Cleveland and Feinstein Schools On Clipper Cove

Posted on May 12, 2014 by skippersgift

SSLearn is in full swing at TICS. Spring classes started in April and continue through May. Fourth graders from Cleveland School and Dianne Feinstein School each spent a day at Treasure Island Sailing Center recently. Experiential learning looks like fun!

Thanks to the San Francisco America’s Cup Organizing Committee and Citry of San Francisco’s ONESF:Celebrate the Cup program every fourth grader in San Francisco will be able to spend a day on the bay learning about the ecology of the bay and Dungeness crabs, San Francisco maritime history, or renewable energy. And go for a sail at Treasure Island Sailing Center on Clipper Cove!

What makes TISC’s SSLearn experiential learning program unique is the curriculum and how it’s delivered. Each day is split into two parts: inside and outside hands-on activities sharing ideas, learning about bay creatures and history, and reinforcing what’s been learned through open discussion; and time in a sailboat driving, touching the water, grabbing seaweed, and experiencing the effects of wind, tide, currents.

San Francisco Unified School District 4th grade classes are split into two groups for their SSLearn day at TISC. While 15 kids pilot RS Venture sailboats the other group learns about crabs, ecology, math and the environment through open discussions. After lunch they switch.

Our activity center is for learning and exploring; we never refer to it as a classroom. No chairs – sometimes the kids stand for open discussion, other times they’re on the floor listening to group presentations.

Playing “The Oh Crab Population Game” provides a chance for outside “energy burn” while gathering statistics which the kids graph, analyze and discuss. Our ecology curriculum teaches kids about what’s needed to survive, like oxygen, food and shelter.

Kids line up representing either the environment or crabs. With backs turned (OK, some prefer to “peek”) each decides on oxygen (holding nose), food (hands on stomachs) or shelter (hands over heads). A match means more crabs – population increases. If what the crabs decide they need is not available in the environment crabs die and their population decreases.

Each student receives a workbook they fill out and take home with them for post-trip study. Other land-based lessons include, crab finding, compass study, and discussions about rising or falling tides. Our SSL curriculum meets California State Standards; the lesson plans identify how the materials support reading, writing, math, graphing skills, and communication to name a few.

We keep the activity center stocked with pictures and posters from sailing on and around the bay. Reference materials and “eyes on” equipment are also readily available.

Students get to experience the wind and water while in sailboats on Clipper Cove. Some get to steer the boat if they want to. Notice the break in the eastern span of the old Bay Bridge.

While taking pictures I always challenge them with questions about the wind and compass directions -“Point toward Ohio”, or “Which way is West”? By the way, the Golden Gate Bridge is almost perfectly aligned north/ south, and can be seen from most points on Clipper Cove.

When asked “what was your favorite part of the sail?” one student answered “I put my feet in the water.” Others were excited to find “mermaid hair” on the cove and by the dock.

My favorite pictures from these SSL days are the kids smiles – whether on or off the water. Can never be too many of them!

These classes are provided at no charge to SFUSD fourth graders. Bus transportation to/from Treasure Island Sailing Center is also included.

Dock-In Sunday, Smiles on Monday

Posted on March 27, 2014 by skippersgift

Vanguard 15s are in TISC’s DNA ! V15ers have provided major support for kids’ smiles since TISC’s founding in 1997. The docks are in; racing starts April 3^rd on Clipper Cove – arguably one the best dinghy racing venues anywhere.

Last Sunday sailors from Vanguard 15 West Coast Fleet 53 and the TI Laser Fleet worked with the TISC team to install the docks and launching ramp float stored across the cove to protect against winter storms since last fall. This volunteer day is often viewed as the beginning of summer at TISC. It certainly marks the start of V15 and Laser racing on Clipper Cove.

Many of the “bakers dozen” or so who showed up for the Dock-in are experienced hands at this task. There are a few traditions that have built up over time. For example, first one to sign up gets to run the hoist. Most charged up about dock-in and season opener gets to use the power tools. And best dressed gets to ride the ramp float back to the docks.

The fact is, all these volunteers “get it”. They understand a great way to support their sport and help kids learn life lessons – communication skills, team building, decision making, leadership – is by volunteering at the same place they love to sail, here at TISC on Clipper Cove.

Here are a few more pictures of Sunday’s Dock-in process.

And a few more smiles as the docks were assembled and cleaned up.

Dock-in was just in time. Students from the Life Learning Academy used the ramp and float on Monday for the first in a series of classes covering boat handling, self-confidence and SF Bay ecology.

Regards from On the Cove, and a “tip of the hat” to Madeline Eustis, Claire Hulse and Al Sargent for the great pictures from Dock-In Sunday,

Fourth and Three

Posted on January 18, 2014 by skippersgift

Two volunteers joined forces to help un-step J/24 masts and complete a round-trip to Bay Marine last week. Four shiny white hulls are done with three to go. Bonus enclosure: directions for navigating Clipper Cove at low tide.

Rajat Dutta, long-time crew on Melges24 “Posse”, donated a morning to prepare Fortunata and Great White for delivery to Bay Marine Boatworks. We’ve been using the small hoist to unstep masts for the J/24 upgrade program; this approach works well and saves time over the traditional use of gin poles. A +6.5 tide helped.

A few days later Bill Nork, TISC friend and frequent volunteer, helped with the over-and-back transit from Clipper Cove to Point Richmond; we left on schedule at 11am. Our normal journey of 90 minutes stretched to two hours because of the unusual NE breeze, strong ebb current and missing motor mount on Great White.

No complaints for Mother Nature – we had a blue sky day with balmy temperatures for a January morning and the Bay to ourselves.

As we passed Red Oak Victory the air felt warmer once out of the cool n’easter on the bay. Beef Cakes and Blue Stripe looked bright, white and ready to go. After a quick motor switch we headed back to TISC.

The return trip was much faster; just over 90 minutes from dock to dock thanks to the wind at our back, a boosting current and two motors in operation. The views of the “new” Beef Cakes and Blue Stripe framed by Golden Gate Bridge and Berkeley Pier led to thoughts of “what next” for the graphics on these bright new hulls -suggestions welcome !

Even with dusk approaching, our four newly painted hulls looked clean and bright.

As the sun set on the Western end Clipper Cove the tide lines were clear.

There’s only one more transit before our J/24 fleet will have all new bottoms. If you are interested in helping, let me know. Next to providing rides to visitors on opening day and taking pictures of kids smiles, this has to be one of the best volunteer jobs we “offer” to our tenants and friends.

Regards, from On the Cove,
Dave G

In the wake:

Even with a speedy return trip we rounded Pier 1 later than planned and not much ahead of a -.04 tide. While not the lowest of lows (that would be around -1.6) we did have to be mindful of our entry into Clipper Cove.

If you’re in a similar returning situation (or trying to get out for a practice session) hug the large pier closely – no farther than 1-2 boat lengths away. Proceed nearly all the way to the rocks bordering TISC and then take a sharp left 3-4 boat lengths from breakwall. This path may not enable a 3′ draft to pass over the sand bar across the entry at tide levels shallower than -.5 to -1.0, however it’s your best bet.

For deeper draft boats, not much choice other than stay away from low-low tides; if you must make a transit during low tide use best efforts to do so on a flooding tide not an ebbing tide. That way if you do get stuck your “down time” will be minimum. The boats shown on the right exiting Clipper Cove as we returned did not make it out until the tide began rising.

Concrete Crushed, Need Sawzall or Torch

Posted on December 6, 2013 by skippersgift

A few weeks back our team sliced up the “roadblock” next to the opti rack. A volunteer finished off the job Wednesday. Next step: removing four 1″ reinforcing rods. We’re looking for a volunteer with a Sawzall or torch to help.

The troublesome reinforced concrete block that’s been in the way of kids loading and unloading opti’s and bugs, and keelboats using the large hoist, is almost gone. Dan Fishman, our maintenance guru, removed most of it using a concrete saw funded by tenants dollars from those who were not able to directly volunteer their time at TISC in the last six months.

The concrete saw was able to remove most of the block, but not the reinforcing rods. Two of the remaining four bolts and brackets are shown in the picture below.

On Wednesday a volunteer armed with hammer and chisel finished off the small chunks of concrete. All that remains are the four steel rods.

If you have access to a Sawzall or portable torch please feel free to “have at it”. There are four rods that must be cut off in the otherwise mostly cleaned out space. Feel free to call Chris Childers or me if you can help out or if you have suggestions on the best way to attack these rods.

Regards from On The Cove, Dave G

In the wake:

Next up is filling in a few “mule tracks” in the central yard to smooth out the path for our mule, which takes a beating whenever it rolls over these bumps. If you have experience with concrete patching, can make suggestions regarding the best materials to use, or would be willing to help out for a few hours in January please let us know. Materials for this project will also be funded with dollars assessed to tenants not able to fulfill their monthly volunteer time.

Two “New” J/24s Join TISC Fleet

Posted on November 25, 2013 by skippersgift

Last month we delivered Delos and Barney to Bay Marine for bottom painting. They’re back looking brand new! We swapped them with two more J/24’s before rain and wind announced winter’s arrival on Clipper Cove. Next step: stripes & graphics.

Michael Weinman and I splashed Beefcakes and Blue Stripe last Monday. We were ahead of schedule after un-stepping the first mast. As with most boat projects sailing is not always smooth. The mast on Beefcakes was stuck and would not budge.

Jasper Van Vliet arrived for transit duty at 1030. Additional attempts to remove the mast failed so we headed for Bay Marine.

Jasper and I left Clipper Cove with clouds behind us and blue sky ahead of us.

We were greeted by an enthusiastic welcoming committee as we rounded the entrance to Pt. Richmond harbor.

The SS Red Oak Victory, one of 534 Victory class Cargo ships built for WWII, served as a second waypoint. She was turned over to the Richmond Museum of History in 1998 after an act of congress in 1996.

Two freshly-painted J/24s were launched and waiting for us. Our decision to transit Beefcakes with the mast up to save time proved to be a good call – the pros at Bay Marine and their industrial-strength crane made short work of the mast removal.

The 90 minute return journey to TISC was cloudy. Winter is one of the few times we see clouds around here and they always seem gorgeous over SF Bay whether sky blue or stormy gray.

boat B under SF clouds We completed our second refueling as we neared Treasure Island.

Plenty of time to think about boat graphics on the way home with a brand new pearly-white hull on my starboard quarter for an hour. Our current thinking is a blue boot stripe, possibly an upper accent highlight, bow numbers, and CA registration number. And graphics. Bold graphics to showcase our refurbished fleet.

The big questions are how to name the boats and which graphics would look best while remaining durable. Feel free to send along your thoughts or suggestions (daveg @ onclippercove . com). If you or your company would like to sponsor one or more boats and/or sails even better! Imagine how great your name/logo would look on the side of a J/24 with kids smiling as they learned life lessons on Clipper Cove.

Even with help from the pros, favorable tides, and only one “hitch”, daylight ran out before we washed and retrieved both J’s. The reflection of the new Bay Bridge was another reminder of how attractive shiny these new hulls will be – especially with bold new graphics on their hulls.

Regards from On the Cove, Dave G

Six Teams Learn, Race, Network at BTR

Posted on October 1, 2013 by skippersgift

Mother Nature delivered near-perfect weather for TISC’s Big Team Regatta on Friday. PG&E set the pace while Goldman Sachs set a great example. Bishop Ranch, Hanson Bridgett and Recommind teams rounded out the generous teams who raised $30,000 for our youth programs.

BTR is the major Treasure Island Sailing Center fundraiser each year. It’s made possible by the generous donation of facilities, boats and coaches from OCSC and the hard work of our TISC team plus many volunteers from Cal Sailing Team.

This regatta was the brainchild of Jay Palace at Group Experiential Learning. It provides an opportunity for companies to give back to the sailing community by sponsoring four participants who expand their sailing skills and have fun while learning to work efficiently as a team on and off the water. And meet other like-minded sailing enthusiasts and youth sailing supporters!

PG&E entered two teams this year and lead both on the water, placing one – two, and off with a total donation of $10,000. Goldman Sachs sponsored four junior sailors who represented TISC and accepted the donation made possible by all BTR participants.

Some of these junior sailors are new to TISC, some have been sailing with us over five years. They include junior instructors, office interns and an inventor creating a foiling Moth. They sail Optis and FJ’s. All great kids learning life lessons while developing self-confidence in themselves as they help others

OCSC’s Club Manager Tim Han was the regatta PRO who delivered pre-race briefings, kept everyone on schedule and ran 5 exciting races with help from Christina Ha and Tracy Rogers. BTR sailors were on high learning curves thanks to their OCSC coaches Ashley, Bruce, David, Eric, Jim and Larry.

Racing was very clost at this year’s BTR. The first race saw four boats cross the finishe line within seconds of each other.

Carisa Harris-Adamson, co-chairman of the TISC Foundation, reminded participants about the effectiveness of hands-on learning and highlighted our new Set Sail Learn program launched in partnership with ONESF: Celebrate the Cup.

Norbert Bajurin, commodore of Golden Gate Yacht Club and fresh from a dramatic ending to the 34th America’s Cup races, provided a timely and topical keynote. He spoke about the importance of junior sailing to our youth here in the Bay Area and worldwide, and the focus of GGYC and TISC programs high school and youth sailing programs.

A huge THANK YOU to this year’s participating companies for making Big Team Regatta 2013 a huge success. As with all such great events we have many sponsors and volunteers to thank, and we’ll do so in a future blog.

Thanks, from On the Cove,

Dave G

I was fortunate to have Isabelle and Jorge, youth sailors from our FJ and Opti racing teams, helping out on the photo boat. They helped track the competitors and took some of the pictures available HERE.

Volunteers Launch TISC Opening Day

Posted on April 28, 2013 by skippersgift

TISC Opening Day - Low tide in the morning

Low tide on a quiet Clipper Cove Saturday, April 27

TISC Opening Day 2013 was smooth sailing from first launch at low tide to 6pm high fives thanks to the massive volunteer effort coordinated by our team. I spent the day driving Skipper’s Gift, secretly envious of the lucky RS Venture drivers.

Based on the iPhone activity from the sixty six Skipper’s Gift “crew” yesterday there will be plenty of images on social media of smiling faces, happy families and passionate volunteers. This blog is about the volunteers who helped enable our 850+ visitors to have enjoyable day On Clipper Cove.

Low ( -1.4 ft) tides on Clipper Cove make launching and retrieving boats more difficult.

When the tides on Clipper Cove are higher launching is easier because the vertical distance from water to yard is less.

Mother Nature delivered up a nearly astronomically low tide of -1.4 just as we were launching the J/24s, RS Ventures and safety boats. Made for a long drop, although we were rewarded later in the day with a convenient high tide for hauled out.

Two USF Service-Learning teams working with our staff played a huge part in the planning and preparation of the day’s events. I’m still not sure if they’ve all had a chance to get out for a sail, and will try to make sure that happens as they wrap up their work on the volunteer-enabling software for us and make their recommendations for any opening day “tune ups” we should consider for next year.

USF Service-Learning team ready for registration. Notice the huge pile of life jackets in the background – they were ALL in used during busy times!

USF Service-Learning teams also sold TISC gear during the event.

As they have done for all major events over last few years, the Cal Berkeley Sailing team turned out in force. They were there from first launch until last evening shadows began to settle over TISC launching boats, keeping our drivers on time, and helping visitors – many who had never sailed or even been on boats – on/off the J/24’s, RS Ventures and smaller water craft. Their team sails out of TISC and are a model tenant in terms of sail hard, enjoy the bay and give back to enable others to benefit from the sport of sailing.

Cal Berkely Sailing Team readies the J/24 fleet for a busy day on Clipper Cove.

Notice the huge crowds in the background ready for their turn at rides. Cal Sailing team helped visitors on/off the J/24’s during the day.

Tenants from TISC turned out in force to support opening day. 21 skippers and crew from our J/24, Melges 24, Thistle and V15 fleets showed up to help with driving and managing a small armada of watercraft. A great showing of support from the “locals”.

Kevin and Chris briefed the TISC Tenant Volunteers on plans for the day, stressing safety and timeliness during hand-off at the dock.

Chris answered questions and passed out TISC-provided hand-helds to drivers for the J/24’s and safety boats.

Volunteers setting up the RS Ventures, stand-up paddle boards and kayaks in preparation for the many free rides of the day.

The real stars of the day were the kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, Optis, RS Ventures and J/24s. People came to enjoy the water and it doesn’t get better than an exciting eco-friendly day On Clipper Cove.

During low tide entrance to Clipper Cove must be made near the large pier temporarily occupied by the Hughes Mining Barge recently renovated for use in off-shore barge refurbishing by Bay Ship and Yacht.

RS Venture framed by Alameda Battle Bots

RS Ventures provided lively rides as the winds cooperated with 15-20 knot gusts. Notice huge “battle bots” in the background.

TISC’s fleet was augmented this year by the just-arrived RS Ventures. They will offer ability to have instructor-lead “on-the-water” classes for several students at the same time. The Opti on left sails with one or two students only.

J/24s, RS Ventures and kayaks were big hit with hundreds of visitors to TISC during Opening Day 2013

Most common questions from guests on Skipper’s Gift were about TISC, our mission and sailing lessons. Other popular ones: “How do boats sail upwind”, “where can I rent a boat like this”, and “what’s inside that large gray barge on the big pier”.

What started out for many as a Facebook link, email from a friend or outdoor pick on funCheapSF turned into an opportunity to share background on our mission of delivering life-lessons to kids through sailing.

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS, or enabling our team to kick off another year as a “Launching Point for New Horizons” for bay area kids, and a fun place to sail and race for adults.

Regards from on The Cove, Dave G

In the wake: As I was preparing to swap out five smiling faces for a new crew just after lunch I was taken aback by a sleek PROTECTOR ribby parked under our two-ton hoist. With a PIZZA sign on top? I later found out Waypoint Pizza (history here, founded in 1997 same year as TISC) made a high speed run from Tiburon to provide hot pizza for many of our volunteers. More in a later blog on the many “gifts in kind” that added to the cost-effective success of TISC Opening Day 2013.

Spreaders, Smiles and Straight Courses

Posted on April 22, 2013 by skippersgift

Friday morning’s lesson: the “pop” in stainless steel pop rivets can be tough. Very Tough! The afternoon served up an opportunity for more Mission Beacon kids smiles outside the cove, in the “flats” and under the new Bay Bridge.

Late last year we lost a spreader on one of our J/24’s. Friday offered up an opportunity to remove old brackets and install new ones complete with an updated “through-mast” spreader bar. Drilling out old rivets was easy; removing the brackets went without a hitch.

Installing the new brackets using 16 3/16 x 3/4 stainless pop rivets not so easy. The rivets took serious pressure to get them to “pop”. I was able to do so using a combination “double wrist grip” plus “brace the gun on the mast and push” approach. Took more time than expected.

If anyone has suggestions on better approach let me know. Although both guns were on the “aged” side they’ve worked fine on recent jobs using aluminum rivets.

Ten middle-school students from San Francisco Beacon Initiative showed up at 2pm. The wind was cranking nicely so Philip and I decided to pass on a bay sail and treat the kids and two advisors to close up views of the large buoys and barges in the flats, underneath views of the new Bay Bridge and opportunity to see the Alameda cranes loading a container ship.

J/24’s are great platforms for such cruises. On our boat the two favorite spots were hanging out on (but not over) the bow and driving. Everyone took a turn at both. I was also reminded of the origins of the Star Wars battle bots by one of our guests (you’ve heard that story, right)?

Focusing on where we were heading and keeping steady course was challenging for some, natural for others. While a minor lesson compared to the goal setting, teamwork, communications and leadership taught as key elements of our summer youth program, these Everett Middle School students enjoyed their time with us and drove straight courses. Something about being On the Cove and away from city distractions, I guess.

Our programs staff is always on the alert for volunteers to help with orientation sails like the one above. If you would be willing to help out call the office and get your name on our volunteer driving list.

USF Service-Learning on Clipper Cove

Posted on April 16, 2013 by skippersgift

USF Service-Learning Team Orientation Sail on Clipper Cove

Last Friday three students from USF’s Service-Learning program delivered recommendations for a volunteer tracking app for integration with our salesforce.com platform. Complete with requirements, objective and solution pros/cons. Their next step – deliver documented phase-1 of a working, deployable system.

Service-learning at USF offers motivated students an opportunity to work on a range of projects while developing valuable experience rooted to real-world constraints. The community partner benefits are many, including ability to expand resources available for key projects, access to latest thinking and technology and effective way to development additional skills within their teams. Big win-win all around

Next steps for USF team: to provide a “cheat sheet” for those features we need (the system has many more bells and whistles than we require) then populate new app with real data. Final phase will be roll out and guiding TISC team through use on live volunteer project.

TISC could not function without our volunteers. They provide needed skills, hundreds of hours of applied time each year and gifts-in-kind for major events. More important, many grants are tied to our non-profit status; if we cannot show documented volunteer hours some of them would disappear of our radarscope.

Thanks to USF efforts we will soon have a cloud-based system to enable our team to easily set up and promote volunteer projects then track and report volunteer hours quickly and efficiently. Our tenants will benefit through an easy path to match their time and skills to projects available to fulfill their contract commitments to TISC. Another big win-win.

TISC teaches life skills to kids through sailing. USF service-learning provides a unique opportunity for students to deliver vital services to the community around them while tuning their basic job skills so important in the workspace they will soon join.

I look forward to meeting our entire USF team in a couple of weeks – they’ll be joining us for our Opening Day on Saturday, April 27th.

Regards from On the Cove, Dave G

Trailer, Docks and Richmond SMILES – then crash !

Posted on February 23, 2013 by skippersgift

Blue sky and diamond sparkles highlighted Clipper Cove as I drove over the Bay Bridge to TISC Thursday morning. What a great day for the Richmond Parks and Recreation sail plus dock installation for the BAYS Golden Bear Regatta.

Early start with a 7:30 appointment in Alameda to pick up a donated Moore 24 trailer. Stay tuned for the international background behind this gracious donation in a later blog. Ditto for the excellent dock work supplied by volunteers from Encinal, Richmond, San Francisco and St. Francis Yacht Clubs and Peninsula Youth Sailing Foundation.

Philip and Ivan, two of our TISC instructors, treated ten kids + two advisers from Richmond Parks and Recreation to a breezy sail on the bay. They were all smiles when their J/24’s returned to the docks around 1pm:

Answers to my question “What was your favorite part of the day?” included “I sailed the boat”, “being on the water”, and “what makes the sky blue? ( elementary students often answer a question with a question, you know)”. All answers delivered with big smiles and inquisitive minds.

Side Bar: Thursday was quite windy; the kids had an exciting ride. A few upset stomachs enused. After the sail, however, they were ALL SMILES, and everyone wanted to come back for another sail at Treasure Island Sailing Center. Troopers every one !

About “The Crash”.

If you look closely at this group shot taken before the sail at 10:50am, you will see two cranes removing portions of the under-works used to assemble the eastern section of the new Bay Bridge.

In this picture of their return to the docks just after 1pm, notice the large pile of broken steel and the broken crane on the construction barge:

Here is another picture I shot seconds after hearing the rumbling and crashing from tons of steel dropping on the barge below at 12:07 pm. You can see the yellow lifting frame used to lower the sections as it it dropped to the barge on top of the under-works, taking the remaining crane down with it:

Regards from (not your normal day) On The Cove, Dave G

In the wake: As I finish this blog, 250 kids from 50 schools in 35 towns are finishing up the first day of the BAYS Golden Bears Regatta on Clipper Cove. Stay tuned for a behind-the-scenes look at Thursday’s preparation for this PCISA event.
