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

yet the Fiddler’s galley answered
the call admirably as always.
It was great to see so many
friendly faces, including many
who traveled down from Orange
County for the evening’s festivities.
The Broker’s Forum would like to
take this opportunity to thank the
following sponsors (below) who
made this evening a possibility.
Thank you all again for your

Happy Holidays to each and
every member of the CYBA and
their families. 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

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. Please call Jack in
confidence @ 619-778-2998.
IMMEDIATE OPENING
for experienced salesperson.
Well established brokerage,

date is perfect to maybe book an extra day on board
and make this a Valentines Day celebration. There is
a flyer in this newsletter that provides more detailed
information so be sure to make your reservations
early registration ends 12/30/10.
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.

Nauti-Boobs Tops Previous
Year’s Donations
With donations reaching a lofty $23,609, your
CYBA Team Nauti-Boobs has surpassed all of their
previous years’ donations. Captain Marc Bay (no, not
a USCG Capt) is extremely proud of our 2010 team.
They worked very hard preparing for the 3-day 60
mile walk as well as beating the bushes for donations.
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. Friday was a beautiful San Diego day but the
great walking weather went away and the team
ended up getting drenched Saturday and got more of
the same Sunday morning. They did learn a valuable
lesson for Sunday, coming back better prepared for

Along The Waterfront
Jay Bernstein of South Coast Yachts, the San Diego Beneteau dealer won the "Rookie of the Year"
award from Beneteau USA which included a trip to
the Paris Boat Show in December. In his first year
selling new Beneteaus, Jay sold more boats in dollar
volume than any other first or second year salesman
in the Beneteau Dealer Network of over 35 North
American dealers.
Jay is seen here with his father receiving his
award in Paris. "It is an honor and a lot of fun to
work with Jay here at South Coast Yachts" said Barrett Canfield, President of SCY. "Jay did an incredible
job this year and his customers love his attention
to detail and professionalism." Among other new
Beneteaus, Jay delivered the $1.1 million Beneteau
58 "Hawaiian Sol" to a very happy San Diego sailor.
South Coast Yachts will show this beautiful new 58
at the San Diego Sunroad Boat Show in January.

South Coast Yachts in San Diego is now offering the new Sense range of live aboard cruising
sailboats from Beneteau. 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:

South Coast Yachts is looking forward to having

the 2011 sailing season. For more about the new

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.
Finally… our seminar concluded with “YOU MAKE
THE CALL”, Dean West, Director with the California
Yacht Brokers Association and Dennis Moran,
Chairman for the Ethics and Arbitration committee.
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.
