The Hoofer Sailing Club Bylaws state that the commodore shall:

"inform the general membership of the Sailing Club of all decisions of the Board of Captains by posting the minutes of all meetings of the Board of Captains on the Sailing Club bulletin board."

Um, where are those then..? They weren't posted on any bulletin board that we could find. Perhaps the website qualifies these days, but the minutes aren't there either. Oh wait.... the Bylaws don't specify when the minutes have to be posted. Does that mean they can be posted 20 years from now..?! Would that be "keeping the general membership informed?

It's disturbing that the commodore can violate rules as he pleases with no consequences whatsoever. (unless corrupt Union managers are targeting him, but that's another story). Yet, when other club members violate even the tiniest rule, they get cornholed. (that is, unless they happen to be buddies with the commodore).
