COMMODORE’S REPORT Chris Williams
Hi All
Well again another year has flown by and what a year it has been.
Who could have predicted this one huh?
We have a busy couple of months ahead, with one of the the
year’s highlight the Bay of Islands Sailing Week running Jan 26th
through 29th.
This is an amazing week for both competitors and spectators.
Again we will have the big marquee in the car park outside the
Cruising Club with drinks and food available . Please remember that all are welcome so
come on down and support this fantastic event. Our bar will be closed for the days of the
event but the clubroom will be open and drinks can be had from the tents in the carpark.
Coming up is the Commodore’s Party which will be on Saturday the 12th of December
there will be entertainment, nibbles, and maybe some rum punch, I look forward to see-
ing you all there.
As mentioned earlier there is a heap on over the next couple of months in and around
Opua so please check our calendar either online or get a hard copy when you renew
your membership, if you have not received one please ask at the bar. A lot of our regular
updates are posted on facebook or sent out on our weekly ‘Tuesday night’ mail out so be
sure to stay in touch and get signed up.
This year we have decided to close the club from Christmas day through to the 28th De-
cember and again from New Years Day through to the 4th. This decision has been made
due to the fact that there are very few overseas cruisers to cater for and also it is the first
opportunity in years we have had to give our staff some well earned time off. Traditional-
ly this is a quiet time for us as most are out enjoying the on the water activities and bbqs.
Thanks for supporting the club for another year it has been fantastic, a special mention
needs to go out to our committee who have been
working hard behind the scenes, thanks guys.
I hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year,
stay safe on the water and I hope to catch up with
everyone out there doing it over the break.
Thanks
Chris Williams

Lawrence Schaffler, Editor, Boating NZ: -
“Townson – the man, the sailor, the designer, the builder – is wonderfully present-
ed in Peet’s biography. He writes with an easy, conversational style and includes
plenty of warm, colourful anecdotes which I’m sure will be news to even the most
seasoned of Townson scholars.”
Roger McMillan, Editor, www.mysailing.com.au
“This is a book that every Kiwi sailor should buy. It’s magnificently illustrated with
photos and drawings of many of the designs and it chronicles the life of an inter-
esting and significant contributor to the sport of sailing. Peet is an excellent story-
teller. The book is well-written, with a good balance of anecdotes and technical
detail.”
Roy Dickson, International Yachtsman: -
“An absolutely fabulous book. I’ve read many yachting design books and none of
them gets close to what Brian Peet has created.”

Safety in the spotlight at CRC Bay of Islands Sailing Week
Competitors at CRC Bay of Islands Sailing Week from 26-29 January 2021 are being en-
couraged to focus on keeping their crews and other water users safe, with the launch of the
event’s #safetysnaps competition today.
By taking a photo or video of one of the
ways their vessel or crew comply with
the relevant safety regulations for the
regatta, and uploading it with the #safe-
tysnaps hashtag, participants will go
into a draw to win an offshore medical
course and other boating safety prizes.
Principal Race Officer Ian Clouston says
the regatta’s organisers wanted a fun way
to get participants on board with the
safety requirements for the event, rather
than taking a heavy-handed approach.
“We’ve had a good safety record in the past, so we’ve never really taken a strict enforcement
approach to the safety regulations so far, but that’s no reason to get complacent” says Ian.
“Safety is a major priority for us, especially as the event grows and we’ve got more boats on
the water. So we decided it was time to be more proactive with the safety regs and do more
random spot checks during the regatta.”
While those found not to comply with the relevant regulations for their division can be
penalised or even disqualified from races, Ian says they will be looking to educate and assist
participants to comply before taking any such action.
“We’ll also be giving a free prize draw entry to any boats we randomly check who do meet
the safety regs”, Ian says.
Prizes for the #safetysnaps competition have been kindly donated by Dr Dave Austin, the
renowned offshore medical instructor, and Burnsco Opua.

BOB MCDAVITT’S WEATHER CORNER
Summer Weather Outlook for Northland
Weather forecasts for the next few days are based on weather models that take the latest
weather observations to capture a weather pattern and then push this pattern into the future.
Since weather is a mix of pattern and chaos, this projected pattern starts the deviate from the
real world At present this method is useful for forecasting the weather for maybe the next
week or so, but then deviates into the realm of uncertainty.
Seasonal weather outlooks cover a different scale and scope, so are done differently, relying
of the trends shown by various parameters. These can help provide an indication of the most
likely weather patterns but gives no comment on what may happen on any particular day.
With that disclaimer, here is the summer season outlook for Northland, based on ENSO,
MJO and SAM.
ENSO: We are having a moderate LA NINA. This is caused by cooler than normal seas
around Galapagos. It brings warmer than normal seas to the Tasman sea and the zone
between Northland and New Caledonia. This means that for summer the risk of a tropical
cyclone is higher than normal for the New Caledonia to Northland zone. Even if this risk is
higher than normal, it is still quite low (when compared with other parts of the world) and
indicates that one, maybe two, tropical cyclones may affect the Northland area this summer.
LA NINA tends to encourage northeast wind flows in Northland. Often these are formed
when a trough in the Tasman Sea combines with a ridge or high-pressure area off to east of
Northland. This pattern will not occur all the time but is likely to recur often.
It can be a damaging pattern – the
weather map shown here is for the
recent Napier deluge.
The thing to watch for is the “triple
point” where the warm front meets the
cold front.
The deluge is a result of a convergence
of northerly and southerly winds,
resulting in an onshore flow.
If you see such a weather map with
the triple point over your place, then
brace for a deluge.Tell Tales | 11
MJO: The Madden-Julian oscillation.
Whereas the ENSO outlook gives a general idea of possible weather patterns, the MJO
parameter can be used to sort out the timing of periods of likely activity and periods of
likely inactivity. It is based on a wave of extra activity in the tropics that circulates the world
once every four to six weeks and takes around a week or two to cross our region. The MJO
wave increases the risk of
cyclone formation as it
passes.
It can be monitored
--- see www.cpc.ncep.noaa.
gov/products/precip/CW-
link/MJO/foregfs.shtml ,
scroll down to second
image which is a map with
yellow (mellow/quiet) and
blue (bubbly/active) areas.
SAM: Southern Annular
Mode.
This parameter measures
the strength of the Polar
vortex—where the winds
aloft are concentrated into
a ring around Antarctica.
When SAM dives into
negative values this means that the Polar vortex may relax a little and allow cold southwest/
south wind bursts to break out northwards. Australian based seasonal forecasters have identi-
fied these southerly outbreaks as a likely factor over next few month-- but these outbreaks
are more likely to affect places like South Australia than NZ (especially when NZ is having a
La Nina).
Daily updates of SAM (also known as AAO) can be seen at
www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/aao/new.aao_index_ensm.
html
So, in summary, the Northland summer, with its occasional Northeast wind flows, may be
warm, humid and breezy, perhaps offering more to the surfer rather than the sailor. Fingers
crossed that you may time your activities when the NE winds are having “time off”.

TUI CALLING David Greig
The sailing days are over but
the life of the Tui goes on.
I started life as a sugar barge
working for the Colonial Sugar Refinery
on the North shore of the Waitamata
harbour.
A fairly uneventful life and
after 30 odd years was made redundant
and had to find a new purpose in life.
I became a floating home to a team of
artists and was a part of the Opua
community moored in the harbour
estuary.
By and by the group that owned me became somewhat dis-enchanted and
a new proposition was offered by one of our intrepid entrepreneurs who thought
I should become a home for his large collection of diving artifacts and perhaps a tourist
mecca.
Mr and Mrs Tarlton
set about re-modelling me to
look like a 19th century sailing
ship, to appear to be moored
alongside the Kaipatiki estuary
at Waitangi bridge.
Spars and rigging were col-
lected from various shipwrecks,
and before long I looked quite
like the Hollywood idea of a
sailing ship.
My insides were strengthened
and a series of display cases
were incorporated into my lower regions for housing the many pieces of recovered treasures
that Kelly and his team had accumulated over the years. I was now a respected museum of
shipwrecks and treasures and was visited by many tourists and school groups. You could even
get a cup of tea and a cake up on the deck while enjoying the view.
After an unfortunate episode of theft and despair I became redundant again and
appeared to have no future.
Out of the blue came a young couple from Kerikeri with a rather fancy idea about
my resurrection as a floating restaurant. Well, not quite floating but appearances can be
deceiving. A deal was made with Mrs Tarlton and I became owned by a very determined pair
of budding restaurant entrepreneurs. Further remodelling was required to bring my ship like
body up to accommodate the various permits and licenses to operate as a restaurant.Tell Tales | 13
I enjoyed the new regime and became quite well known as a party venue and up-
market eaterie. But as in life not all things run to plan and after several years as a happy place
to go for a meal, a drink or just to meet friends things came crashing down and I became
redundant again.
A new plan for a revitalised but lower style eatery was agreed to and a team from
the South Island set up a takeaway fish & chip shop which by all accounts was very popular.
Unfortunately due to issues of compliance and maintenence the venture did not last and I
became a rather forlorn empty vessel.
I became the subject of vandalism over the next few years and attempts to find a
new owner and new purpose did not succeed. So here I am looking a bit the worse for wear
and my tall masts reduced somewhat and now a home for seabirds.
But wait!
I have been given a new purpose in life and now host my own caretaker and night
watchman and have once again been remodelled to accommodate his needs and comfort.
Of course I don’t get to do much in regard to my former purpose and only host the odd
visitor or curious tourist. My caretaker is endeavouring to keep me tidy and fixing the odd
broken bits but basically I am in retirement and wondering what my next adventure will be.
So anyone out there with plausible ideas and a bit of imagination are welcome to
make contact and perhaps explore something suitable for the future.
I am quite structurally sound and have lots of space with time on my lease that could be
renewed given the right support.
In the meantime my caretaker is keeping all of my services working and operating so for all
intents and purposes I am a host once again.

Happy Christmas from Maggie16 | Tell Tales NOT A YOTTIE Summer’s nearly here, we’ve already had some lovely warm days – and nights! I hope it continues, it’s lovely to be able to open all windows and doors and Summer clothes al- ways seem to be a lot more cheerful. The winter duvet is washed and stored ready for next Winter and the Summer bedding is on display. I’m back to playing Mahjong on Tuesday and Saturday afternoons and at long last I’m beginning to understand it a bit, it really is a most difficult game to learn especially with my ancient brain, but I’ve had some very patient players to teach me. One of my main tutors has moved to Whangarei to be near her family, we do miss her, but she’s really happy in the retirement village and she’s delighted to see us when we call in for a cuppa. Indoor bowls on Monday evenings at the Opua village hall has gained a few new members, it’s such a lot of fun with lots of asides and giggling. We’re such a happy group of folk, enjoy each others company and it’s more entertaining than watching TV. Twilight bowls have started in Waitangi for the Summer season on Wednesday evenings. Get there about 5.30 to register for a 6 o’clock start and a sausage sizzle and drink at the bar to round off the evening. The hens are laying well now so we’ve lots of fresh eggs, they always run clucking up to the gate when we’re about thinking they’re in for a treat. The family had a shade house, but over a period of a few weeks it’s been glazed and painted and made into a very productive greenhouse with tomatoes, capsicums, aubergines hot peppers, lettuce, spring onions, herbs, etc. and the rest of the garden is looking great, all the Spring blossoms have gone and there’s fruit on the trees, and it’s a treat to watch the various birds on the bird bath. I’ve just been down to watch the launching of the new fishing vessel ‘MANAKIA’ What a beautiful boat, or is it a ship? I don’t know, but it seemed a shame to get her wet as she looked so pristine. There must have been so many committee meetings about moving her from the sheds to the slipway on a wheeled sled-type vehicle– it had to be timed for high tide and with PETES 1 from Lumley Heavy Towing as support the little heavy duty tractor very gracefully let her into the water. The walking group had a weekend away in Kahoe Farms, a farm stay hostel just north of Kaeo – the cottages had been beautifully up-dated with comfortable beds and kitchens with everything we needed. The wonderful thing was that there was such an eclectic mix of memorabilia; butter churn, washboard, (we used them for a skiffle board way back when) wringer, treadle sewing machine and lots of other bits and pieces from yesteryear. The bush walk to Totara North was a bit challenging for me but my Swedish walking sticks were an enormous help. Well it seems that this is the last ‘Not a Yottie’ of the year so here’s wish- ing everyone a very contented Christmas season and healthy New Year. Cheers, from Jo
