Commodores’ Messages

Michael Moradzadeh Commodore Pacific Cup Aloha Pacific Cup Racers, “There is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats,” declared Rat famously to Mole over a century ago in The Wind in the Willows. For the scores of boats in our 2010 race, and the hundreds of friends, crew, and volunteers making the race a reality, this notion has been proven true once again. I’ve been honored to participate in this grand “messing about” as your Commodore for 2009-2010. Working with our volunteers on both sides of the Pacific to make this the best Pacific Cup it can be. Starting with your Pacific Cup Yacht Club board and its cloud of dedicated supporters, we’ve looked at each aspect of the race, carrying on what is great, tweaking what might stand improvement, and fixing whatever breaks or is near breaking. New for 2010 are an all-electronic signup system, an experimental telephone check-in system, more reliable tracking, and a more broadly examined ratings base. Each of these innovations has been the outcome of an effort by crewmembers showing a personal dedication to the race and its shared goals. In this way, it’s sort of like getting the boat ready to cross the Pacific … only drier. But cross the Pacific we shall; back to the welcoming shore at Kaneohe where the hundreds of volunteers at Kaneohe Yacht Club are already working to make our finishes and arrivals memorable and pleasant. From round-the-clock radio monitoring, to party planning and decorations, to the greeting “leis and trays (of Mai Tais),” the KYC volunteers embody the spirit of Aloha. To paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, every Pacific Cupper has two yacht clubs, his own and Kaneohe. Our roster of sponsors and supporters helps make this race a stronger event: Passage Yachts, Sausalito Marine Electrical Shop, Weems and Plath, Svendsen’s Boat Works, Sierra Nevada Brewery, KKMI, Mount Gay Rum, Pineapple Sails, Financial Transaction Services, and Coffees of Hawaii. More supporters and sponsors are joining us as of this writing, and we thank them in advance. Of course, the main supporters that cannot go un-thanked are our family members who either came along, helped, met us at the dock (“nothing goes to weather like a 747”), or quietly, in ways that need not be shouted about, and helped make this dream a reality. Whether driving through a first midnight squall or reheating that frozen home-cooked lasagna, a sailor’s thoughts will often turn to those at home who helped to make this happen. By the time you read this, we’ll be close to the start, or will have already commenced the race. We’ll do our utmost to see that the experience is safe, fun, and competitive. As of this writing, something over 60 boats have active entries, and around 400 crew are enrolled. Some must drop out, and some may turn back. All will have challenged themselves and their equipment, and all will have done something that gives them a new sense of accomplishment and self-perception. Maybe there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half as much worth doing as that.

Matt Darnell Commodore Kaneohe Yacht Club Aloha, I would like to welcome you to Kaneohe Yacht Club, on the windward side of the beautiful island of Oahu. I would like to extend to you greetings from our club, with its majestic views of the Koolau Mountains. One thing that makes our club special is that we pride ourselves in being a family club. I encourage all competitors to bring their families to Hawaii to join them after the race. Kaneohe Yacht Club is a wonderful place to relax and unwind after a challenging race across the Pacific. Whether your desires are to sip Mai Tais at the bar, play some tennis, or just lounge around the pool, the members and staff will do all they can to make you and your family feel welcome and will enjoy our Hawaiian hospitality. While your host committees have planned a full week of events to keep you in the Hawaiian spirit, you would be remiss if you did not take some time to explore Kaneohe Bay, spend a day at the world famous “sand bar,” or just drive around the picturesque windward side of our island. Should you need directions or some suggestions for a day trip, just ask at the Pacific Cup information desk located in the lounge area and they will be more than willing to help. While our island is small, there is much to see and do, and if you are still looking for some excitement, a short drive over the mountain will have you in Waikiki in less than half an hour. And if you haven’t had enough sailing, join the KYC Bulkhead Fleet for an exciting Thursday night race on the bay. Sign up in advance and our race committee will get you a starting time. The Commodores, Board of Directors, members and staff of Kaneohe Yacht Club wish you a safe and speedy crossing. Our escort boats will be at the finish line to guide you through the reefs to a safe mooring, a lei greeting and appropriate adult beverages for those who choose to partake. We also look forward to sharing your exciting sea stories from the 2010 Pacific Cup Yacht Race. Aloha

The History of the Pacific Cup by Louis Ickler and Michael Moradzadeh

Early Races: Ballena Bay to Nawiliwili

I

I n January 1979, Hal Nelson approached Ballena Bay Yacht Club Commodore Vytas Pazemenas with the idea of starting a low-key, fun race for fully-crewed boats from San Francisco to Hawaii. The first single-handed race to Hawaii had just been successfully completed the previous summer, and the club had a nucleus of members interested in ocean racing, so the timing appeared to be right. Berthing in the islands was tight, but a workable finish location seemed to be Nawiliwili on the southeast corner of Kauai. With the support of a small but enthusiastic group of volunteers from the Nawiliwili Yacht Club a finish line was found. This small group of six put the race together originally, but interest increased rapidly and more volunteers showed up. Forty yachts started the first Pacific Cup Race on June 15, 1980. This was one of our roughest races to Hawaii and only 32 of the boats finished. The three Santana 35s in the race all had damage to their rudders during the first several days. Friendship was picked up by a Navy ship and Raccoon Straights returned to San Francisco with water pouring in a cracked rudder bearing, leaving Wild Hair the only Santana to finish in Hawaii. The 63-foot yawl Corsair retired from the race and was lost on a shoal on her way back. After the rough weather of the first few days, the winds diminished and only Merlin, the 67-foot Lee Custom, had the speed to outrun the highpressure area, which moved down on the rest of the fleet. She reached Nawiliwili more than four days ahead of the rest of the fleet, to win first-to-finish as well as first-on-corrected-time. In 1982, the competition intensified among the big boats, although the number of boats racing under the International Ocean Racing (IOR) rule had declined to eight boats from 13 in 1980. Merlin was there again and beat her previous record by 1 hour and 28 minutes in elapsed time but was only able to place sixth on corrected time. The race was won by Temptress, a Swede 55, in the PHRF division and overall, with Zamazaan winning the IOR division. In 1984 Merlin again beat her old record and set a new record in elapsed time for the Pacific Cup of 9 days, 7 hours and 49 minutes. The winners on corrected time were Surefire in the IOR division and Magic Carpet in PHRF. In the newly added doublehanded division, Light’n Up won, arriving only six hours behind Magic Carpet.

In 1986 Merlin again set a new elapsed time record of 8 days, 14 hours, 53 minutes, followed by Swiftsure III only 40 minutes later, and Charley less than six hours later. Magic Carpet won on corrected time in 11 days, 9 hours while Sweet Okole won the IOR division and the Pacific Cup as well.

Reorganization: PCYC is started and a new finish is found By the end of the 1986 race the Pacific Cup was well established. The attraction of the Pacific Cup as a race for cruisers as well as racers, and as the only offshore race out of San Francisco, made it increasingly popular. However, the Ballena Bay Yacht Club was finding it more difficult to administer what was turning into a major event with volunteer help - especially in a club with a number of competing activities. The 1986 race had taxed the facilities of the Nawiliwili harbor as well, and a number of sailors had begun to talk about some other finishing point in Hawaii. It began to look as if the race might fade away unless someone could organize a committed group to keep it going. At this point George Barrett got involved, and on August 4, 1987, he assembled a number of sailors, in an organizational meeting at St. Francis Yacht Club. With the support of some leading participants from prior races and the Ballena Bay Yacht Club, he drafted the Articles of Incorporation for a new club. The Pacific Cup Yacht Club, whose function would be to take over the organization of the race, was born. One of the first items of business was the choice of a new finish line. Talks with Kaneohe Yacht Club, one of the three principal clubs on Oahu that handle the finish of the Transpac race from Los Angeles, led to the important and happy choice of Kaneohe as the new finish line. George R. Barrett had sailed the race as the chartering skipper of Charley, a Holland 67, which won third place in 1986. Although he looked forward eagerly to doing the 1988 race, his health began to deteriorate, and when the boat he wanted to charter was committed to another race, he ran the race from the shore. He ran it well. It was George that made the 1988 race the first Pacific Cup with a major sponsor, West Marine, the first to be governed by a yacht club set up solely for the purpose of running this race, and the first to have Kaneohe Bay as a destination. George died in the fall of 1988, but the Pacific Cup continues as a living memorial to him.


In 1988 winds were lighter than usual at 15 to 22 knots and the seas were smooth. With the Pacific High stretched out in an east-west oval, boats that started out on the rhumb line soon began to fear that they were too close to the high, and by the fourth day most boats had turned more to the south. The winner on corrected time was Saraband, a Westsail 32 that had sailed a consistent pace for 14 days, 17 hours elapsed time, an amazing feat in relatively light winds. Second and third places went to the veteran boats Wild Goose and Magic Carpet, while Kathmandu took first in IOR after her competition got caught too far north and suffered from light winds.

Hitting our Stride The 1990 race had generally nice conditions except for light wind the first few days. We had a number of firsts, such as staggered starts over a four-day period and a record number of entries that peaked at 53, with 45 actually crossing the starting line. The idea of using staggered starts was to have most of the fleet sailing in the same weather conditions and for all entrants to finish within a few days of each other. Hopefully this would result in a fairer, closer, and more fun race. All in all, the new format was a great success. Most entrants finished within three days of each other and the first five boats overall represented all four crewed classes. In fact, the first three boats overall represented a complete range of sailboat types with first being an ultralight, second a medium displacement racercruiser, and third a heavy displacement cruiser. The first three boats overall in order of finish were Oaxaca (Santa Cruz 50), Heart of Gold (Schumacher 50) and Saraband (Westsail 32). The 1992 race continued to grow: 46 boats starting and 43 finishing. The first start was windy and the next starts were very slow. Overall, the race was relatively fast. It proved to be a rhumb line race because the high was quite far north. Some boats successfully chose a great circle route. The two largest boats in the race (ultralight 70’s) were doublehanded. The smallest boat in the fleet, Team Bonzi, a Moore 24, did a sweep, taking both the doublehanded and the Pacific Cup trophy. Fleet second place went to Ghost, a Morgan 38 from Kaneohe.

The 1994 race saw records fall. First, an all-time high of 58 boats participated. Second, 52 finished, and third, Steve Rander’s Rage broke Merlin’s long standing elapsed time record of 8 days, 11 hours and 1 minute by finishing it in 8 days, 7 hours and 13 minutes. Probably another first was a proposal of marriage during one morning’s roll call. The small boats dominated the corrected time standings, with Bill and Melinda Erkelen’s homebuilt Dogpatch 26, Moonshine, winning overall, Division B and the Double-handed class. Chimera, an Express 27, took second and the Olson 25, Siva, took third in the fleet. The starting conditions for the 1996 Pacific Cup were a repeat of 1992. The first day saw the boats blasting away from the coast, while the next three divisions were wondering if they would ever make it past the Farallones. Conditions were right for Rage, which broke her own record of 8 days, 7 hours set in 1994 with a new record of 7 days 22 hours. Not only did the speed record fall, a record 60 continued on pg 10

boats made it to Kaneohe. Among them was Illusion, a tried-andtrue California-to-Hawaii veteran Cal 40, sailed by Stan Honey and Sally Lindsay, who captured the overall corrected time honors and led a double-handed sweep of the fleet. The Moore 24 Kangaroo Court took second overall, followed by the Custom 27 Wildflower. In 1998 the speed record was demolished by Roy Disney’s boat Pyewacket as she took more than a full day off the record, finishing in 6 days, 14 hours, and 23 minutes. Pacific Cup veteran Bob Nance won first on handicap in Water Pik a Newport 30. The 2000 race was slow – so slow that several boats floated around the Farallones for three days in the early part of the race and 27 of the 80 boats entered did not finish within the time limit. The winner was Octavia, a Santa Cruz 50, with a remarkable elapsed time of 10 days, 12 ½ hours. In 2002 the race was in more normal weather, with almost all the boats finishing within a few days of each other. Skip Allan on Wildflower, proving that experience (over 25 ocean passages) does count, not only won the double-handed division but also came in first overall. In 2004 the start was more nerve-wracking. The day before the first start, the weather service issued gale warnings for the area of the Farallones, which proved overly pessimistic. The race was marked by uneventful weather after that, with the high filling in after the first two days and making it a slow race. The overall winner was Winnetou, Division A was won by Ghost, the author’s Morgan 38 (18 years after her first Pacific Cup race) and Eyrie won doublehanded with an elapsed time of 14 days and 4 hours. In 2006 the race was slow again. The position of the high, and

to where it was moving, made it a guessing game. Most boats tried a course close to the rhumb line, but after the first few days changed their minds and tried to go south. It took 9 to 12 days for most of the boats to finish and after 15 days there were still 9 boats that had not finished. First place went to Lightning, with an elapsed time of 9 days, 3 hours, 5 minutes. ET, with a resident naval architect on board, was second. In a tribute to the handicappers, four of the five crewed divisions had a boat in the top ten finishers. California Girl won the prize for the first boat to sail the one million miles of Pacific Cup. The 2008 race saw a return to near-capacity entry lists, with almost 70 entries. Every monohull that entered started and every boat that started finished. Relatively benign weather kept most boats’ performances to a moderate average except for Philippe Kahn’s Pegasus which set a new double-handed record of just over 7 days, 15 hours. Double-handed Division One held the most drama, with Joby Easton on RainDrop winning division and the overall Pacific Cup, and Ed and Earlinda Polkenhorn, aboard Neptune’s Daughter, travelling rather slowly, but greeted at the docks by the entire fleet who took time from the awards party to sing “Happy Birthday” to Earlinda. Second overall was Sleeping Dragon, a Hobie 33, and third was Sapphire a Synergy 1000. Several new trophies were introduced in 2008, including “Fastest Family Afloat” won by the Rasmussens of Sapphire, and the yacht club Team Trophy, won by Encinal Yacht Club. It’s still too early to guess the weather for 2010, but a look at the list of entries makes it clear that from smaller-than-ever 21-footers, to heavy cruisers, to sleds, this will be another great race with something for every entrant. Truly “THE FUN RACE TO HAWAII.”

Pacific Cup 2008

“The Cayard Family Adventure” By Paul Cayard

S

Sailing from California to Hawaii has to be one of the best passages on the planet. In particular, the route from San Francisco to Hawaii offers a nonstop downwind ride where each day is better than the one before as the temperature warms and the trade wind sky and sea lead you to paradise. In 2008, I fulfilled a long time dream by racing with my two children and some of their friends to Hawaii in the Pacific Cup. Sailing around the world a few times had shown me the rewards which come from offshore sailing. I wanted to expose my children to that valuable experience at a much younger age than I had first encountered it. The sense of accomplishment and selfreliance that one experiences in sailing from point to point are life-long assets. I had dreamed of this adventure for several years, but work always seemed to prevent me from having the time to do it. Finally in 2008, I just decided to make it happen. I turned down some work opportunities that summer and that led to an experience that was far more valuable that the missed remuneration. I decided I wanted a fairly comfortable yet fast boat in order to accommodate the diverse interests we had among the crew (six people under the age of 22 and two older adults). I knew the Santa Cruz boats had a great reputation in that regard and with their age, a good boat could be acquired for around $200K. I checked a few out and settled on a SC50 named “Hula Girl” which had previously belonged to friends of mine from San Francisco, Bill and Paula LeRoy, under the name “Gone with the Wind.” Hula Girl was in Newport Beach, so over Easter break, my son Danny, a friend of his, Scott Lynch, a friend of mine Chris Gillum and I went to Newport and began bringing her to San Francisco. We encountered too much wind at Point Conception and the boat sat in Santa Barbara for a few weeks until Chris found a weather window to finish up the delivery. In San Francisco, our preparation for the race consisted of working on the boat at KKMI, taking a few practice weekends, and finally a short offshore sail just weeks before the start to get everyone used to the watches and check the systems onboard, like the water maker. Being a round the world sailor, I am particular about the drinking water onboard, so the first thing I did was to purchase a Spectra water maker and have it installed. We did a few other jobs on the boat; like adding a Harken pedestal to make the trimming of the

asymmetrical kites more efficient and fun, installing pipe berths in the starboard quarter berth for more comfortable sleeping, replacing the stove/oven with a light weight, two burner stove and adding five new Quantum sails. The boat already had a two foot scoop extension, a “T keel,” and bulb package that made it a dream to steer in a big breeze. The short offshore sail - two days - was extremely valuable to our mostly virgin offshore crew. It gave them insight as to what it would be like to be on the boat for nine days and took away a lot of the anxiety that can precede an offshore voyage. The boat came with a life raft, but it was old and I had decided I would rent a raft to insure I had the latest equipment in case the worst should come to pass. My two children and I had attended one of the Safety Seminars at Cal Maritime and I have completed a couple of serious safety training courses as part of the Whitbread and Volvo training. So, I thought it would be good to use the old raft as part of our training. We took it home one afternoon after sailing and with the whole crew around the swimming pool, we threw it in the pool while it was tethered to a fence post. Everyone got to see what happens and what is inside. We flipped it upside down and practiced righting it. A lot of fun and a good experience for all. One of the final things we did was to have a paramedic


give us a two-hour session on how to treat injuries and sickness at sea. This was great for all of us and, again, reduced the anxiety, as we knew we were prepared for even unpleasant occurrences. With this preparation, we were ready for the ride of our lives. The 2008 race was actually pretty fast. The great moments were too numerous to relate. Probably the best was the expression of joy and satisfaction on the kids’ faces the last morning of the race as the sun rose and exposed Molokai in the distance. Anyone who has sailed a long passage knows the feeling that comes when land is sighted; the sense of warmth and accomplishment and joy. What a powerful feeling! Sailing has given me a lot. The 2008 Pacific Cup is the race that probably is the most important of my life for the moments and memories it created with my kids. The Cayard’s won’t be participating this year but I wish all those who do a fun and safe race.

Weather Routing By Stan Honey

The three portions of the Pacific Cup:

Stan Honey has navigated in twenty two transpacific races, finishing first ten times. As navigator, Stan has set the single-handed, doublehanded, and fully-crewed passage records for monohulls to Hawaii. In 1996, Stan and Sally (Lindsay Honey) won the Pacific Cup overall, sailing their Cal 40, Illusion, doublehanded. Stan was the navigator on ABN AMRO ONE, which won the 2005-2006 Volvo Ocean Race around the world. Stan recently navigated Groupama 3, which set the Jules Verne record for the unlimited circumnavigation of the world under sail in 2010.

It is helpful to think of the Pacific Cup in three sections: 1. The windy reach to the ridge 2. “Slotcars” through the middle third; and 3. The run for the last third...

Overall race structure and necessary decisions The primary feature that determines the tactics in a transpacific race is the Pacific High. Typically there is no wind in the center of the high, and increasing wind as you get farther south, up to a limit. The central question concerning course selection is: how close to sail to the high, or how many extra miles to sail to get farther from the high? In years when the Pacific High is weak (or weakening) and positioned well south, there can be strikingly more wind to the south. There have been transpacific races where yachts that are 10 miles to the south of competitors can experience one knot more wind. An ultra-lightdisplacement-maxi (sled), in one knot more wind will sail 1/2 knot faster, and therefore would gain 12 miles per day on the northern competitor. Smaller uldb’s will similarly gain from the additional wind. Although the gain is less for heavier boats, it is still a significant factor. This condition can persist for the entire middle third of the race. Note that all yachts in this middle third of the race are nearly fetching the finish on starboard pole, so the boats caught too far north cannot jibe out of their predicament without sailing a dramatically unfavored angle, and passing far astern of the competitors to the south. Occasionally, however, the Pacific High will be strong (or strengthening), and located far to the north. In these conditions, it IS possible to be too far south. The boats that sail closer to the high will not only get more wind, but will sail the shorter distance. Typically in these sorts of years, the wind stays “reachy” throughout the middle third of the race, so the boats that paid extra distance to get south cannot even “cash in” the southing and reach up in front of the northern boats, because everyone is reaching fast.

The start and exit from the Bay Get a comfortable start. It is senseless to risk a foul or collision at the start of a 2000 mile race, so consider starting 15 to 30 seconds late. The start is generally scheduled for an ebb tide, so this discussion will make that assumption. Tack shortly after the start, and take long tacks across the center of the bay in order to stay in the favorable current. Pass under the bridge at mid-span. After clearing Seal Rocks the wind velocity will reduce and the wind will begin to veer. As you free your sheets you need to work out your overall race tactics; the course that you select for the first night and the next day will determine your tactics for the rest of the race.

16 Pacific Cup 2010

The Pacific High nearly always has a ridge extending from its southeast corner. On the weather map this is visible as a “U” shape in the isobars on the southeast corner of the high. After leaving coastal waters, you will have a windy reach for a couple of days, depending on your yacht’s speed, but when you get to the ridge, the wind will lighten and veer very quickly. Within 6 hours after you initially set the spinnaker, the wind will lift and you will be running on your downwind polars in much lighter air. You just crossed the ridge. The most critical decision of the Pacific Cup is where to cross the ridge. The reason this is critical is, once you get to the ridge and the wind comes back, you can not get farther south. It never pays to sail lower than your polars, and you can not jibe (onto the dramatically unfavored port pole) without huge penalty. That is why the middle third of the race is called “slotcars.” As you left the coast you made your decision where you wanted to cross the ridge, you sailed there, and now you have to live with it for four or five days. If you are too far to the north, you will be slowly destroyed by the yachts to the south of you, and there is nothing that you can do about it; you cannot jibe (without huge penalty), and you should not sail lower than your polars. If you are substantially too far north, you will experience torture. As the wind gets lighter, your polars force you to sail higher and higher, until you “spin out” up into the high. If you have to jibe to avoid total calm, your angle on port pole will have you heading due south, far behind your competitor’s transoms. The “slotcars” leg ends when the wind eventually veers far enough so that both jibes are symmetrical around the course to the finish, allowing you to sail either jibe. The final third of the race is “the run.” This is why we sail Pacific Cups. The wind picks up as you approach the Islands, and you get to practice your helmsmanship surfing tradewind swells. Generally the right hand side of the course is favored in the final third of the race, because the wind slowly veers as you sail west. In the final third of the race the wind speed is generally even across the course. Oddly, the boats that get too far north in the middle of the race, and stew about it for 3-4 days, often jibe onto port as soon as they can, sailing to the south when there is no longer a wind speed advantage. These boats then miss the right shift in the last third of the race and lose even more. Instead, favor starboard pole until you can nearly lay the Islands, and then approach Oahu on port pole. Be sure to account for the fact that the wind will continue to veer, and do not overstand Kaneohe. One way to avoid overstanding is to plot a waypoint that is 60-100 miles directly upwind of the finish and jibe onto port pole when you can lay that waypoint. The wind will continue to shift to the right, so that when you actually cross the line that is upwind of the finish you may find that you are substantially closer to Kaneohe than your initial waypoint.


Approaching the Finish Arrange your final jibe or two so that you pass 10 miles due upwind of the finish. Then sail half the remaining distance on starboard pole, and then make your final 5 mile approach on port pole. As you approach the finish, plot your track on the chart, and take GPS fixes as well as periodic bearings with your hand bearing compass. The finish buoy is hard to see. The best technique is to plot your position and navigate to the finish, rather than expect to see the buoy. It’s not even worth looking for the buoy until you navigate to within about one half mile of it.

In the daytime take bearings on: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Mokapu (the turtle’s head) The giant ping pong balls near Pyramid Rock (labeled “radomes” on chart) Makapuu (the left edge of Oahu) Pyramid Rock (white house with diagonal stripes on conical rock)

At night take bearings on: 1. Molokai light, range 28 miles, loom visible 60 miles (flashing 10s) 2. Makapuu light (occulting 10s) 3. Marine AeroBeacon, sometimes obscured (alt green/white or red/white) 4. Pyramid Light (occulting 4s, if you don’t know what “occulting” means then refresh your coastal piloting skills) Remember that the reef is only 0.8 miles beyond the finish line, so douse your spinnaker promptly. If for some reason you have trouble dousing your spinnaker, jibe onto starboard and sheet your mainsail hard. If you can maintain a beam reach, even with the kite flogging in the rigging, you will stay clear of the reef.

Squalls Typically, you will get tradewind squalls for the last three or four nights of the race. They only occur at night, starting about midnight and continuing and strengthening until dawn. If there is a moon, the squalls are visible for miles because of their incredible height. If there is no moon, you can often detect squalls behind you by watching for the absence of stars. If you have radar, squalls are easily detectable. Each squall on a given night will behave almost exactly like its predecessor, except it will be a little stronger. So “go to school” on each squall in order to sort out how to best take advantage of the next one. If one squall provided more fun than you really wanted, douse the kite and wing out a jib for the next one. If a squall is approaching, and you get rain before the wind, prepare for lots of wind. At dawn the squalls vanish, but leave calm zones around and particularly behind them. These calm zones are worth taking great care to avoid. The comments below assume normal right shifting squalls. Occasionally there will be a night of squalls with no wind shifts in them, or even with left shifts. The following characterizations are very typical, but the best prediction of what you will experience in a squall is the experience you had in the previous squall the same night.

In contrast to popular perception, squalls do not generally work the way “catspaws” do. Catspaws have diverging wind in front of them. Surprisingly, tradewind squalls often have converging winds at their leading edge. The wind converges because there is an updraft in front of the squall. In addition, the average wind in the squall is generally veered about 15 degrees or so to the right of the prevailing surface wind, and the squall itself moves about 15 degrees to the right of the path of the surface wind. Behind squalls the wind is light, particularly near dawn. If you want to race aggressively, watch for squalls and jibe to get in front of them. As they overtake you, jibe to port pole. Stay on port pole during the squall, sailing as deep as you dare, and then jibe back to starboard only when the squall has passed completely over you and your wind speed and angle have returned to the prevailing conditions. If you jibe back to starboard pole too early, you run the risk of crossing behind the squall and getting into the light air in the wake of the squall. If you have the good fortune to be sailing on a sled, you can sail fast enough to stay in the accelerated wind in front of the squall for hours. This requires jibing back and forth in front of the squall, jibing about every 15 minutes. Each jibe “back” towards the squall will be at a horrible angle, because of the way that the wind “toes in” in front of the squall, but jibe back anyway. The additional wind velocity in front of the squall makes up for the horrible angle. If you are racing aggressively, you will jibe over 50 times in a Pacific Cup, with most jibes taking place at night in squalls. continued on pg 19

continued from pg 17

Port pole is more effective to avoid the calm behind a squall because the squall itself is moving to the right of the path of the surface wind, so port pole allows you to diverge rapidly from the light air area behind the squall. It is perilous to exit a squall on starboard pole because of the risk of getting becalmed behind the squall, particularly near dawn.

Weather Information The best source of information about the future position and strength of the high comes from the 500 mb progs via weatherfax. Interpreting upper level charts is beyond the scope of this article, but various colleges have Meteorology courses. The next best sources of data are the surface analysis and surface progs which are also available via weatherfax. Satellite imagery via NOAA APT satellites is fun, but not really essential for a race in the tradewinds. Save this system for use in middle and high latitudes where there are lows and cold fronts to observe.

Pay attention to your boat’s polars. If you are racing a light displacement boat, it is worth sailing extra miles to get extra wind, because no matter how hard it blows, a light boat will sail still faster if you get more wind. On the other hand, if you are racing a heavy displacement boat, do not sail any extra miles in order to get more wind than necessary to reach hull speed. If you sail farther to get more wind, you will have more fun, but your average speed will not increase enough to pay for the extra distance. Watch for tropical depressions. The inverted troughs that extend north of a tropical depression can cause the tradewind direction to shift from normal. This can make a huge difference as you are picking your approach to the Islands.

Finally Pick your strategy, and stick to it. Then whatever happens, make up your story for the bar in Kaneohe, and stick to it.

Author’s Disclaimers All of the above comments are relevant to typical Pacific Cups. There are unusual races in which you have to break the above rules to win.
