3 Commodore s Corner NYC Racing Season The 2018 Nawiliwili Yacht Club racing season starts off with Opening Day Races at 10 am on Saturday, February 10 th. I know a lot of skippers and crew are ready to get back into the highly competitive racing that goes out on the race course. We welcome the new Race Committee Chair David Masters as he gets ready to provide only the best starts and finishes from the mole, assisted by team members Rhan Honjo and Vice Commodore Bill Georgi. After the race there will be a Picnic on the Lawn with BBQed specialities and KSA Topper rides. Invite your friends as guests are welcome! 2018 Membership Renewal Please renew your club membership as you are past due since February 1 st! Go to the NYC website to complete the renewal process. Mahalo! 2018 Kaua`i Channel Race Kāne`ohe Yacht Club is looking forward to cosponsoring the 2018 Kaua`i Channel Race. The race will start off of Kāne`ohe at 7 am on Friday, August 3 rd. We need NYC volunteers for welcoming the racers on the 3 rd and assisting with the awards banquet and ceremony on Saturday, August 4 th. Please join the KCR Planning Committee meetings on the first Monday of each month at the Clubhouse Silent Auction Rear Commodore David Masters is enthusiastic to be the new Chairperson of the Silent Auction and is anything but silent in sharing his enthusiasm by reaching out to get donations for the event. Let s help him in his endeavor! Lease Update I m excited to say that KSA and NYC have agreed on a draft of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and it has been submitted to our lawyer for review. This is the first milestone in our journey to obtain a long-term lease. Hawai`i LifeFlight In 2017 NYC members had an opportunity for a group discount and many members took advantage of that deal brought forth by then Fleet Captain Shaun Lehman. Thanks Shaun! However, because of a corporate merger with another company, HLF no longer offers groups discounts, but they now offer an expanded area of service. If you re interested in their insurance coverage, go to their website They will honor NYC member s coverage if they signed up for multiple year membership during the open enrollment period last year. Commodore Kevin Arndt Racing News Racing Rules Seminar A two day seminar with Tom Pochereva covering the US Sailing Rules will be on April 14 th & 15 th from 8 am to 4 pm. The $15 fee includes a working lunch for both days. More details to follow, but start now on getting your crewmates and skippers to put that date on their calendar. We need a commitment from enough people to pay for Tom s travel expenses to make this work. If interested, contact Commodore Kevin Arndt at ksarndt@ live.com, or Rear Commodore David Masters at djmasters72@gmail.com. Quiz 95 Boats SW and SL are sailing downwind on starboard tack with SW overlapped to windward of SL. Just ahead is Boat X which has just been righted after capsizing. X is on port tack and the sailors are climbing back on board. SL bears away to pass by the bow of X as does SW. There is not enough space for SW to pass between SL and X, and SW s boom hits SL s starboard shroud (no damage or injury). Both boats protest. You are on the protest committee; how would you decide this?

4 Answer ~ Boat SL is penalized for breaking rule 19.2(b), Giving Room at an Obstruction. Because X has not regained control after capsizing, both SL and SW are required to avoid her (see rule 23, Capsized, Anchored or Aground; Rescuing). Therefore X ranks as an obstruction to both of them (see the definition Obstruction). Because SW is overlapped with SL, and SL is passing the obstruction to starboard, SW is entitled to room from SL to pass the obstruction on the same side (see rule 19.2(b)). SL fails to provide that room and breaks 19.2(b). SW breaks rule 11, On the Same Tack, Overlapped, but is exonerated under rule 21, Exoneration, because she is sailing within the room she is entitled to. Regarding rule 14, Avoiding Contact, clearly SL breaks it by not bearing away far enough to provide room for SW to pass between her and X without hitting either. SW need not act to avoid contact until it is clear that SL is failing to provide room. At that point it is likely that it is not reasonably possible for SW to avoid hitting SL, so SW does not break rule 14. However, even if one of them broke rule 14, she would be exonerated (not penalized) for breaking that rule because the contact did not cause damage or injury, SL as the right-of-way boat and SW as the boat entitled to room (see rule 14(b). Note: The fact that SL is required to give room to SW under rule 19.2(b) does not change the fact that SL is the right-of-way boat under rule 11, On the Same Tack, Overlapped (see the preamble to Part 2, Section A, Right of Way).
