The Wahine Series got off to a great start on Thursday (8/12) with eight boats in the field and a wahine on the helm of every one of them. The girls did a great job and had a great time as well. Lindsey Vail on MALIHINI's helm brought home the win. Read the story HERE. Joe Sager took some photos. Find them HERE. See the Race Results here. Next race in this series is Thursday August 19.

The Horse & Pony Series finished in a flurry. The wind was blowing 15 to 20 knots. OZone broke a backstay and did a quick fix with a spinnaker halyard but DNF'd after lap one. A protest flag flew at #7 on the last horse lap. The ponies all went to the wrong mark and only two of them managed to go around the right mark and score. What a hoot!

The Very Popular Horse & Pony Series got off to a good start with five horses (the big boats) on the start line in a 15-20 knot breeze. As soon as the horse race was finished each boat sent one of their crew to grab a pony (Laser) and off they went on a race of their own. When all was done, the horse race points were added to the pony place scores for the final score of each horse. See those results here. Joe Sager sent a few photos and the ponies were shot from far away. See the photo album here. Read all about it here.

The Junior Invitational Series ended with race #4 in blustery 25 knot Trade Winds and bumpy seas. The competing boats were loaded up with "rail meat" and a large group of spectators got to watch quite a show. Joe Sager took pictures from the lighthouse while Sea Peterson shot from the golf course so be sure to check out the photo album. Elaine Kubota (OZone) treated the Juniors and crews to pizza and cake at the clubhouse party (pictures here).  Race Results    Series Summary    Read all about it.

Memorial Day Race to Hanalei is a Nawiliwili Yacht Club tradition that goes back to the club's beginning in 1978. We used to have a Prindle fleet that would start one hour after the big boats so they would all finish at about the same time. Don Bogowitz, on Steve Layne's Prindle 19, FAST LAYNE, started with the big boats in this one and finished an hour and 10 minutes before the first monohull. It was nearly a photo finish between OZone, who had the lead, and Lelele, who snuck by OZone at the end to finish 3 seconds ahead of her. This race served as Leg 1 of the Around-The-Island Race that continued on Sunday and Monday to finish at Nawiliwili, where it all started. Ten boats raced to Hanalei and six of them continued on around. OS#3 Photo Album  ATI Photo Album  |  OS#3 Race Results  |  ATI Race Results  |  ATI Summary  |  Perpetual Trophy

NYC Opening Day; We're back! What a FUN day! We all met at the clubhouse at 11am and enjoyed the most wonderful Mexican Brunch prepared by Party Chair Marcie Millett. YUM! This girl can COOK! The first race of the new season got started at 1:30pm so the skippers and crew went to the boats and the rest of us went to the jetty. A two-lap, five-mile race course was decided on and seven boats participated in the festivities. When the race was pau, we all went back to the clubhouse to tally the results over burgers & beer.

The Year-End Trophy Party was a great party. Nearly 70 party goers, NYC members and their guests, enjoyed a delicious barbecued pork roast dinner cooked by our very own resident chef Dick Olsen and his wife Liz. Party Chair Marcie Millett outdid herself and decorated the clubhouse in a festive mode. Attendees were allowed to reserve tables by boat, so eight of the ten tables were occupied by skippers and crew of our individual race boats. Pam Zerker of Coyote provided a picture slide show of the season's races for an interesting backdrop. See pictures of the evenings trophy presentations here.
