We had a very busy month, a nice turn out for the Blue water cruise seminar, a few stayed for the International dinner.

The new shed is not a head banger!

We got international mention on ACWS broadcast.

There is a group that is planning on sailing to Half Moon Bay, and will carpool back for the rib-feed on Saturday.

A Look Into The Past (Dec 2001 – Aug. 2012) A Short History of Treasure Island Yacht Club

TIYC was formed as the Treasure Island Sailing Club in January, 1996 as a branch of the United States Naval Sailing Association. The membership at that time was comprised entirely of Active Duty, Retired and Reserve Uniformed Services Members. Its military character allowed it to be sponsored on the U.S. Naval Station Treasure Island by the Morale, Welfare & Recreation Department (MWR). On March 12, 1985 I incorporated TIYC in the State of California.

TIYC volunteers contributed thousands of hours each year to the benefit of the Treasure Island Naval Station and the Naval Sailing Association programs. These volunteers assisted in the maintenance of the MWR’s rental and charter sailing fleet, conducting sail training for service members and their dependents, as well as conducting a Junior Sailing Program, and participating in Navy wide, Regional and Local Sail Racing events.

TIYC conducted weekly Friday night Regattas for active duty and retired per-sonnel. TIYC campaigned the Rhodes 19 Fleet for the Navy in the annual Nimitz Sports Competition, the Olympic Club/St. Francis Yacht Club vs. The U.S. Pacific Fleet in Team Racing competition at Clipper Cove.

House Improvements: The replacement storage shed was delivered and erected thanks to the House Committee and volunteers (Don, Jim, Ray, Pete, John, Bill, George and others). It has some new metal shelves to help us stay organized. The flag pole (mast) was repaired and halyards rigged. We obtained an America's Cup flag which was flown during the ACWS, thanks to Reg who did the last minute running around to pick it up. A group of our members was able to tour the America's Cup International Broadcast Compound and got to meet Gary Jobson (commentator and president of US Sailing). He autographed his 1987 book on sailing for the club and men-

tioned Treasure Island Yacht Club during the Saturday broadcast of the ACWS races.

Russ and Rich have been invited back to work logging and clipping for ACTV in October; with this opportunity Rich will have his son do the Pig Roast and will be looking for assistance from the membership. During the September 15 Dragon Boat Races we will have a Pirate Burger

dinner.

Here are some of the other things that have happened around the club

We had an America's Cup dinner on August 25th. There was a Seaworthy and Blue Water workshop on 8/4 facilitated by Rich Holden. We are talking with him about other courses. TIYC made our facility available to the US Sailing investigating committee to meet before they made their presentation to USCG Sector

San Francisco and Family Members of those killed during the Low Speed Chase tragedy.

A new members dinner was held on August 11th where we were joined by two of our members from Colorado (Dayton Chapin and Michael Condon). Comcast installed a cable box so that we could receive Comcast SportsNet California and see the ACWS broadcast in the club. Bill Smith opened the club to make this happen. However we needed to add a switch to enable us to go back to the regular digital channels and Pete picked up the necessary equipment. An instruction sheet is needed to make this easy for our club members.

We have a cruise in next weekend (September 1st) and Rich is doing his Rib Feed. Reservations are needed ASAP.

Urgent Repairs Are Needed! The two front entry doors have severe dry rot behind the kick plates and are starting to fall apart. Immediate reme-dial action is needed (repair or replacement). This has been referred to the House Committee and they indicate that repair work is in progress.

Vice Commodore’s Message

America’s Cup 34, San Francisco, California

America’s Cup World Series, AC-45’s will be conducted during Fleet Week in October of this year. I speculate that the “Blues” will perform following the daily races. The joining of these two major attractions will require super planning and coordination. Expect gridlock on Land and Bay, In any case there will be tremendous TV and news coverage...more info later….

With 61 points going into the final, Spithill's team found themselves in an intense battle of speed and wits with Team Korea, skippered by 26-year-old 49er and Moth champion Nathan Outteridge. As the two cats rounded the final mark, Spithill's boat had a slight overlap on Outteridge's stern. When Team Korea drew a 'slow-down' penalty, Spithill slipped from third to sec-ond place — behind Luna Rossa Piranha — which was just enough to capture the fleet racing and event cham-pionship. Spithill's Oracle Team USA finished with 86 points over Piranha's 85.

By all accounts, the week's events were a great success, with huge crowds of spectators turning out both along the shore and on the water. It's estimated that more than 150,000 enthusiasts visited the AC Village at Marina Green. “The response from the public has exceeded our expectations,” said Stephen Barclay, the CEO of the 34th Amer-ica’s Cup. “It’s simply been wonderful for everyone involved.” Geo Knies

H ow best to view the America's Cup was a sub-theme of our quest to enjoy the first of the spectacular San Francisco AC trials. Each day we explored different viewing alternatives. On Day 1 we set forth in

our own catamaran. With ample rations and good friends aboard, we joined the spectator fleet lined up on the north-west side of the course. No commuting problems and a lot of fun for our guests; but our skipper was preoccupied with jockeying for position amongst other boats and the view of the AC action was a bit too remote.

Day 2 and Day 3, we arrived about 2 hours early and set up camp, again with ample provisions, on the rocky peninsula between the Golden Gate Yacht Club and the finish line flag at the end of the point. With a hand-held marine VHF radio (tuned to Channel 20), stools, lunch and layers of warm clothing, we had fabulous front-seat views of the action. The racing AC catamarans at times jibed, tacked or ran within yards of us on their mad dash to out-maneuver and beat their opponent to the finish line. On Day 4, we found that: purchasing tickets to reserve a view on the bleachers near the St Francis YC was a bit disappointing since the ticketed bleachers were positioned opposite the start boats about one third of the way down from the NW end of the course so one only got a good view of half the race.

Furthermore, the same or better views could be had for free along the breakwater. On Day 5 with the week-enders swelling the crowds on the marina, we retreated to the top floor of an old Victorian home on Pacific Heights above the race course. There in the comfort of the living room, supplied with drinks and appetizers, we witnessed the whole scene below out the bay view window with binoculars and simultaneously on a large TV screen complete with commentary. Very civilized but minus the raw energy of the on-site crowds. The final races on Day 6, the finals were the most exciting. Not only were we treated to glorious weather, lots of wind and races tightly fought and won; we also scored complementary passes to the media center where we watched from a spacious balcony overlooking the whole course (courtesy of an unnamed member of TIYC who worked fever-ishly below in the maze of technical wizardry that supplied the nation ….Jan & Mal Johnston, new TIYC members

Rear Commodore’s Report

Atta Pilram

I have been trying to incorporate members’ ideas and suggestions for new activities. One of the more successful programs has been Friday Sailing. Steve Lane, one of our new members, initiated the program, and others have joined in. It is a fun sailing pro-

gram and we would love to have more members to join us.

September is lining-up as a busy month with several events and a tentative open water sailing adven-ture. This year we were committed to pull off our first Blue Water cruise-out event. The idea has picked up momentum with several suggestions for destinations but we finally decided on Half Moon Bay. It is tentatively planned for the Labor Day weekend on Friday August 31st through September 2nd. In preparation for this event, Rich Holden conducted our first Sea Worthy and Safety workshop at TIYC on August 4th. It was a very informative workshop with several old and new members, including a new applicant.

The year we decided to move our annual Delta Cruise out from August to September - cruising to Devil’ Isle on September 21st to September 26 with Rich Holden as the cruise leader and Port Captain for Devil’s Isle.

This year we have had several ideas for tentative blacktop events including a tour of Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Control, visit to USS Hornet, a Wine Tasting event and a nature discovery walk of Yerba Buena Island. However, due to conflicting schedule with other activities we have not been able to pin-point a date. Hopefully we can schedule them for October or November. I was able to schedule a visit a Pt. Bonita Lighthouse and a walking tour of Farallones Marine Sanctuary on August 18th.

I am working on several new ideas for October, November and December including our first Art and Craft exhibit at TIYC, Members-Cruise-in, Jazz Dinner and other events. Please call or email me your suggestions for sailing and other ideas.

TREASURE ISLAND YACHT CLUB CHIT FILLING OUT THE FORMTREASURE ISLAND YACHT CLUB CHIT FILLING OUT THE FORMTREASURE ISLAND YACHT CLUB CHIT FILLING OUT THE FORMTREASURE ISLAND YACHT CLUB CHIT FILLING OUT THE FORM The Sales Chit is to be used in lieu of cash or a check at the clubhouse. It was originally intended to be used for Honor Bar Sales but also now can be used for clothing or event charges. If it is used for other than bar sales, then the item must be listed on it. The date must be included (and the event if it is from that) as well as the printed name along with the actual signature. At the bottom of the Chit are two boxes: Money Enclosed/Attached and the other Bill Me. One of these boxes must be checked. If payment is made the day of the event, then it should be so noted by checking Money Enclosed/Attached (and if by check, the check number should also be included). This Chit whether it is with Money Enclosed/Attached or Bill Me should be included in with the monies from the event along with the sign up sheet for proper recording in our accounts’ ledger. Bar and event accounting are tallied separately. If a member has an evening Chit and the member wishes to settle payment on the Chit the same evening, the Chit must be paid prior to the accounting settlement of event. The Chit settlement cannot be made for events in the bar accounting once the event accounting envelope is sealed Any unpaid Chits in the event and/or bar envelope is sealed will be billed to the member. If a Chit is used for billing or with included payment, then that Chit should be listed with the person’s name on the sign up sheet. The above procedure ensures that the billing or payment made using the Chit

will be processed correctly. Thank you all for your help in this. Fred W Gibson TIYC Treasurer

What is the proper way to fly flags on a gaff-rigged pole?" That is

probably the most frequently asked question received by the USPS

Flag & Etiquette Committee. Gaff-rigged poles are used by navies,

boaters and yacht clubs around the world. Onshore, the "yacht club

style flagpole" with a gaff represents the mast of a ship. A gaff-rigged

pole may, or may not, have a yardarm or crosstree. A gaff-rigged pole

with a yardarm is illustrated on the right flying a yacht club burgee and

an officer flag.

Many people are confused about the proper way to fly the national

ensign from a gaff-rigged pole. As depicted in the drawing on the right,

the national ensign should be flown from the gaff and the club or or-

ganization burgee should be flown at the masthead.

The gaff-rigged pole had its origins at sea. Because of all the sail car-

ried by the rigging of these vessels, the flag of a nation could not be

clearly viewed if it was placed at the top of the mast. The stern of the

vessel was the position of command and the captain's quarters were

located aft. Early boats also had the nobleman's banner, king's ban-

ner, or English ensign staff fixed to the stern rail. As sails changed,

long booms sweep across the stern rail every time the ship tacked, so

the ensign staff had to be removed when the ship was under way.

Since the captain and other officers were still aft, the nearest position

from which they found it practical to fly the ensign was the gaff. Over

time, this became the place of honor to display the national flag. When

the ship was moored, the ensign staff was set up again on the stern

rail.

This was the practice in the eighteenth century, when the U.S. Navy

was created. Now that warships are made of steel and the signal mast

no longer carries a boom, our navy still flies the ensign at the gaff

peak when under way and at the ensign staff when not underway.

There is no law specifying how a flag should fly on a gaff-rigged pole,

instead it is based on long standing nautical tradition.

The usual argument given by those that think it is wrong to fly the na-

tional ensign from the gaff is that the national ensign is flying below a

club burgee or other flag contrary to the Flag Code. Notice that even

when the national ensign is flown from the stern of a ship, it is lower in

height than other flags flying on the ship. When the ensign is flown

from a gaff-rigged pole, a flag flown at the top of the mast is not con-

sidered above the ensign because it is not being flown directly above

the ensign on the same halyard.

The ensign should be flown from the highest point of honor, and over

time, that has become the peak of the gaff. Flying the national ensign

from the top of the mast while flying another flag at the gaff would be

flying another flag in a position of superior honor since the peak of the

gaff is the highest point of honor.

. "The gaff of a yacht-club-type flagpole is the highest point of honor,

as is the gaff of the gaff-rigged vessel it simulates. The U.S. ensign

alone is flown there. Although another flag may appear higher (at the

truck of the mast), no flag is ever flown above the national ensign on

the same halyard (except the worship pennant on naval ships). The

United States national ensign should be displayed

1. at the gaff of a mast or pole having a gaff

2. at the masthead of a mast with no gaff

3. at its own far right—the viewer's left—among multiple

poles of equal height

4. at the masthead of the highest pole if one of the poles is

taller than the others."

Finally, the tradition of flying the national ensign from the gaff is used

by the U.S. Navy. Paragraph 801 (b), "Display of the National Ensign

at U.S. Naval Shore Activities", in the Naval Telecommunications Pro-

cedures document, Flags, Pennants & Customs, NTP 13(B), states

the following on where to fly the national ensign:

"Display of the national ensign from various flagpole configu-

rations is explained herein. The right side of a flagpole is de-

termined by looking from the main entrance of the headquar-

ters building to the pole

(1) Polemast - Flown from the peak. If peak is equipped with

two halyards, flown from right side...

(2) Polemast with Crosstree - flown at peak of pole...

(3) Polemast with Gaff - Flown at peak of gaff...

(4) Polemast with Crosstree and Gaff - This is commonly

called a "yacht club mast". Displayed from the gaff. ©

Boating Fatalities at Highest Level since 1998

W ASHINGTON, D. C., May 16, 2012 -Total boating fatalities last year rose to 758, the highest num-ber on record since 1998, according to the U.S. Coast Guard's official 2011 Recreational Boating Statistics released today. From 2010 to 2011, total reported accidents decreased less than one

percent from 4,604 to 4,588, deaths increased 12.8 percent from 672 to 758 and injuries decreased 2.3 per-cent from 3,153 to 3,081. Property damage totaled approximately $52 million. The fatality rate measured 6.2 deaths per 100,000 registered recreational vessels, a 14.8 percent increase from last year's rate of 5.4 deaths per 100,000 registered recreational vessels.

Operator inattention, improper lookout, operator inexperience, excessive speed and machinery failure ranked as the top five primary contributing factors in accidents. Alcohol use was the leading contributing fac-tor in fatal boating accidents; it was listed as the leading factor in 16 percent of the deaths. Seventy percent of all fatal boating accident victims drowned, and of those, 84 percent were not reported as wearing a life jacket. Only 11 percent of deaths occurred on vessels where the operator had received boating safety in-struction. Says Kelly Townsend, Director of the Vessel Examination and Partner Visitation Department (DIR-V), "These are sobering statistics. I would encourage all members to read the entire report, and vessel ex-aminers to use them in educational exchanges with boaters when performing VSCs." The report is pub-lished annually by the U.S. Coast Guard's Boating Safety Division. Source: [Kelly Townsend, DIR-V]

Marine Update, August 2012 — George C. Knies

FLEET WEEK SAN FRANCISCO IS SCHEDULED FOR THURSDAY OCT. 4 THROUGH SUNDAY OCT. 7, 2012

District from 1987 through 1993. TIYC also represented the Treasure Island Naval Station in this competi-tion against Naval Air Station (NAS) Moffet Field, NAS Alameda, NAS Fallon, NAS Lemore, Naval Shipyard Mare Island, Coast Guard Station Alameda and teams from various Naval Vessels. In addition to these events, TIYC conducted monthly Club Races, spring through fall for more than 15 years. The club has sponsored many Regional and National Small Boat Racing Association events as well as San Francisco Yacht Racing Association and Inter-club Association Regattas.

TIYC has been a long-standing member of the PICYA and during it’s tenure at the Naval Station sponsored many PICYA meetings and other events at the “Admiral Nimitz Officers Club” and later at the “Admiral Nimitz Conference Center.”

TIYC moved back to Treasure Island in 2001, after years of negotiations with the myriad of agencies and bureaus representing the City of San Francisco. Unfortunately we were unable to retrieve our original club-house, but obtained the adjacent building that had been our sail locker and engine shop. With the tireless efforts of many members and a substantial amount of capital we were able to transform “the shack” into an impressive clubhouse that gives us a home until the marina is rebuilt and we can occupy our permanent Club facilities.

Our location at Clipper Cove makes TIYC one of the favored Cruise-in destinations in the region. We have always been a good neighbor to the Boating Community of the San Francisco Bay and Delta region. We intend to increase our boating community activities and status as an active member of the PICYA, Yacht Racing Association of San Francisco Bay, International Order of the Blue Gavel and U.S. Sailing Associa-tion.

We have survived the tumultuous transition of Treasure Island due to the dedication of time and money of our many loyal members N we are currently experiencing an influx of new members who are eager to con-tinue our past traditions of hospitality and service within our international boating community.

Our current facilities grace one of the choice locations in the Bay Area, making it a favorite port for transient club cruise-ins, and as usual any and all reciprocal clubs and members are most welcome to view the fog coming through the Golden Gate and hoisting a few cool-ones at our “Lighthouse Bar.”
