Vice-Commodore’s Column:
Our History and Our Future
Is it Fall already? Heck, we were
just becoming used to the
wonderful summer weather we’ve
had in the Pacific Northwest! Well,
Fall does bring nice weather still
and even better it brings us to our
second PTYC meeting following the
summer meeting hiatus. The
October 14th meeting will be
special for those members who have joined in recent years and
really have not had the opportunity to learn about the history of the
Port Townsend Yacht Club, especially from the folks who brought it
into being, built the clubhouse and nurtured it through the years.
That being said, be sure to be on hand when Past Commodores
Carl Sidle and Jim “Daubie” Daubenberger will review PTYC’s
history first hand. We owe these guys a lot due to their hard work
and willingness to step up when necessary for the good of the club.
Speaking of new members, the lifeline for the future of the club, a
quick review of the procedures set forth on page 18 of your copy of
the “Roster” book for 2014might be helpful in recruiting (see Page 5).
Thanks are in order to September’s Watch Captains Fred and Ilona
Bell and their crew Kathy and Chelcie Liu, Val Thurston and the
many members staying after the meeting to help with clean-up.
Thanks to Michael Machette for organizing the T-37 Demonstration
Race at Point Hudson for RC enthusiasts and spectators alike.
Thanks to Phil and Katie Habegger for their presentation on “Sailing
South of the Border”.
(continues on P. 5)
Reminder:
Board Meetings are always open to any member.
This is your Yacht Club and we hope to see you there.

RBAW REPORT
WA State Parks Funding Dilemma
At the September meeting of the Recreational Boating Association of
Washington (RBAW), Daniel Farber, the legislative liaison from the WA
State Department of Parks and Recreation outlined the decline in state
funding for running and maintaining our state parks. Creative funding
sources are being considered to make up an increasing deficit in state
funding. Presently, only 14% of WA state residents are buying the
Discover Pass which was designed to help fund State Parks. About 20%
of people renewing vehicle registrations are giving an additional $5
towards State Park funding. Still because of taxes decreasing statewide,
funding for State Parks out of the state’s General Fund has dropped from a high in the 2007-09
budget of $94.5 million to this year’s budget of $20 million with an expectation that it will continually
decline in years to come. The Parks Department has lost 1/3 of their permanent personnel so fees
at marine parks are not being aggressively enforced and collected.
RBAW delegates and directors pointed out that people with boats over 16 feet are already paying
the Watercraft Excise Tax, (personal property tax) which is imposed only on boats and not on any
other type of recreational vehicle, and that most of that money is not being redirected towards the
support of the marine parks. Instead it is going into the General Fund. Farber agreed saying that
only 1/50 of 1% of the Watercraft Excise Taxes are coming back to the Parks department. Right
now those taxes amount to about $35 million in the present budget with little expectation that the
legislature will redirect more to Parks.
Possible new Parks funding sources being considered are: 1. Adding the Discover Pass option to
buyers of “new vehicles”, 2. Applying the Watercraft Excise Tax to owners of recreational vehicles
ie. also users of our state parks 3. Add $5 to vehicle registration fees 4. Divert more Watercraft
Excise Tax to Parks.
RBAW to Take Lead on Protecting Boater’s Privacy
Recently the WA State Department of Licensing came forward and admitted it was overstepping its
authority in not keeping vessel owner’s records private as is provided by law for vehicle registration
privacy. This means that currently a third party may request title or
registration information on our boats from the DOL and receive it. In order to
put forward a bill to fill this loophole, RBAW voted to take the lead in finding a
legislative sponsor to carry the bill. DOL, National Marine Trades Association
and the Northwest Yacht Brokers Association have informed RBAW they will
support the bill.
Update on the No Discharge Zone Attempt by WA State Department of
Ecology
In recent talks with the Department of Ecology, RBAW, representatives of the
tug operators and owners and a Marine Alliance have continued to lobby for
additional time and reasonableness in filing a petition to establish a Puget
Sound-wide NDZ with the US EPA. The timetable has significantly been put
back to possibly late 2015 or 2016.
