Hawaii: Local Knowledge
A collection of tips.
What are some "don't miss" attractions in Hawaii?
Well, all the events at Kaneohe Yacht Club. But if you have more time, may we suggest, at least on the island of Oahu, a biased list, not necessarily in order:
Can I sail through the reef at the finish?
There is a channel through the reef. If you can sail straight, you can sail straight through it, if you draw seven feet or less. Once through (and it is kind of scary after all that open water) you get a fabulous reach through Kaneohe Bay. Yeah, sail if you can.
Where should I stay in Hawaii?
Seriously? Hawaii is the come stay here capital of the US. There are thousands and thousands of places to stay.
Will I have to anchor out in Kaneohe?
All boats should be prepared to anchor. This may arise from an in-race emergency, of course, or a surprise of sorts at Kaneohe, such as heavy weather or a dock failure. Boats over a certain size will almost assuredly need to anchor out to avoid overstressing the pilings at Kaneohe. KYC provides a volunteer shore boat service to these racers!
Fuel in Kaneohe Bay
Getting fuel at KYC or even in K-Bay can be a bit of a chore.
We are querying local knowledge, but till we get that, here are a few options beside taking a jerry can to the local gas station.
Long-Term Mooring in Oahu
Here is some information regarding available long term mooring once your time at KYC has expired.
