*VICE COMMODORE’S REPORT:
When I started this year I had high hopes that there would be little maintenance
to be done since it appeared that with a few exceptions we were in good shape.
While there were no catastrophic failures, enough items failed or broke to make
it a very interesting summer. Some of the most notable items were: the Fast
Launch, the hardware on the face docks, the Fast Launch, the windows in the
Whalesback Room, the Fast Launch, the up river windows on the ground floor of
the clubhouse, the Fast Launch, the Clubhouse settling on the up river side,
pier evaluation and moorings. When it came time to hire the Staff for the
season, it became apparent that many of the experienced dock staff who indicated
that they would come back were not available. I might note that one ended up
working for the Commodore at PSNH. So we started the season with Chris Kinneavy,
as Dockmaster, Ashley Burgess and Kyle Morton as our only experienced staff.
Items that were completed during the year were: Four open slips were assigned to
Captains Bicknell, Gray, Weaver, and Williams.
House and Dock Rules were revised to provide clarification of:
a. Parking rules
b. Use of Club moorings
c. Responsibility of members when the clubhouse is used after hours
The windows in the Whalesback Room were replaced.
P/C Burgess and Captain Gailey replaced the cabinets in the Dock house to create
a better working area.
The Fast Launch was hauled twice to fix the rudder packing and to replace the
cutlass bearing which had ripped out of the shaft housing. The second time was
to rebond the rudder skeg which was loose. Additionally the steering was fixed
and a broken oil line to the turbocharger was replaced. This launch was out of
service more than three weeks during the season.
I want to thank Captain Dick Yeaton for providing his Boston Whaler as a backup
fast launch. I also want to thank the launch search committee of Captains Gordon
Chambers, Paul Goldberg, and Steve Jefferson for their investigation and search
for a new Fast Launch. The fact that they were able to obtain a trade in value
of ten thousand dollars for the old fast launch I think is outstanding.
I would also like to thank Captain Steve Jefferson for fixing the steering cable
on the slow launch when we were in danger of not having any launch one evening
since the fast launch also had a problem.
The windows for the up river side of the clubhouse are on order and will be
replaced in the spring after the up river side of the clubhouse is adjusted.
Two marine engineering firms have looked at our pier and indicated that it needs
significant repairs. A committee on the Board of Directors consisting of
Captains Dick Blidberg, Paul Goldberg, Bill Rushforth, and Ken Jones has been
formed to evaluate the recommendations and determine what path the club should
take in repairing the pier. I am pursuing obtaining a permit to replace pilings
as needed since a permit is good for five years.
After numerous attempts to get all of the moorings up and functional, I can
report that all moorings are up including one that we had at the Isle of Shoals
that has never been up. With the knowledge that all of the blocks are in place
the task will not be so difficult next year. Thanks to Captain John Carson for
enduring numerous phone calls from me requesting status and to Captain Rob
Landkamer for taking me to every mooring Tuesday so that I could get a good GPS
position for each mooring. Thanks also to Commodore Mike Coffey for helping to
make mooring barrels.
The docks, particularly the face docks, had a much higher failure rate than I
expected. The hardware on one failed soon after docks in and that one was
disconnected and moved in and repaired under the supervision of Captain John
Gailey. Two others failed late in the season and temporary repairs were made
until they could be permanently repaired after docks out.
Because there were so many face docks to be repaired three docks were beached so
that they could be repaired under the guidance of Captain John Gailey and P/C
Mal Burgess with help from several club members. As a result, repairs to these
three docks have been completed, this will enable us to make repairs to the
other docks that need work. This was an outstanding effort by all concerned.
Captain Ken Jones at my request has been investigating to see if there is other
hardware or dock floatation that would be more durable and as a result as cost
effective as the materials that we are currently using. The investigation will
continue until the facts can be determined on what is the best path to pursue in
future dock repairs.
The Staff was courteous, helpful and presented a positive image for the club.
Their professionalism was noted by several visiting yachtsmen, as well as many
club members. There is some indication that many of them want to come back next
year.
There were several other items that I wanted to accomplish during the year but
did not get accomplished. The most significant is that I wanted to get the
handrails replaced in the bathrooms, however, the handrails were replaced in the
women’s bathroom today. The men’s will be done before the club opens next year.
Also, I wanted to repair the Flagpole and that will be done this winter.
I want to thank the many people who worked at the work parties, Docks In and did
things throughout the year to make our club a better place for all of us. I want
to specifically thank the following individuals:
House and Dock Committee Members
P/C Art Wright Capt. John Gailey
P/C George Kinser R/C Thomas Young
Capt. Gordon Chambers Capt. Frederick P. Vogel
Capt. Charles Clark Capt. Ken Jones
Capt Robert L. Landkamer Capt. Steve Jefferson
Capt. Brian Wazlaw
Member emeritus P\C Mal Burgess
Mooring Committee Members
Capt. John J. Carson Capt. William C. Rushforth
As reported earlier, Capt. Tony Young was always available when work parties
needed to be fed.
P/C's Art Wright and P/C Addison Marvin who make sure that the dock sequence and
placement in the parking lot is correct for Docks In and Out.
P/C Kinser for repairing the ceiling in the stairwell.
Capt Gordon Chambers for getting the awning installed in the Grill area.
Capt. Dick Blidberg for his work on the Club sound system.
P/C Carol Marvin who helped keep the Galley shipshape.
My wife Peggy who did the flower boxes around the deck and with the advice of
Betty Gailey did the flowers along the fence. She also made sure that I kept a
somewhat level head most of the summer.
I know that I probably missed someone and it certainly was not intentional since
I really appreciated all of the help that was willingly offered to me during the
year.
Commodore Mike Coffey who took my many calls and never let me know that I really
should have known what I asked him. It was a real pleasure serving as his Vice
Commodore.
V/C Scott announcement that Docks Out is this Saturday the 19th of October.
Docks should start coming out at about 0900. There will be a potluck after all
the Docks are out at about 1200. Thank you, this completes my report.
( a round of applause was given by the membership)
There being no further questions or discussion Capt. Carson moved to accept the
report as given, seconded, and so voted.

*Northern Cruise:
P/C Roth reported that on July 28th six PYC boats and one guest boat from the
Norwalk Yacht Club departed Rockland Harbor bound for Passamaquoddy Bay and the
wilds of Canada.
Participants were:
Blair & Jan Mccracken and their guests Bob & Mavis Wilson from Great Britain on
September Morn.
Bjorn Reister & Laurel Bavendam on Merlot.
Ian & Linda Watters on Toucan.
Wally Mallet & Sandra Bisset on Wild Heart.
Bob Baime & John Pearson on Moonfleet.
Russ & Marty Roth on Skiya.
Sawyer & Elaine Marks on Ariane -( our guests from NYC.)
This was a cruise of firsts for many of us:
The first time east of the familiar and safe cruising grounds of Blue Hill and
Penobscot Bay.
The first time dealing with the Bay of Fundy currents and fog.
The first time many of us have had to clear customs with our boats in a foreign
port.
The first time anchoring with a 24 foot tidal rise.
All of the cruisers managed the challenges and had a great deal of fun doing so.
While in Passamaquoddy Bay we visited Campobello and toured the Roosevelt summer
home and International Park.
All enjoyed their two days in St. Andrews Harbor, where they were welcomed by
the "Wharfinger" B. B. Chamberlain as we entered the harbor. Each of the boats
was escorted to our mooring and handed a mooring pendant.
We spent our last night in Canada in the remote achorage of Northwest Harbor and
returned back to the United States the next day clearing custums in Cutler
Harbor.
High point's of the trip were the friendly and helpful people od Canada, the
overwhelmingly beautiful scenery and the bonds of friendship formed among the
cruise participants.
Next season we will once again return to Canada. This time our goal will be the
St. John River. We will spend five days on the river and visit Grand Manan on
the return. The fleet will be limited to eight boats due to the size of some of
the anchorages. Those interested should sign up now.
Southern Cruise:
Capt. P. Young began his report by commenting on the comradeship which developed
during the cruise. Nine boats participated this year on the southern summer
cruise and it was a huge success.
Five were power boats and four sailboats all enjoyed the harbors of Cape Cod. He
mused that for the sail boats it was great to have the power boats leading the
way to the anchorages securing the needed space for the sail boats when they
arrived not to mention the space aboard the power boats for relaxation.
The cruise went well with only one day of gale wind proportion. Bjong Reiseter
and Laurel received the Seamanship award for sailing through the gale to catch
up with the fleet at anchor. The sailboat Reprise earned the Purple Piloting
award by going aground five times in arriving at an anchorage (Capt. P. Young
did not elaborate further on this incident).
The most enjoyed port of call was Newport RI., the enjoyed island was Block
Island, RI. However at the marina at Block island the boats were rafted four
deep at the dock which made for a noisy night as people move back and forth from
boat to boat. Boston MA. was also a pleasurable stop for those that stopped to
watch the holiday fireworks.
Next year the cruise is planned to cruise Penobscot Bay with the cruise starting
from Rockland ME. where a number of PYC members maintain moorings. Capt. Young
encourge all to participate next year.
(The membership thank him with a round of applause.)
Cmde. Coffey thanked both P/C Roth and Capt. P. Young for their efforts in
putting the cruise itineraries together and acting as Cruise Leaders.
*Vision Committee Report:
The Vision Committee met three times during the past year.
Initial efforts involved extensive analysis and consideration of the Vision
Survey returns to better understand the direction the membership wants the Club
to take in future years and to prioritize issues that need attention.
The need for a long term Capital Maintenance Plan and Budget was apparent. Your
Board has initiated work on this. The Vision Committee is committed to
supporting the effort.
We then turned our attention to developing a Vision Statement for PYC. It soon
became evident that several issues must be addressed before we can realistically
develop a vision for the Club’s future.
Accordingly, the Committee decided to evolve its mode of operation as follows:
From a strategic perspective, the Committee will, on a long-term basis, continue
to address PYC’s future. To this end, we will work toward formulating a Vision
Statement at some point. We will continue to seek and record members’ inputs.
Surveys and polls will be conducted from time to time but your inputs and
suggestions are welcome any time.
On the other hand, several issues have been highlighted which should be
addressed in the short term. Some of these negatively impact the Club members’
satisfaction and our traditional mode of operation. The Committee has offered to
operate as a resource of your Board to address selected issues on a priority
basis.
In this context, the Board has agreed with the Committee’s recommendation that
the issue of parking should be pursued aggressively. Accordingly, at the Board’s
request the Vision Committee has begun to seek alternative parking venues that
fit in with (or at least facilitate) our current mode of operation.
In closing, I’d like to thank the Committee Members for their efforts and
support this past year and for their willingness to continue:
Roy Alonzo Bob Baime P/C Mal Burgess P/C Andy Courteau Paul Goldberg
P/C George Kinser Ken Roberts V/C Jon Scott Paul Young John Carson
