It’s hard to believe
that 2014 is almost over.
This year has flown by
way too fast for me.
Our KYC Deckhands
put on an outstanding
Keiki Halloween Party.
Our Kids were enjoying food, face painting,
balloon crafts, and shave ice. I also heard that some
biker dude had our kids hopping skipping and
jumping, hmmmm, I wonder what that was about?
I guess you had to be there. hehe
Also, our Entertainment Committee will be
hosting the Adult Halloween Party on Saturday
November 1st. There will be food, adult beverages
and zombie dancing so come on down.
We have the Joe Cochran Memorial Race on
Sunday, November 02nd at 12:00 PM, this is
always a nice event.
The scuttlebutt around KYC is Cy Gillette Day
and KYC’s 90th Anniversary Party. It will be held
on November 16th, we have a lot of fun things
planned so please come out and enjoy the day.
Don’t forget the General Membership Meeting
on Friday, November 07th at 6:00 PM. Our
nomination committee has proposed a sound slate
of outstanding members to continue serving or join
the Board of Directors and lead our club through
2015.
Looking forward to seeing all of you around
the club or in the water,

This past month our
yacht club was busy
hosting events from fishing
and tennis matches to
regattas for historical
trophies, including the Sir
Thomas Lipton One
Design Challenge Cup and the State Keelboat
Championship. The regular fleet racing included the
season’s first Sunday Bulkhead Regatta October 12th
which also saw our members generously raise over
$3000 to assist our sailor in their first invitation to race
at the San Diego Yacht Club in their Sir Thomas
Lipton Regatta.
Volunteers came out to provide support for all
these events plus our special Deckhands Keiki
Halloween Party. Our Deckhands put on a first class
show with games, rides, food, candy and more…
They go all out in dressing up for this fun event… be
sure to check out the pictures.
November brings a month of very diverse
events. The Joe Cochran Memorial Regatta has fast
become a classic event and annual reminder of this
remarkable Commodore who represented our club
across the country on boards of US Sailing as a
National Race Officer, judge and Area Representative;
at the Hawaii Yacht Racing Association as
Commodore two separate occasions; as a founder and
head of the Hawaii Youth Sailing Association; head
of the Hawaii Sailing Foundation; and as an
international racer. Joe played tennis and partied with
as much enthusiasm as any member – always with a
smile… Thank you Joe!
On the 16th our club celebrates its founding 90
years ago with Cy Gillette Day festivities and the 90th
Anniversary party. We will have speakers, photos and
videos from the past as well as food and music. Plan
on coming out to celebrate and share some memories
at the club… bring your own albums to share. If you
have pictures or videos you would like everyone to
see, you can bring them by the front office and they
can be digitized and shown on the large screen TV. (If
you bring items for scanning, mark them well with
your name and do so before November 7th so we can
get them into the production).
This is the month we as a nation take time to give
thanks for all our blessings. Thanksgiving is most
often spent with family and friends to celebrate the
past year. As you are out travelling please take care,
stay healthy and be safe.
I look forward to seeing you at our events and
enjoying our club’s many activities and facilities.

On September 19
KYC received a formal
invitation from the San
Diego Yacht Club to
challenge for the Sir
Thomas Lipton Challenge
Cup in the 100th running
of this regatta on November 1 - 2. This regatta was
first held in 1903 and has been the most prestigious
trophy contested in Southern California and one of
the most coveted on the West Coast. See the
following link - www.sdyc.org/liptoncup KYC
non-resident member Jeff Brown, now living in San
Diego, contacted Adam Sutton and subsequently
extended a formal invitation to KYC. The BoD
approved accepting this challenge and a crew (Adam
Sutton, Andrew Meade, Eric Aakhus, Jesse Andrews,
Marc Barra, and Philip Katzman) was formed for this
prestigious race. This is the first time any yacht club
in Hawaii has been invited to such a prestigious race.
There will be 12 yacht clubs from all over the US
racing J-105s provided by SDYC. Since the crew
will be paying their own way, a successful fundraiser
was held on Sunday, October 12 after the Bulkhead
Race to help the crew with their expenses – A BIG
THANKS to everyone who attended and contributed.
With the race season winding down (two IRF
races in November) we still have two of our own
prestigious races in November. The Joe Cochran
Memorial Channel Race – Sailing for ALS
Awareness on November 2 and the Cy Gillette Race
on November 16. We will have some interesting ALS
fundraising events for the Joe Cochran Race and after
the Cy Gillette Race we will have the club’s 90th
Hawaii Commodore’s Association is having its
Annual SeaFest (Benefit for the Hawaii Sailing
Foundation) at the Hawaii Yacht Club on November
1 from Noon to 4:00 PM. There will be a Dunk Tank,
Boat Rides, Bake Sale, Silent and Live Auctions.
This is also the time of year when the fleets have
their end of year award banquets and celebrations.
The HYRA Awards Banquet is being held at the
Hawaii Yacht Club on November 15 followed by the
KYC Awards Banquet on December 6.
Haul Out season is also approaching and the
Haul Out fleet will begin their first haul out on
November 15 with 4 haul outs currently planned. The
December 13 haul out will be a three week haul out
and the last haul out is scheduled for January 3. There
will also be two wait-list haul outs if needed on
January 17 and 31. The north bulkhead work area
will be congested so please cautious in that area.
One final reminder, beginning 11/10/2014,
any person operating a power driven vessel on the
waters of the State will be required to possess a
certificate of completion from a NASBLA
approved course on the safe use and operation of a
power driven vessel. This requirement applies to
all vessels with motors greater than 10HP. For
details visit http://www.dlnr.hawaii.gov/dobor/.
There is a free class offered by BoatUS http://www.boatus.org/onlinecourse/Hawaii.asp
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone....

Today’s lesson is about the
Marina Regulations and the
requirement of recording your
quarterly boat trips on the
Movement Log in the office.
The Board of Directors
changed the rules a few years ago to require every vessel,
including kayaks and dinghies, dry or wet moored at the
Club, to complete a trip at least as far as Coconut Island
and back twice in a calendar quarter, but not in the same
month. Kayaks and the like may substitute the Coral Patch
for Coconut Island. They were trying to insure the
increased use of Club moored boats. The penalty for not
signing the Movement Log is $100 for the first incident,
$200 for the second and loss of the slip for the third failure
to sign in any two-year period. There is a mercy provision
in the event something serious happens to you, provided
you notify me ahead of the close of the calendar quarter.
Accounting receives the log upon the closing of the quarter
and it is out of my hands. A letter to the Board of Directors
is the next step, explaining to them why you could not
move the boat twice in the same quarter.
Another reminder, Haul-out season begins November
1, with the set up party and the first haul will be November
15. There will be very limited space in the work area for
smaller boats, so plan your boat maintenance needs
accordingly.
There are 54 shopping days to Christmas. Have fun,
stay safe, and I’ll see you on the water.

club for the 90th Anniversary Party November 16 to see more vintage photos and hear stories from
the past.

Notice of Nomination for Club Officers and Directors 2015
Thomas Wood
Tim Hudson
I was born and raised in the rural countryside of
the Finger Lakes Region of New York State. I have a
Bachelors Degree in Civil Engineering from Union
College, a Masters Degree in Geotechnical
Engineering from the University of Maryland College
Park, and am a licensed professional engineer. I was
commissioned in the United States Navy in 1986
through the Officer Candidate School in Newport,
Rhode Island, and spent over twenty years on active
duty as a Naval Officer, with operational tours with
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion FORTY, the and
31st 30th NATO Headquarters, Armed Forces
Southern Command in Naples Italy, and Naval
Special Warfare Group ONE out of Coronado
California. My last operational deployment was with
Task Force K-BAR to the U.S. Central Command
(Middle East) theater of operations shortly after 9/11.
I also did shore tours in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, Lajes Field, Azores,
and Port Hueneme, California before my last active
duty assignment here at Pearl Harbor in 2002. I
retired from active duty in 2006 rather than take
another assignment on the mainland so that my wife
Sandy Ragley (currently on Membership Committee
and Deckhands Board) and I could make our
permanent home here in Hawaii. Over my career I
have managed dozens of projects with budgets
ranging up to 20 million dollars per project, and led
organizations containing as few as a dozen people to
as many as several hundred. Following retirement
from the Navy, I worked as a Senior Military Analyst
specializing in counter terrorism for a defense
contractor at the U.S. Pacific Command
Headquarters until 2009, when I took my current
position as the Deputy Director of Operations for Joint
Interagency Task Force West also headquartered at
Camp Smith. Sandy and I are currently active power
boaters, although we owned a 27’ Catalina sailboat
while stationed in Puerto Rico and have many fond
memories of sailing in the Caribbean. I have also
been a certified Master Scuba Diver since 1987. I am
deeply honored to have been asked to serve as your
Rear Commodore, and look forward to making a
positive contribution to our wonderful club over the
next four years and beyond.
I have been a Kaneohe Yacht Club member
since 1991 and served on the Board as Treasurer in
2000. That experience left me with the desire to serve
the membership of KYC in another related capacity
when I eventually retired.
I began my nautical experience sailing Cal-20s
in the bay and graduated to Hobies. I enjoyed the
challenges and excitement of sailing, but transitioned
to power boats to pursue other avenues such as
scuba diving and water.
By way of background, I have an undergraduate
degree in Accounting from the University of Maryland
and a graduate degree in Financial Management from
the Naval Postgraduate School. I retired from the
Marine Corps in 1992 after 20 years active duty at the
rank of Lieutenant Colonel. At that time I started my
second career as a civilian employee for the Dept. of
Defense. During the ensuing 20 years I held various
positions including the Director for Accounting,
Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Pearl
Harbor. At the time of my final retirement, I was the
Deputy Comptroller, Marine Forces Pacific.
I reference my education and employment to
demonstrate that I have a broad range of
management experiences and look forward to serving
on the board as a Director and contributing to the
overall governance of OUR club.
Thank you.

Moku pe'a, David Schaefer and Bill Leary enjoying a resort on Bora Bora in
October 2012
Dream Passage
by Bill Leary
Rocky Young and I had a great trip to Vava’u, Tonga in May with
stops in Christmas Island, Suwarrow Atoll, and Niuatoputapu. We had
our share of challenges along the way first with a dead house battery
and then with a stranded headstay, but it didn’t spoil the fun and once
in Vava’u we quickly put Moku pe’a back together.
Vava’u has some of the best calm water cruising on the planet with
sixty islands in a 100 square mile area. Pristine beaches, great
snorkeling and hiking, but what makes Vava’u unique is its community
focus on support for cruising yachts. It is the most cruiser friendly place
I have ever seen.
Rocky enjoyed a couple of weeks of Vava’u’s highlights, and then
Lori Lloyd and I relaxed for a month and a half exploring all of the
nooks and crannies we missed with Rocky. Former KYC member Matt
Dyer and his wife Vicki joined us for two weeks at the end of our stay,
and then Lori and Vicki flew home leaving Matt and I to sail the boat
on the next leg of the journey to Raivavae in the Austral Islands.
Raivavae has long been on my bucket list. It is arguably the most
beautiful island in the South Pacific, and it is seldom visited (You never
heard of it before, have you?). Located 400 miles south of Tahiti, it is
in a remote part of French Polynesia. It is a high island surrounded by
a protected lagoon with fringing motus, much like Bora Bora, but the
mountains are more spectacular. With a population of less than 1000,
it is a sleepy little outpost. There is not a single hotel or restaurant on
Raivavae, just a couple of private homes with bed and breakfast add
ons.
The problem was getting there, 1500 miles to the southeast of
Vava’u against the prevailing southeast tradewinds. I know a delivery
captain who once took forty days sailing a boat from Vava’u to Tahiti.
It’s not a trip for the weak willed.
The ancient Polynesians’ voyaging canoes did not sail well to
windward, yet they were able to make regular eastward voyages in the
tropical South Pacific. They knew that during the winter months the
wind would shift to the west for a few days every week or two, and that
they could ride those westerly winds as far as possible until they’d have
to stop at an island to wait for the next westerly pulse.
8
Matt and Vicki Dyer prepared fabulous meals aboard Moku pe'a August 2014
We know now that the westerly winds occur as a result of low
pressure systems moving to the east through an area south of the tropics.
During winter months these systems move far enough to the north to
influence the winds in the tropics. The clockwise rotation of winds
around the low pressure area produces westerly winds to the north of the
low. Alternating low and high pressure systems roll off the Australian
continent assembly line and migrate east almost weekly. It would be
great if a sailboat heading east could hook into a low pressure system
and ride it all the way to their destination. The problem with that
strategy is that all but the newest, largest, and fastest racing yachts can’t
keep up with a low’s usual speed of movement and get dropped off the
back only to get slammed by the easterly winds to the north of the high
pressure system following the low.
We have great tools now to help us optimize boat positioning to
take advantage of the passing weather systems. Free weather forecasts
in the form of grib files can be easily downloaded daily into Moku pe’a’s
navigation software via our satellite telephone. The models used to
generate the grib files are remarkably accurate up to about a week out,
so every day we receive forecasts for our area of interest for the next
seven days.
Our Tonga departure window opened on August 15 after the girls
left. There was a low approaching, but we would have had to rush to
provision and check out and even then would be late in jumping aboard
the low so we decided to wait for the next one.
Our plan was to use the Polynesian system. Jump on to a low, ride
it as far as we could, then seek shelter and await the next one. We had
possible hiding places penciled in at Beveridge Reef, Aitutaki in the
Cook Islands, and Mopelia at the Western end of the Society Islands. If
the wind wouldn’t cooperate and let us get to Raivavae we would settle
with ending the leg in Bora Bora.
Another low was approaching about a week behind the one we had
just missed. We finished our provisioning and check out and spent our
final evening at anchor in one of the lovely remote and protected spots
that Vava’u is famous for.
The next morning we were off in a fifteen knot easterly wind,
headed south. We needed to get from Vava’u’s 18S down to 22S to take
full advantage of the approaching low’s westerly winds, and heading
nearly ninety degrees from our rumbline easterly course to Raivavae
was the best way to do it. It was also an easier and faster sailing
direction. Twelve hours after departure the wind started to back to the
northeast, as it always does when a high departs and a low is
approaching. We headed up with the wind, cutting the corner, and
Lori Lloyd and Bill Leary saying another goodbye at Fare, Huahine 10-4-2014
hooked in to the low as it passed to the south of us. The gribs indicated
that we might be able to ride this low for about four days. That’s about
600 miles of easting. Pretty good, and then we’d see what happens next.
We decided to push all the way down to 24S to avoid light airs
predicted on the northern edge of the low’s area of influence. Perhaps
we were a bit aggressive in our push south, because we really got
slammed as the low caught up to us. The wind was from the right
direction, southwest, but it was up near thirty knots and seas were
confused and breaking. Uncomfortable, but fast.
While our low pressure system was thrashing us, something
unusual was taking place. The movement of the weather systems to the
east inexplicably slowed down, and we were able to stay with our low
nearly all the way to Raivavae. The daily grib forecasts, which had
predicted unfavorable winds as our low sped away, kept getting revised
as the low’s velocity decreased. By the time we started to feel the ill
effects of the high pressure system that followed our low, southeast
winds, we were safely at anchor in the Raivavae lagoon.
The 1591 mile voyage from Vava’u to Raivavae took less than
eleven days. The first twelve hours of the trip were spent close reaching,
and the last two days were spent on a beam reach. We powered for two
eight hour periods when it was too light to sail. Otherwise the entire trip
was sailed with winds aft of the beam. That’s as much downwind work
as a Transpac race! If I hadn’t experienced it myself I wouldn’t have
believed it possible. Yes, Lady Luck smiled on us. But we also had the
power of knowing how the winds were going to blow, and routed the
boat to take advantage of the most favorable conditions.

International 14 Fleet
Elise Leroux
Congratulations to Tom Pochereva and Shelley
James for taking first place season’s point for the
2nd year in a row!
Six I-14 teams raced this year, but two did not sail
enough races (60% of races completed) to qualify
for season’s points. Adjusted scores for the other
four boats follow. Scoring is based on 1 throw-out
for every 5 races completed. The fleet sailed 27
races, for a total of 5 throw-outs. Because it can be
challenging to make every regatta, the fleet
decided at the start of the season to score DNC as
the highest score of the day +1.
Tom and Shelley edged out Andy and Maureen
Bates by 7 points for 1st place. Frederic and Luca
Berg, sailing their first season in the fleet, edged
out Elise Leroux and Doug Gordon by 6 points for
3rd place.

Todd Ericksen and Doug White didn’t quite make
enough races to qualify for season’s points, but
they had some great races when they did make it
out.
Cecilia Jansson missed a lot of the regattas
because she was busy representing UH in regattas
all over the country. We’re proud of her and look
forward to seeing her in her I-14 more frequently
in future.
Andy Bates was the only fleet member to make
every regatta this year. Way to go, Andy!

Tennis Fleet – October 2014
October is the month for our annual Clare Lang mixed doubles tournament. It is a double
elimination format, which means that there is a path to victory for both the winners and losers of
the early sets, and a team is not eliminated until they have lost twice.
The “lose twice and out” rule was especially important this year. Going into the semi-finals,
Greg and Cindy Siok had not lost a set, and Aaron Phillips and Margaret Peebles had only lost
their set with Greg and Cindy. In the first semi-final set, Aaron and Margaret defeated Greg and
Cindy by a score of 6-0. But that was only the first loss for Greg and Cindy, so the two teams
had to play a final set.
In the final set, Greg and Cindy turned the tables on Margaret and Aaron, defeating them by a
score of 6-2.
(editors note: Above: Aaron is finally
caught on camera committing the
“foot fault” Robbie Reitow has often
accused him of)
Winners Cindy and Greg Siok and Runners-up Margaret Peebles and Aaron Phillips
October ushers in another Tennis Fleet tradition, the Octoberfest evening pot luck dinner.
We feasted on delicious German food and desserts contributed by fleet members.
In a welcome surprise, fleet member Susie Januzzi and husband Dave White graciously invited
fleet members to a Halloween Party at their lovely Beachside Kalaheo home on Saturday,
October 24. Members respond to Evite email electronic invitation.
