Commodore’s Message
What is the Wheelhouse? Aboard a ship, the wheelhouse is the navigation center. From here, the Watch keeps the ship on course and operating smoothly. The Watch at The San Francisco Yacht Club is the team of member-volunteers and professional staff who steer her safely though the shoals of programs and daily operations. This edition of the Wheelhouse is dedicated to them. The San Francisco Yacht Club is blessed to have such a committed group of volunteers and staff. Each member of the team is dedicated to one goal: to maintain the distinctive value of San Francisco Yacht Club membership across the wide range of our programs and member experiences. I hope you will keep the Wheelhouse handy throughout the year to use as a resource to put names to faces. When you see these faces around the club, feel free to offer your constructive input and to thank them for all their efforts on your behalf. If you would like to be part of our Watch, The Club is always on the lookout for new committee members and volunteers. I encourage you to contact any of the Committee Chairs, Auxiliary President or the Flag Officers to let them know how you would like to become involved. Let’s continue the great tradition of The San Francisco Yacht Club experience! My sincere thanks to the Watch!
