  USED BOATS FOR SALE, AUSTRALIA - MotorSM
If the winds are fair to Angus and his crew on his 40' racing yacht, Tevake, he will be celebrating his 60th birthday in style at Stanley's Dockside Carnival the next day.
Angus built Tevake, an Adams/Radford 40', in 1986 and has raced her hard over the years, culminating with a win in the Melbourne to Hobart in 2001.
His new boat, to be called Tevake II, is being prepared for the hardships of Bass Strait and will be ready for the Melbourne to Hobart.

Tevake II, the line honours leader in the Queensland Government sponsored Port Vila to Mackay race, the 1134 nautical mile second leg of the South Pacific Boomerang series, is expected to cross the Mackay finish line tomorrow morning.
At this morning's Tascoast Radio sked, she was 13 miles east north east Of Howards Patch Reef, which is the outer reef turning mark, a little over 200 miles from the Mackay finish line.
It's been a hard wet reach for the Mackay bound fleet for the last 36 hours, but when the Radford 45 Tevake II turns the corner, she will surf north north west pushed by a 20/25 knot wind, which will continue to build overnight and she could easily finish around dawn.

Fletcher last night steered his Adams/Radford-designed 40-footer Tevake across the finish line at Stanley, the historic seaport on the north-west coast of Tasmania, about two hours before his birthday began.
Tevake took out AMS A on corrected time from Extasea (Paul Buchholz) and line honours winner Flirt (Chris Dare).
This was also Commodore Fletcher’s last ocean race with Tevake — he has bought a larger Radford 45 in which to contest the ORCV’s race to Vanuatu next year.

Glad to be under way we then drifted off the dock, said so long to Charleston and got back onto the ICW with Tevake, our cruising buddies, close behind.
Tevake ran into a little engine trouble on their way, so we made it in some hours before they did.
Tevake rowed back to their boat, and we turned in leaving our tiny sink full of dishes.

 Rising winds push race boats home - Sport - www.theage.com.au
Melbourne-Hobart race organisers were expecting a welcome change to push the four remaining yachts that have been creeping around Tasmania's west coast to the finish line this afternoon.
Race director Ian McKenzie yesterday said Quetzalcoatl, Tevake, Yoko and Under Capricorn, which had experienced frustrating progress with winds as low as five knots, after wild seas forced the withdrawal of most of the fleet early in the race, were nearing South West Cape.
"(Tevake) will probably have to maintain or close the gap to make sure she wins on handicap because at the moment, it's a bit of a toss-up."

 Searching for a Way
Back in the early seventies, before Hokule'a was even built, when they were putting the dream together, they said, "we need to get a Polynesian navigator"-someone who could sail to Tahiti in the way the ancient Hawai'ians had, a navigator who could find the way without modern instruments.
They explained the project and all Tevake said was, "we'll see." He gave no commitment.
Apparently Tevake had an old canoe house in which there was an old canoe that he never used.

It is unique because of its construction, which adheres closely to the first dual canoes used by the Polynesians to sail the Pacific Ocean, and because it was designed by world-famous British designer James Wharram.
The boat will be named Tevake, which in the Polynesian Tongan language means tropic bird (or bos'un bird).
However, the name is more metaphysical in that it also may mean navigator, referring to the Polynesians who sailed the ocean by navigating with knowledge of the flight of birds and motion of the wind, waves and weather.

 The Trireme Trust - Newsletter 16 - Pacific Boatbuilding
The answer to that question is a story that began in 1968 when Dr. David Lewis came to Temotu to study traditional Polynesian navigation with the late Basil Tevake, one of the greatest sailors of his generation.
Until Lewis began his work in the 60's the anthropological establishment - which at the time included few sailors - held that human settlement of Oceania was more or less accidental; that people simply drifted around until they bumped into isalnds.
Chief Kruso told them he feared that unless he and the few people in their 70's and 80's taught a new generation of navigators soon, the skills of his people would die with him and his contemporaries.

Dinner was a Tevake staple (their version of Slowly's egg noodles and sausage): yellow rice and fl beans ala Goya with sauteed onion and red pepper.
