Waikiki Yacht Club - Waikiki Yacht Club | Honolulu, Hawaii 96815 USA

This trophy is a memorial trophy and as such it meant to honor the memory of S/C Buchanan as well as honoring those to whom it has been awarded. Rudy had suffered a major stroke that affected his speech and left him partially paralyzed. Nevertheless he continued to take his boat out for Race committee and served as Commodore in 1976. When Rudy passed away in 1978 his widow Jeannie and many of the crew members wanted to honor his memory in some way. The first thought was for a trophy to be awarded to the winner of the Pokai Bay race which was one of Rudy's favorites. However it was recognized that over time particular races fall out of favor to be replaced by others. So it was decided to recognize someone from the small but essential group of members who can always be counted on to help us function as a club by volunteering their time and talents. These people neither seek nor receive much recognition. Yet it is thru their efforts that the Club takes on life and is able to function as a club rather just another commercial establishment.
