We will depart from the SYC dock, then cruise the shores of Tiburon, Belvedere and the canals of Strawberry. The tides are perfect for an intimate view of areas normally too shallow to navigate.

Gas Light is a replica scow schooner based in Sausalito. This opportunity may be the last for a while as Billy Martinelli, owner and builder, is sailing her to Mexico this fall. We will have Leslie’s famous cuisine and complimentary wine.

Cruise is limited to the first 45 people. Cost is $75. E-mail gm@sausalitoyachtclub.org.

All donations go to the Sausalito Youth Sailing Foundation.

You can find more information about Gas Light at Gas Light Charters.

At least ninety (90) days prior to the November meeting of the Flag Officers and Chairs, the Secretary will remind the membership via the Club newsletter and via postings on the website and in the Club House of the need for an incoming Nominating Committee. Members interested in serving on the Nominating Committee shall come forward and advise the Secretary, in writing, of their desire to serve on the incoming Nominating Committee. The Secretary will report all such communications to the Flag Officers and Chairs and to the Executive Board. Interested members in good standing will be placed on the ballot and stand for election to the Nominating Committee at the Annual Meeting.

July-August 2010 Squeegee

Sausalito residents will be issued a new resident card to use at the pay station to obtain their limited, free parking. Residents have been mailed temporary hang tags until the new cards are issued.

How it Affects SYC

SYC members will be able to park free in the SYC members-only parking lot. Members should be sure to display their SYC parking sticker on their vehicle(s). Out of courtesy to out-of-town members, local resident members should use the main parking lot, and display their hang tag on their vehicle to obtain their limited, free parking time.

NOTICES:

1)  Vehicles parked in the the SYC parking lot WITHOUT a SYC parking sticker WILL BE TICKETED.

2)  Non-Resident Members: If you park outside of the SYC members-only lot, you will be required to pay for the parking spot at the pay station. If you don’t, you will be ticketed.

The New System

Each parking space in the public lots is assigned a space number. A sensor is embedded in each space, sensing when a vehicle pulls into the space. The sensor wirelessly informs the pay station that a vehicle has pulled in, and the software then allows 5 minutes for the customer to pre-pay for parking.

Residents can park free for up to three hours in city lots. Residents, commuters, merchants and permit holders will eventually be issued SmartCards in place of prox cards and permits (currently not expected for 90 days). In the interim, residents should have received a special hang tag in the mail. If you did not get one, you should go to the parking booth near Lot #2 with a government issued ID and rent or service receipt proving residency.

The new parking payment machines (blue and marked with a large “P”) will take credit cards, debit cards and coins. Soon you’ll even be able to extend your parking time from your smart phone, but that part of the service has not yet been activated.

RESIDENTS

Residents may continue to park for free for up to 3 consecutive hours every day between the hours of 8am and 6pm. YOUR HANG-TAG MUST BE DISPLAYED to receive free parking or you will be cited. If you are staying longer than 3 hours, you may buy more time at any pay station by entering your space number and then paying by coin or credit/debit card.  YOU WILL NO LONGER BE BILLED QUARTERLY FOR OVERAGES.

After 6pm, residents receive unlimited free parking until 8am the following morning.  YOUR HANG-TAG MUST BE DISPLAYED to receive free parking or you will be cited.

What Are The Hours Of The Lots?

Below are the hours and rates for the lots. You MUST display your hang-tag or pay for parking during these hours:

Application Form: 2010 Buddy Cup Application (print and mail)

Way, way long ago, 2002 to be exact, Buddy DeBruyn served as our Commodore. Buddy had previously been our Sausalito Mayor. He also happens to be a very good golfer, and that year was the birth of the “SYC BUDDY CUP.”

This is a tournament for all levels of players. It’s a tournament for fun and camaraderie, but alas there are always those great golfers who think they need to win. So be it – there will always be a winner. But to even things out a little we will be golfing a “Blind Bogey.” That means that on three or four holes of play, those holes will be a bogey hole for everyone. We will have prizes for men’s and women’s closest-to-the-hole and longest drives. We will play a “Best Ball” format in which each player must be accountable for at least two drives and you play the best of the foursome’s drives.

This year we will be playing at the Indian Valley Golf Course. It’s a beautiful course nestled in southern Novato where there are times one must wait for the wild turkeys and the wild deer to clear the fairway.

The starting Tee time will be 10:30. We will have oysters at the turn and a roving beverage cart on the course to quench one’s thirst. Following the tournament we will have the “AWARDS HOEDOWN DINNER” at the club around 6:00, with BBQ’d ribs and chicken with all the Texas side dishes where we will also be watching the film of the day’s festivities.

Please look online and in your August and September billing for the registration forms (also at the top of this page). We will need a head count by September 15th for the tournament director.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail me.
