THE THE CYBA NEWS NEWS November-December 2010 The California Yacht Brokers Association Newsletter San Diego Brokers Forum Hosts a Christmas Party December 15th, the noted San Diego Brokers Forum hosted its Annual Christmas Party, yet again at the venerable Fiddler’s Green restaurant on Shelter Island. Always a “can’t miss” party, this year’s edition was no different and was considered by all in attendance to be a monumental success. Thanks to the very generous financial support of many of the waterfront’s finest marine businesses, we were able to host the gala event of the season. Fiddler’s Green proprietor Steve Rock and his staff insured that an abundance of fine food and good cheer were on hand. Attendance exceeded all expectations (with Inside This Issue: San Diego Brokers Forum Christmas Party........ Pg 1 From The President................................................

The holidays are a fabulous time to spend with each other and to remember what is truly important in life. It is also a great time to thank our loved ones for all the support they give us during the year. As we finish 2010, I would like to address some issues that have come up recently and remind everyone to be aware of the tactics some people will try to employ especially when times are tough. BE AWARE!!! I have heard of brokers using the term Co-Exclusive Listings. After checking with DBW and reviewing the California Boating Law manual, I am certain that this term and/or practice is not legal. Don’t be coerced into thinking it is a way to avoid the possible pitfalls related to an Open Listing. The term itself is should be cause for concern. In a transaction recently, a seller and his broker put in a counter offer that upon the buyer signing Final Acceptance, the Buyer’s Broker would release the deposit to the Seller and his broker before either the closing had occurred or the Buyer cancelled. Remember, funds pertaining to proceeds and commissions cannot be dispersed until the sale is completed or upon the buyer canceling the transaction.� Those of you who did not attend the Northern California Legal Seminar really missed out on some great information. One topic that really should be addressed by every Broker to all sales people is the advertising term “Buffing”. This topic was discussed as it related to the recent legal action in Florida involving HMY Yachts. If you are not familiar with the term or the case, do your homework. Using terms like: LIKE NEW, BETTER THAN NEW, PERFECT, should be used cautiously or not at all. Remember, can you prove it in a court of law? If not, be careful. The CYBA Boat Show Speakers Forum for 2010 was very successful. We were at three shows and the attendance and overall response from the boating public was fantastic. We will be building on this success in 2011 and if anyone would like to participate or know someone who would be interested in speaking, please contact me, Bob Gorman or Jack Buckley. We are always looking for new speakers who can provide the boating public with useful information. The CYBA will be having our (cont. on next page) GET YOUR MESSAGE OUT THERE!

California Yacht Brokers Association • August – October 2010 PAGE 3 Editor’s Notes As I begin this letter we are but a few days away from Christmas and it’s a mild 80 degrees here in San Diego, now I remember why I moved here, no shoveling snow or bundling up to go outside – can not say I miss any of that. Well for me to state 2010 has been a trying year probably wouldn’t even begin to describe the difficulty and hardships we have endured – but I do however think it has provided us with a great opportunity to take a good hard look at how and what we are doing in our businesses and maybe try and to evaluate and see if there are not areas we could improve on or change with the service that we provide our clients. I truly believe those who will not only survive but thrive in this economy are the ones that provide the highest level of service each and everyday to their clients. Good Customer Service should be priority one with all of us – why do you think some of the top companies are so successful? Luck, product or maybe timing – NO it is customer service. Hold true to this and I can promise you that you will succeed. The upcoming CYBA Annual Dinner is sure to be an event that you will want to put on your social calendar, thanks to the hard work and diligent efforts of our Social Director Guy Newmark we will be hosting the dinner on board the recently renovated Queen Mary in Long Beach on February 12, 2010. The Salesperson Wanted Southern California Yacht Sales is needing an experienced yacht salesperson. We are now located at the Shelter Island Boatyard and are offering a very competitive commission program to experienced salespeople on Powerboat and Sailboat brokerage sales and listings.

The CYBA hosted another very successful Legal Seminar this time in Northern California the attendance was up significantly from last year and that the ever popular “YOU MAKE THE CALL” was one of the highlights of the seminar. Terie Salinas has a rice nice article in this edition along with some great photos from the seminar. Another event worth mentioning was the San Diego Brokers Forum Annual Christmas party that was held on December 15th 2010 at Fiddlers Green. The party was very well attended and as always Steve Rock the owner and his very competent staff did a fantastic job insuring everyone had a great time. The section “ALONG THE WATERFRONT” in the newsletter is getting great response so remember this is a great way for your company to get the word out on changes at your office whether it be new personnel, new product-line, or maybe a new or relocation of your office. All these and others would be news worthy and I hope you will take a moment of your time and allow your newsletter to work for you – please submit articles to me via email at jim@ chuckhoveyyachts.com, I would ask that you try and keep the article to a couple paragraphs if at all possible. Thank you. Respectfully, James H.

Marc tells us this years’ team was totally dedicated and that, some even contributed over $900 of their own money to reach the required goal of $2300 each! Those of you, that didn’t contribute, please think about that next year! Yes, we will be back! This years’ walk took place November 19-21, 2010.

They will be receiving the new Sense 43 and Sense 50 in the Spring of 2011. Life on board the SENSE is organized around three main living areas, from stem to stern: 1. Exterior living with ample bathing platform, isolated helm position and a cockpit width never seen before. 2. Daytime life in perfect harmony with the exterior: saloon and galley with a 3-step 45 degree companionway entrance. 3. Life after dark at the forward end of the boat: All staterooms and heads forward with all systems aft under the cockpit. The Sense 50 will also have the new “Dock & Go” Joystick maneuvering system, which ties a 360 degree rotating saildrive to her bow thruster. The Dock & Go system allows the driver to move the boat in any direction for easy docking. This new technology for sailboats was introduced at the Fall boat shows and has resulted in many more retail orders than Beneteau expected. In the first boat show of the Fall, 17 retail buyers ordered new Sense 50’s with the Dock & Go option. Here is a link to the demonstration at the Annapolis Boat Show on hull number 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqnvyGUeBmI South Coast Yachts is looking forward to having (and demonstrating) the new Sense 43 and 50 in the 2011 sailing season.

California Yacht Brokers Association • August – October 2010 Sponsored by: Eric Gustafson and Lon Bubeck Law Review Northern California November 2010 Another fabulous turnout at our Law Review seminar held this past November 2010 in Alameda, California. Once again, a big hand of applause goes out to our wonderful and informative panel of speakers that provided us with informative, interactive topics of discussion throughout the day. This highly charged seminar provided many facets of information from a panel of top rated professionals in our industry by offering us insight, support and challenges that test our knowledge and skills. The Legal Seminar provides the forum to interact among highly regarded professionals and peers within the industry and offers a great way to interact and gather facts and information to improve our profession as brokers and salespeople. Miranda Isley and Fahim Buksh with the Department of Boating and waterways were on hand providing case studies, sample complaints and issues the department faces on a daily basis. The department provides this information as a courtesy to the brokers and salespeople to enhance their knowledge and provide them with the tools and education to avoid future conflicts with broker to broker issues and DBW. Our consummate panel of attorneys Earnest Pierucci, David Weil, and Cris Wenthur, was on hand to offer their legal opinions and advise throughout the highly informative day. They provided us with fact finding challenges in our daily business dealings of contracts and negotiations and offering suggestions to keep us out of arms way regarding liability issues, buying and selling in Mexico and few other tidbits to keep us informed. R.J. Lorenzi, Westmar Insurance, gave a presentation regarding, “Are you covered”, myths and realities of broker insurance policies, that information was certainly something that could have gone on for days…this was certainly an area that must be given special attention to, so as a caveat to all brokers be sure you CYA! William E. Krauss, with the Apex Group, the CYBA’s Legislative Advocate gave a brief report from regarding the California state budget and its impact; he also noted that many departments within in the state are in a holding basis until after the November election.

Dean and Dennis provided a question and answer session that was highly interactive and based on real life arbitration cases. The entire group of attendants were given real case scenarios and asked to pick the correct answer or actual out come of each case.
