John Scopazzi is a licensed and insured general contractor and owns Scopazzi Construction where he has led successful projects in Marin for over 25-years. John also owns and runs two local businesses in Sausalito, Five Stars Yacht and Sausalito Bike Return. As a boat captain, John maintains a USCG 100 Ton Master Captain’s License. John serves on the Sausalito Business Advisory Committee and is an active member of the Sausalito Chamber of Commerce and San Rafael Rotary Club. His love for the water comes from his Italian grandfather who migrated to America from Italy in the early 1920’s. Growing up near the Santa Cruz coast, John’s grandfather taught him to fish on a small boat, igniting his passion for the water. Leading the Sausalito Community Boating Center as board chair, John is excited to launch the construction phase of the project and provide opportunities to get people excited and on the water, similar to how he found his passion in a small boat with his grandfather.

A Bay Area native, Raylene Gorum studied architecture at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and in Paris with special studies in New York City, London and Spain. She now focuses these skills toward creating large-scale public art installations. She recently relocated to California and bought a houseboat in Sausalito after selling a popular singing bar, Baby Grand, that she designed, owned and operated in Soho, NYC with her husband. She supports her waterfront community as a Parks and Recreation Commissioner appointed by the City of Sausalito, as a volunteer at Willow Creek Academy, as a member of the Board of Directors with the Sausalito Community Boating Center and through collaborations with Sausalito Beautiful and her live-aboard community at Galilee Harbor.

Steve and his wife live in Mill Valley. A passionate small boat sailor, Steve’s love of the water was fostered by his father, who built two sailboats and introduced him to sailing in Puget Sound. Steve recently acquired his US Sailing Instructor certification and is looking forward to teaching sailing to adults and youth at SCBC. Steve sails his dinghy, ‘Little Wing,’ all over the Bay Area. He strongly believes the public needs more access to water and is excited to be helping the Sausalito Community Boating Center accomplish that goal.

Annette & Mike Dumont are the dynamic husband and wife duo on the Board, representing a wide variety of skills.  They moved to a boat in Sausalito for a change of scenery from San Francisco in 2019, and that decision led them to fall in love with Sausalito’s waterfront community.  They’ve since managed to set down roots on land, and can usually be found in or near Sausalito’s waterfront, sailing with Club Nautique, playing bocce in the town league, and enjoying the paddle boards at the Sausalito Cruising Club.Annette is a lifelong proponent of outdoor activities, volunteerism, education, and being on the water.  She’s currently the Senior Nursery Manager at the Presidio Nursery with Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy where she and her team connect with the community while cultivating plants.  Annette also volunteers as a co-supervisor on a harbor seal rehabilitation crew at the Marine Mammal Centers.  Mike is our treasurer and tech guru, with an eye for streamlining systems and making different functions all work together.  He’s also an avid sailor working toward his captain’s license and instructor certifications.
