April 2014 - Bayview Yacht Club

A desire to promote the
sport of yachting…
Message from the Commodore
The last Semaphore article I wrote closed
with my writing of the hope my fingers would
soon be encrusted with epoxy and covered
with bottom paint. I am happy to report that
that wish has come true. Finally, I got to do
some grinding, some glass work, some
fairing…..lead, epoxy, fiberglass dust, the
sweet smells of spring! I have also learned
lead is quite malleable, and those North
Channel bites in my keel will be filled with
some custom hammered lead inserts, instead
of airweight filler only.
It was good too, to see some other fellow
members and crews doing some boat work,
in preparation for the rapidly approaching
sailing season. Up in the triangle, Courtesan,
Pendragon, Blitz, Legend, Thor, and I’m sure
I missed a couple, were all getting attention.
By the time you read this, I expect our harbor
will have started filling up, and our fleet ready
to rock.
The North Harbor renovation, which
consists of new decking throughout, and
widening of the docks from well 201 to well
209 is just about complete. Vice Commodore
Hanson Bratton led a group of BYC members
to get this done. On behalf of the Club, a big
‘Thank You’, to all of you for your contribution
to this improvement.
While some of us were up here working
on boats and docks, some of our other
members were getting a jump start on the
sailing season by sailing elsewhere.
Com. Bayer, with a BYC crew of Com.
Peter Griffin, Gov. Todd Jones, and Paul
Hulsey, debuted the newest Grizzly at
Charleston Race Week, finishing 28th. But
wait, there were 75 boats on the starting line!
So, for the first time out, not a bad result at
all. It took Chuck 10 years to win the Beneteau
36.7 North American Championship, my
guess is it will take him less than that to win
in the J70 class. Also racing at CRW were Vice
Com. Hanson Bratton, on Taz, with fellow BYC
members Rear Com Karl Kuspa, Nancy Kuspa,
Hans Brieden, Dave Bennett and Nicole
Neely. Bora Gulari raced on Spookie, which
won it’s class, and Tyler Black, on Decision
which finished second to Spookie. Rounding
out the top three spots in the HPR class was
Bill McKinley’s Denale^2, with BYC members
Dave LaMere and George ‘Bear’ Peet. Lance
Smotherman raced his Melges 20 Details as
well, with crew Alex Hume. Greg McCliment
sailed on Gnarly Rucca, and Mark Steyn with
Greg Semack raced Vapor Trail. And, helping
out with the Race Committee were P/C Tim
Rumptz, and Trish Smotherman. As you can
see, Bayview sent a strong contingent to CRW,
and I understand the gas powered blender
Hummer party was a huge success.
Also spending his time racing recently was
Mike Rehe, who, crewing for Taylor Canfield,
just won the Congressional Cup. This is a very
significant accomplishment, congratulations
to Mike Rehe and team Canfield. I believe this
is the first time Bayview has had a member on
a winning Congressional Cup team. Now, let’s
see how you do on the Cal 25 in the BOD…
Sailing…it’s what we do. We all know
that, and along with the sailing come the
camaraderie and social aspects of our support.
You are all familiar with the traditional (and
not so traditional) parties hosted at the Club.
Most of you are also familiar with our most
famous ‘off-site’ party, the Bell’s Beer Bayview
Mackinac Race awards party, held after our
race, on the grounds of the Grand Hotel.
We have another ‘off-site’ party you may
not be aware of, the Acura Oasis,
located in Port Huron, along the Black
River, between the 7th and 10th street bridges,
on the north shore of the river, not too far
from the fire station, The Acura Oasis (or
what is casually referred to as the ‘beer tent’)
has evolved to be a significant party, both
Thursday and Friday night before our race,
and as part of the Blue Water Festival. Those
of you who missed last year’s festivities missed
some really good bands, a great crowd of

mostly non-sailors who were anxious to talk
with sailors about the race, and best of all,
Larry Bell on drums, jamming with the band.
Many of you who race are no longer
partying like a rock star on Friday night before
the race; those of you who do, please make it
a point to visit the Acura Oasis. There will be
plenty of Bell’s beer, Barefoot wine, and some
great live music. Most of you who race are in
Port Huron on Thursday, tending to last minute
race preparation. May I suggest you head over
to the Acura Oasis when you’re done, and
view this as your night to get your party on;
you’ll have all Friday to get rejuvenated before
setting sail Saturday. You will have a great
time, and another great Bayview party will be
continued
enhanced. The same great live music and vast
amounts of Bell’s Beer and Barefoot wine will
be available for your partying pleasure.
So, while you’re under your boat
this spring, making it perfect, add to your
checklist of things to do to: register for the
BOD, register for our Mac race; sponsor a
new member; plan on attending all the great
parties we’ve got planned for this year. Once
your boat is in the water, take someone sailing
who’s never been before; invite them to be
your guest at one of our many fun events.
This coming summer is going to be busy,
with a lot of great events. Please take a moment
to thank the event chair, the volunteers, the
Club staff and management that have worked
so hard to put these events together. Without
them, we’d just be a building on the river;
collectively, we are Bayview Yacht Club, and
there is no better place to spend your summer.
* And once again, we woke up to snow
this morning….the ‘Polar Vortex’ set a new
record for snowfall this year.
See you on the starting line...

Etchells Tune Up
for World Championship
Bayview Yacht Club’s Etchells
fleet has a full schedule this spring,
with an eye toward the 2014 Etchells
World Championship June 22-28, 2014
in Newport, RI.
Four Etchells from
our fleet will be participating in the
event. Former World Champions Bruce
and Glenn Burton will be joined by
boats skippered by Justin Palm, Doug
Scheibner and Peter Shumaker in the
90+ boat fleet drawing boats from over
a dozen countries.
The Etchells schedule in Detroit
begins Sunday May 4 with a windwardleeward series, followed by the Etchells
Great Lakes Championship May 17-18
and the BOD May 30-June 1. After the
World Championship and a break for
the Mackinac Races, the Detroit fleet’s
windward-leeward series continues on
August 3, August 17 and September 14.
If anyone is interested in
participating in the Etchells fleet, several
race-ready Etchells are available for
charter or for sale this summer. Please
contact Fleet Captain Jim Best at
[email protected].
Mackinac Race Committee
Chairman’s Report - April 2014
Having served in various functions as part of the Mackinac Race Committee between 1993 when I
first helped the late Frank Kerwin coordinate the weather briefing and last year when I served as Carl
Bielmeyer’s assistant I thought I knew a lot about the backroom operations necessary to make our
race happen. Nevertheless, what I have found most interesting since assuming the chairman’s job is
how many things I didn’t know about the behind the scenes part of the race preparations. Sailors who
do the race perceive course selection and rating rules as a major part of the Committee’s duties and
differences of opinion over those items tend to dominate talk over a Bell’s Amber Ale at the Bayview bar.
But preparation of the Notice of Race listing the course(s) and rating rule(s) that will be used is a tiny
fraction of the work that needs to get done. The truth is the race happens because a core set of volunteers
and our club management spend countless hours attending to all of the details necessary to pull it off.
There are a million little things that have to be done and someone has to do every one of them. To focus
on just the start and “on the water” component of race preparations:
• Who do you think assembles and inventories all of the anchor lines, inflatable marks, floating
balls and other items necessary to segregate spectator boats from the starting area and set up the
starting line itself?
• Who do you think transports all of the above items from Bayview to Port Huron a few days before
the race and stores them in the harbormaster’s shed?
• Who do you think loads all of the above on a boat and goes out at 6 a.m. on the day of the race to
set up the starting area?
• Who do you think drives up to Southhampton, Ontario, a week before the race to attach the
transponder, replace the battery and light and attend to any necessary maintenance of the Cove
Island rounding mark?
• Who do you think arranges for the starting line boat, the pin end boat, the mark set boat and the
press boats?
• Who do you think procures and transports all the food and beverages to feed 50 plus people
manning the various RC boats at the start?
• Who do you think mans the RC boats, handles the starting line timing, eyes the starting line for
OCS boats, raises the signal flags, calls OCS boat sail numbers on the radio and gets all the boats
off and running?
The race chairman gets the credit (or the blame) for course selection and ratings but the race
volunteers and club employees are the unsung heros who really make the race happen. But for the
efforts of volunteers like Keith Ziegler, Com. Al Minsterman, Com. Jon Somes, Gordy Smith, Trish
Smotherman, Brian Kieth, and dozens of other volunteers working with them the mighty ship “Mackinac
Race” would be sunk before it even got started.

Note from Bayview’s Long Range Planning Committee
Thank you to the Commodores, Board of
Governors, and Club members who attended the
Town Hall meeting Wednesday (April 16) evening.
The input provided is encouraging for new ideas
to emerge and final plans to be constructed in a
contemplative manner.
As most are aware, the Long Range Planning
Committee proposed this past year that Club
membership and usage will increase when sailing
programs are vibrant. That concept spiraled
through the Design Team to create the newly
founded Sailing Council.
Being aware of the multitude of topics
the Sailing Council intends to address, the
membership may be rest assured that many of
the concerns presented are on the cusp of being
executed. Albeit patience in the effectuation
process will demonstrate to be worthwhile.
The Long Range Planning Committee
continues to take a strategic position to ensure
that the long term concerns of the Club are
being addressed. We are currently in the
process of developing a system of continuity and
sustainability in addressing those concerns.
In addition, as debatable topics persist,
broad input from the membership will allow
a thoughtful study to occur in order to tackle
complicated issues and ensure the Club and
sailing will be better off for everyone in the future.
As Bayview Yacht Club embarks on its next
100 years of success it is vital to recognize the
impact that the numerous volunteers make
in ensuring the Club remains essential to its
membership and stays in alignment with the Club’s
purpose of “the advancement of yachting and
to provide recreation of its Members.”
Halftime Report from the Treasurer:
We are now halfway through our fiscal year, so I thought the membership
would like a more comprehensive report. I would have liked to report that we
are ahead of last year, but at the moment we are fractionally worse. However,
I am optimistic that we will have made significant improvement by year-end.
To date, we are approximately $25,000 worse off this year, than last. Before
anyone gets unduly concerned, please remember that the first half of the
fiscal year is the club’s slowest and worst performing from a balance sheet
perspective. Since our fiscal year is September-to-September, Q3 and Q4 are
much busier and financially successful for the club.
There are a few items of note within the financials:
• Total Revenues are 3% better on a year-over-year basis.
• Total Expenses are 5.8% higher on a year-over-year basis.
• Mackinac Expenses are $28,718 higher on a year-over-year basis. This
is due to a hangover of $13,138 of last year’s actual expenses that were
billed in October of 2013 after our books had been officially closed; also
we have paid a portion ($22,550) of our Witz commission payments
earlier this year than last.
• Excluding Mackinac expenses, Total Expenses would be 3.3% higher.
Variable Costs (under expenses) are up $51,995 or 25%. Much of this line
item is “Outside Services” which include:
•Increased fee from our auditors ($19,150 annually for audit and tax
return)
• $10,719 to repair a sewer during the polar vortex
• $9,830 to print roster
As you know our facility is getting older ever year, and this winter was
especially harsh. During the “Polar Vortex” we had a sewer issue that was
backing up raw sewage into the parking lot. It should be noted that Kerrie
had come in that Saturday morning planning to work a couple of hours; due to
the emergency she was at the club until 2am (missing her children’s sporting
events). It is employees like Kerrie that make our club great - thank you.

The two funds of note are the Building Fund and the Capital Improvement
Fund. Per our bylaws:
A Building Fund shall be established for the purpose of
improving Club facilities, and subject to restrictions herein, the fund
shall be expended at the discretion of the Board of Governors and
not under the control or direction of the Control Committee.
The Control Committee which consists of five Active or Senior members,
including the current Commodore and the immediate past Commodore control
the Capital Improvement Fund.
This Committee shall have the duty of controlling the Capital
Improvement Fund, and monies shall be pledged, released, or
committed to be released to the Board from such Improvement Fund
only at the request of the Board for capital improvements, major
repairs, and major emergencies and in amounts approved by the
Control Committee. Any action taken by this Committee shall be
approved by affirmative vote of three (3) or more of its members. A
written report of all its actions shall be delivered to the Club Secretary
and incorporated in the Club Records. The Committee shall make
a report of its actions to the membership at each Annual Meeting.
Before I go any further, it needs to be stressed that this is an attempt to
stir productive conversation amongst the membership, and not meant as an
attempt to criticize any Control Committee member past or present. The fact is
that any member that serves on any committee within Bayview is doing so out
of love and respect for the Club. I believe that the current Board of Governors
and Control Committee are working well together for the good of Bayview.

Another important item that I believe we need to discuss is how the club
allocates capital, or “the joys of fund accounting.” At Bayview we have four

As I mentioned earlier, our facility is aging, and we have annual deprecation
of approximately $218,000. In theory, this means that if we aren’t spending
that amount annually on Capital Expenditures the club is moving backwards.
However, we only provide the BOG with the Building Fund’s $108,000 to pay
for it. For the past 15-years we have been spending $275,000 towards CapEx
annually; if we strip out extraordinary years we invest an average of $170,000
into CapEx per year. Much of this funding has been coming at the expense of
the General Fund/Operations.

From the Board Room
Fourth Edition
D Cup – The D Cup budget has been approved. Many thanks to Regatta
Chairman, Gary Shoemaker for going the extra mile to get things streamlined
for 2014. The Van Tol family also stepped up to make sure this year’s event
will be the best yet.
U20 Fleet – In order to make sure our fleet is in perfect condition for
the D Cup we have approved the purchase of new jibs for the boats. We are
also looking for another boat to purchase and there are some things being
worked on for the donation of U20’s by Members. The goal is to get to a total
of eleven boats so we can hold US Sailing caliber events with a break down
boat. Peter Wenzler is doing a great job and the Adult Learn to Sail program
will be very successful this year adding new sailors and Members to the club.
Approved Events – The Etchells are bringing their Great Lakes
Championship to the club next month on the 17th and 18th of May. The
WaHa (Warren and Harold (Burt) Jones) Regatta has been scheduled for
June 22nd. The Commodore John S. Barbour Memorial Regatta will be held
September 7th.
Membership – We are currently about 70 Active Members short of
full membership. We are still running the Dinner for Two promotion. As a
primary sponsor to a “NEW” Active or Intermediate Member, you and your
newly approved Member will receive a dinner for two compliments of the
Board of Governors.
There is nothing more important or satisfying than sharing Bayview
Membership with friends and acquaintances that you know will enhance the
traditions of Bayview through mutual interest of sailing and fellowship. As
you know, Bayview Membership offers a very unique experience to those that
share our passion for sailing and camaraderie.
Take the time to consider who you know that would be a good fit with
our Club. Contact Membership Chairman, Brad Kimmel, cell phone number
248-388-3581 or you can email him at [email protected] and he
will assist you in the application process.
Want to Win One of These?
Register for the 2014 BOD today at www.yachtscoring.com
Please don’t forget that the Early Registration Discount
ends on May 9th. All entries after this date will be charged
a $50.00 Late Fee.
This years Bayview One Design Regatta, May 30th
to June 1st, is shaping up to the biggest best yet. We are
expecting over two hundred entries in 16 separate classes.
As in past years we are seeing strong registration numbers
in the Cal 25, Lightning, Beneteau 36.7, Melges 24 and
Tartan 10 classes. This year, however, we are excited to see
increased interest in a few other classes such as Star, Catalina
27, International Etchells and S2 7.9 and 9.1’s. There are two
more J120’s rounding out an already fantastic fleet and there
is even some talk about a new Club 420 fleet that might join
the river circle. If you have not already registered please
jump on line today and get your on-line entry complete
before the deadline.
Our Entertainment Team of Blay Schoenherr and
Michael Cytacki have been working hard to ensure that
BYC does not loose its reputation for having World Class
Parties. Back this year by popular demand we have lined up
two bands that are always a crowd favorite. Good Gravy on
Friday night followed by the Hogans the next. These two
bands always put on a good show and keep the tent rock’n
well into the evening. Also back by popular demand we
are having the Moth Grand Prix taking place on the Detroit
River on Friday and Saturday evenings right out in front of
the club so even if you are not planning on sailing please
bring your family and friends down to what is sure to be the
best BYC party of the year.
We always want to thank our 2014 Bayview One Design
sponsors for all of their support: Acura, Bells Beer, Mount
Gay Rum, Soaring Eagle Casino, North Sails Barefoot Wine,
Line Honors, Kuspa Yacht Services, Interactive Creations
and Pure Eco.
Halftime Report from the Treasurer:

Funding Source for the Past 15 Years
of Capital Expenditures
From
Operations,
$2,206,778 From Building
Fund,
$1,420,502
From Control
Cmte Fund,
$536,653
The Control Committee has Funded ~ 13% of
Capital Expenditures in the past 15 Years
Fiscal Year End Fund Balances 900,000 800,000 700,000 600,000 500,000 Building Fund 400,000 CC Fund Opera0ons 300,000 As you can see the Control Committee has paid
approximately 13% of all CapEx over the past 15-years.
Over the past six years we have seen the Capital
Improvement Fund double in size from less than $400,000
to over $800,000. During this time the Building Fund has
stayed flat, and the General Fund’s assets have declined.
One of my goals for this year is to work with the
Control Committee and try to develop a logic for the size
and scope of the Capital Improvement Fund. At the last
Annual Meeting Commodore Pappas made a compelling
argument that virtually any CapEx expense should come
from the Control Committee rather than the General Fund,
and taking from the General Fund could ultimately lead
to a dues increase. In response, past Control Committee
Chairman Paul Falcone made an equally compelling
argument that Capital Improvement Funds should be
used in the case of emergency or rainy day. I thought
both individual made sound arguments; I think the best
solution is likely somewhere in between.
Some members believe the existing $800,000+ in the
Capital Improvement Fund is far too high, other members
believe we should have $1,000,000-$2,000,000 in the
fund at all times. Rather than pick an abstract number
I hope we can somehow come up with road map to
recognize the potential emergency costs that may arise
and reserve appropriately for them. I have been assured
that we carry an appropriate amount of insurance for the
physical plant of the club in case of catastrophe. I would
like to quantify the other potential expenses and apply an
inflation adjustment to them so that the structure could
be valid for years to come. Clearly all past members of
the Control Committee have had the Club’s best interests
at heart, but there has been some differing of opinions of
what is a worthy expense.
200,000 Respectfully,

OOOO WHEE!
Now that we have fought the cold weather off and your boats are
“almost” in the water let’s start having some fun!!
I mentioned in April that Boar’s Head Products were coming to us
and they are here. In addition, I have also brought in the Artisian breads of
Breadsmith. For those of you from Grosse Pointe you know them on Mack
Ave.! You now may now order your sliced meats and cheeses “To Go” in
addition to our new breads. It is my personal goal to carry superior products
for Bayview, offering a reasonable and competitive price to you, your family,
friends and guests.
With all the events coming up I would like to interest you in some new
ideas such as having a Bayview Water Grill Patio Menu, Jerome’s Dockhouse
Menu on Wednesday and Thursday after the Races and Sailing with Goodies.
There are endless possibilities to a great time for our culinary and staff here
at Bayview to serve you!
Last month I accomplished with the help of a great team, my first
Commodore’s Dinner. It felt great to serve our Commodore, the Board of
Governors the Past Commodores and our guests from across Michigan with a
great meal and service! I couldn’t have been more proud.
Be sure to tune in and read what Chef Andra’ will be up to next month!

Detroit Cup – August 20 - 24, 2014
The Detroit Cup will be held at
Bayview Yacht Club again this summer
and will feature an exciting group of
sailors from around the world to match
race on closed courses on the Detroit
River right in front of Bayview Yacht
Club. We have already received requests
for invitations from as far away as
Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand
and may actually have the team who
won the Alipari World Match Racing
Tour in 2013. Our charity partner again
this year will be The Big Brothers and
Big Sisters of Metropolitan Detroit and
the kids will participate in the annual
Pro-Am race with the competitors on
Saturday of the event.
An International Event of this
magnitude needs many volunteers and
sponsors to successfully run and we are
