New 2010 Dockmaster Signups!!!!!
If you want to take your dockmaster destiny into your own hands, now is your chance to make this a reality. On a trial basis, the CSC is offering any returning member in 2010 to signup for one or more dockmaster session(s) and earn sailing credit in your account to the tune of $15 per person per session.
These signups will hopefully alleviate what has been a problem area for the club for many years. You see, every January, we have a membership renewal night, but in order for the club to continue to provide the Dockmaster service into the new year, we have had to schedule current members in advance of the upcoming year's renewals. However, when a current member doesn't renew, like when they move away or they buy their own boat or even due to financial reasons, the club is faced with a situation where the Dockmaster slot is left open and no Dockmaster is available to help the sailors at the docks. Also, if everyone who is going to renew, actually does renew in January, that would be fine, but that also doesn't happen. It usually takes a few months for the membership roster to stabilize, typically around March.
Then, once the membership roster stabilizes, we are able to schedule the rest of the year using an alphabetical sequence of all qualified members for the Dockmaster sessions. However, in an attempt to reduce the amount of no-shows in January through March, we are trying this new signup system out starting this year. In order to use this Signup website, you must....
- be a regular CSC member with 2 years of consecutive membership (waived for this year!!!)

- be a regular CSC member with 2 years of consecutive membership (waived for this year!!!)
- not be a student or associate member
- live within San Diego County
- not have a physical impairment
So, if you meet the previous criteria, and plan to renew your membership, you can help the club by signing up for one or more Dockmaster session(s) from January through May. The benefit to you is that you can pick and choose when you want to do the duty. You can even pick back-to-back sessions and accomplish your Dockmaster duty for the entire year, in a single day, if you want. Also, if you perform 2 sessions from January through May, you will have met your quota and not have to do it again for the rest of the year! Once all of the sessions from January through May are filled in, then the rest of the year will be scheduled using the alphabetical sequence of all members who did not sign up or only signed up for 1 session in January through May.
Remember, you will be credited $15 for each Dockmaster session you complete, however, if you do not perform at least 2 Dockmaster sessions, you will be debited $15 for any session that you fail to perform. If you have any questions, send an email to convair-dockmaster@usa.net or call (206) 338-3322 and leave a message with your name and call back number. The URL for the dockmaster signup is:
