
Saturday evening began with the bar opening at 5:30 ably attended by Daniel Koren, the Club’s bartender, along with Michelle Essayan to serve thirsty guests. The front door was attended by Julie Meyers and Lee Essayan who welcomed attendees, passed out raffle tickets for the large selection of door prizes garnered by Dana Schaberg and Susan Zerull and directed individuals to their respective tables. In lieu of live entertainment, CD recordings of Italian music provided a nice background. At the proper moment, our Emcee for the evening, Staff Commodore Paul Simmons, asked the group to be seated and shortly thereafter Staff Commodores Jim Aberer, Carl Clark, Val Clayton, Chuck Essayan, Ric Laurence, Paul Simmons, and Wib Tapscott., assisted by Bridge members Noel Diefendorf, Bob Schaberg and Marty Siegan, all dressed in white shirts and red aprons and sporting paper chef hats, delivered salad to the individual tables (where plates of antipasto had previously been served) to the tunes from the operetta “1492”. The meal of spaghetti, meatballs, sauce, fresh fruit and garlic bread was served buffet style by the Club’s Staff. Each table had a bottle of red and white wine that was donated by Harley and Dennis DeLano of DeLano Retail Partners.
At the conclusion of the meal followed by dessert, Susan Zerull drew the raffle tickets and presented prizes. All
enjoyed what turned out to be a delightful evening. I might also add that a great deal of credit should go to our hard working kitchen and wait staff who more than made the occasion a resounding success. Special thanks goes to the following for the raffle prizes: Bobby’s Café, San Rafael Joe’s, Western Boat and Tackle, MYC Ship’s Store, Pier 15 Restaurant, Winchester Mystery House, Massage Envy, Miche Bag/Purse, Jacuzzi Family Wines, Lee and Chuck Essayan, Marin Theater Company, and West Wind Yacht Management. Our grateful thanks for your generosity.

BONNIE DIEFENDORF,
SECOND PLACE NATIONWIDE
Bonnie and I have been involved in a particular type of boating contest for the last 7 or 8 years here in the San Francisco Bay Area with Predicted Log Racing Association of Northern California. It is called Predicted Log Racing. The premise is as follows: If you are given a course to run your boat, consisting of 5 or 6 legs or segments, how long do you predict it will take you to run that course at a given speed, at a given time, on a given day. You must take into account tides and wind. You cannot see real time or speed, only the tachometer for the engines and you can only vary the engines 10% of the RPM you declare you will be running at the start of the contest. An observer times each leg with a stopwatch and after the “race” you compare your prediction with the actual time it took to run each leg. The errors are in seconds and do NOT cancel from leg to leg, but accumulate. The result is expressed as a percentage error.In our area, we race between 12 and 15 miles and it usually takes about 2 hours or 7,200 seconds. On a good day we can have a total error of less than 100 seconds, or about 1%. Some days, we do better, like 0.5% really good, or 2.5% really bad.
Invitational. Vancouver, San Diego, San Francisco, Toledo, and St. Petersburg have been some of the locations for this contest. These are the top racers in the country, men and women who consistently finish with, say, 1.5% or less error in all their races that year. This year the race was held in Puget Sound with the Queen City Yacht Club and the Seattle Yacht Club helping host the event. What a setting. We drove up with our camper and “roughed it” by staying in an R.V. park nearby. Most others flew in and did the hotel and rental car routine.
One of the highlights of the NAI is the boat draw. It is done to ensure no one has a boat they have ever raced on before. Local boats are “donated” for the event. The owners take them in and out of their slips and remain aboard while the racers and their drivers, tacticians, and any other helpers they think they might need go run the race. The next day we all go out and figure out a speed to race. Remember earlier I mentioned you cannot see speed or time, so you MUST know how fast the boat runs at your published RPM, how much does it slow down in a 45 degree turn, a 90 degree turn, a 20 kn. headwind. Bonnie drew a beautiful 55 foot Californian motor yacht, owned by Lynn and Kathy Montgomery. This boat ran like it was on rails, very consistent and predictable, no pun intended. This made my job as driver less difficult than some other boats we have drawn. She decided on 9.5 Kn. at 1620 RPM. + or – 10%. That 10% translated to about 0.4 kn. Significant.
Once that was done, she, and all the other racers, disappeared to fine tune their predictions and turn times. Saturday was race day. Spectacular, was the term I heard used often for the weather we were treated to for the race. Crystal clear, warm, calm wind and seas, ideal weather for our racing. The course was 35 miles and circumnavigated Bainbridge Island just west of Seattle.
Bonnie predicted 13,380 seconds to finish this race. There were many variables, timed runs, blind points, too much to explain in this article, but trust me, the race was challenging and well thought out, to bring out the best in the contestants. As a further challenge, each racer had to arrange his or her start time to get the boat across the finish line at the same time as all the rest of the boats. They all run at different speeds, being spread out all along the course until the end, when 14 big power boats are running neck and neck, hell bent for election at the finish. There is no question of right of way, everyone moves over for this mass. It was a thrill.
We knew Bonnie had done well, but would not know until that night at the awards dinner, how well she had done. The “peel off” or results are done leg by leg with different racers moving from 1st to 2nd or 3rd to 10th or 5th to 1st during the course of this. It is tense. The first 3 legs were announced, then we broke for dinner. At the end of the 3rd leg, Bonnie was in 1st place. Everyone got to contemplate that while they ate. However, we knew something most other racers didn’t, and that was Bonnie’s bad leg. She predicted less current than we got and got a 50 second error in leg 5. For this contest, with these competitors, we thought it would be a serious error. It was. Gary Adalian of San Diego won with an error of 0.72%, beating Bonnie by just a few seconds.
Bonnie’s total error of 151 seconds got her a very close second place with a 0.79% error. It was a most satisfying “almost win” getting Bonnie a personal best score for her predicted log racing career, at the national championship, no less.
We had a lovely 2 day trip home, basking in the 2nd place finish in the NAI, held in some of the most scenic and challenging waterways anywhere. We like Predicted Log Racing for the many skills it teaches us about boat handling, navigation, current and tide
conditions. It has made us better boaters. Further, the knowledge we have gained has helped us in teaching safe boating.
Ted Paul of Marin Yacht Club used to be an avid Predicted Log Racer. His trophy is in our trophy case. Though Ted has passed, his wife, Dot, is still a member of Marin Yacht Club.
