Sailing's public record, made legible. All numbers come directly from this organization's own sworn 990 filing. Patterns are computed from years of filings — not assessments or judgments.
Read trends in context: compare like with like, note the filing year, and treat major disruptions (like 2020–2021) as discontinuities rather than a continuous baseline.
Missing or N/A does not always mean absent. It can mean the item was not disclosed on that form, not collected on that filing type, or not available for that year.

Officers & Key Staff (Part VII)
How to read this section
This is not a full staff directory. It is the subset of people the organization had to disclose in Form 990, Part VII (the officer, director, trustee, key employee, and highest-compensated employee section of the filing). Why this matters: a missing name does not mean a person was not employed or involved.
Total Volunteer Board Hours/Week (Selected Year): 45
Hours per week are self-reported by each officer on Form 990, Part VII. They are not verified.
Officers and directors as reported on Form 990, Part VII. These are typically unpaid, elected positions. If an officer receives compensation, it will appear in the Paid Staff tab.
Operationally, this section is most useful for understanding disclosed leadership structure, compensation visibility, and board labor — not for reconstructing the full staffing model of a club.
| Name | Title | Hours/Week | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| DANIEL CRANDALL | BOARD MEMBER | 5 | Volunteer |
| ROBERT POWER JR | TREASURER | 5 | Volunteer |
| KEVIN KRAELING | SECRETARY | 5 | Volunteer |
| STEPHEN MIZNER | BOARD MEMBER | 5 | Volunteer |
| MARK STEVENS | BOARD MEMBER | 5 | Volunteer |
| JAMIE HORNSTEIN | BOARD MEMBER | 5 | Volunteer |
| E MAX WEISS | BOARD MEMBER | 5 | Volunteer |
| ROGER GILDEA | PRESIDENT | 5 | Volunteer |
| AMY RECTENWALD | IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT | 5 | Volunteer |
Governance & Transparency Signals
The IRS Form 990 is a sworn disclosure document — not just a tax return. Beyond financials, it captures governance policies, compensation practices, and relationships between insiders and the organization. Every category below comes directly from that filing. When a field is blank, it is often because this form type doesn’t require it, or the org doesn’t meet the threshold that triggers disclosure. That context is itself worth knowing.
Conflict of Interest Policy
Form 990, Part VI — Line 12a
No conflict of interest policy reported. Without one, there is no documented mechanism for identifying when a board member has a personal financial stake in a decision — or for recusing them when they do. The IRS doesn’t legally require this policy, but its absence is a factor they weigh when scrutinizing excess benefit transactions. Most volunteer-run clubs handle conflicts informally; a formal policy matters most when the stakes — contract size, executive pay, vendor selection — get larger.
Whistleblower Protection Policy
Form 990, Part VI — Line 13
No whistleblower protection policy reported. Without a documented process, a staff member or volunteer who notices irregular transactions has no protected channel to report it — and no written assurance they won’t face consequences for raising the issue. The IRS added this question in 2008 following Sarbanes-Oxley. Absence does not imply wrongdoing; many small clubs haven’t formalized this in writing even when informal norms are healthy.
Officer & Key Employee Compensation (Part VII)
Form 990, Part VII — Named individuals with reportable compensation
Part VII requires individual disclosure of all officers, directors, trustees, key employees, and the five highest-compensated employees earning above the reporting threshold. The individuals listed here are from the most recent available filing.
| Name | Title | Comp from Org |
|---|---|---|
| JUDSON HUNTER | GENERAL MANAGER | $141,567 |
| JUDSON HUNTER | GENERAL MANAGER | $134,883 |
| JUDSON HUNTER | GENERAL MANAGER | $128,960 |
| SANDRA HUNTER | ASSISTANT MANAGER | $127,076 |
| SANDRA HUNTER | ASSISTANT MANAGER | $121,977 |
| SANDRA HUNTER | ASSISTANT MANAGER | $117,121 |
| JUDSON HUNTER | GENERAL MANAGER | $114,362 |
| JUDSON HUNTER | GENERAL MANAGER | $107,931 |
Compensation shown is reportable compensation from this organization only, as disclosed in Part VII. The $150,000 threshold is significant context: most volunteer-run sailing clubs report $0 for all officers. When professional staff — a General Manager, Executive Director, or Harbor Master — earns above that level, it signals an org operating more like a business than a volunteer collective. That’s not inherently good or bad: a $12M club with 45 full-time employees may well need a $200K GM. But a $400K club paying its Commodore $180K warrants scrutiny.
Independent Compensation Consultant
Schedule J, Part I — Organizations filing when comp exceeds $150K
Schedule J not required for this organization.
Schedule J is only filed when at least one individual in Part VII received more than $150,000 in total compensation. This organization doesn’t meet that threshold, so this schedule is not required. Among the 35.7% of organizations in this corpus that do file Schedule J, 35.7% used an independent compensation consultant. When Schedule J IS required, this question asks whether the board hired an outside firm — unconnected to the organization — to benchmark executive pay against market rates. It reduces the risk that a board approves whatever the ED requests rather than what comparable organizations actually pay.
Equity-Based Compensation
Schedule J, Part II — Per-person compensation detail
Schedule J not required for this organization.
Related-Party Transactions (Schedule L)
Schedule L — Transactions with Interested Persons (officers, directors, their families, controlled entities)
Schedule L requires disclosure of loans, grants, and business transactions between the organization and its own insiders — board members, officers, key employees, and their family members or entities they control. Nonprofits are not prohibited from transacting with insiders, but they must disclose it, follow fair-market-value standards, and document that the transaction benefited the organization, not just the insider. These disclosures exist because self-dealing is the most direct way nonprofit assets can flow to those in control.
No related-party transactions found in our data for this organization. Schedule L is only required when transactions occur — absence means none were reported, not necessarily that none occurred.

IRS Source Filings
Source filings are IRS e-file records in XML (Extensible Markup Language) format — a structured data standard used by the IRS for electronic filing. If you open one of these links, it will look like code. That's not an error — that's what XML looks like. Harbor Commons processes this raw XML and presents the structured, readable view you see above.
Why this matters: the XML is the receipt. Harbor Commons is the reading layer on top of that receipt. If you ever need to verify a number, wording choice, or disclosure, the source filing is where to check.

Capacity Signals
Auto-detected patterns from this organization's own IRS filing history. Signals are relative to this org's trend only — not peer comparisons, not judgments.
Private clubs are naturally labor-heavy. Always interpret signals against this organization's own context before drawing conclusions.
Capacity squeeze
Revenue grew 26% over two years (TY2022–TY2024) while inflation-adjusted labor costs grew less than 5% and headcount held steady — the organization is doing significantly more with the same team.
Why it matters: Sustained capacity squeeze can signal volunteer or staff burnout, deferred investment in people, or a gradual outsourcing of work to contractors not visible in Part IX.
Operator question: Did volunteers absorb the additional workload, or did program scope and service hours actually grow proportionally?
Revenue per employee rose sharply
Revenue per employee grew 42% over two years (TY2022–TY2024), well above typical inflation. This can reflect genuine revenue growth, reduced staffing relative to revenue, or a one-time revenue event.
Why it matters: High revenue per employee can reflect operational efficiency — or understaffing. The program model and revenue mix should be checked before drawing conclusions.
Operator question: Did the revenue base change (new programs, dues increase, capital campaign receipt), or did staffing fall behind revenue growth?
Phase 2 signals (contractor substitution, benefits share changes) require Part IX line-level data and are not yet available. All computations use IRS-filed data only; no external benchmarks or CPI adjustments beyond a 3% per year inflation proxy.
