Titular head of a yacht club (9)

I believe the answer is:

commodore

(Other definitions for commodore that I've seen before include "Naval rank junior to rear-admiral" , "Naval officer" , "officer, surely?" , "senior officer" , "President of a yacht club" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
