Chuck Rose sent a link to a YouTube Video he made of last year's Halloween Race. It's been added to the 2011 Halloween Race archive but we thought you might want to take a peek at it.


Joel Ehrlich Memorial #6 was great fun. The jetty was filled with spectators and they got quite a show. The Trades were blowing a respectable 10-15 knots and nine boats came to the line. Lelele lead the first short inside leg, but when the boats returned from the second leg to Ninini Point, OZone was in the lead. OZone held that lead but second place was hard fought throughout another short, inside lap to a one second duel between Lelele and Papa a'u at the finish with Papa a'u taking it by one second. Although Lelele and Fast Company finished 3 and 4, Bonjolea had them in her cross-hairs and corrected to third place ahead of them, relegating Lelele to 1st place in CLUB Class. See all the results on the RACING page. The last race of this series takes place next week; Thursday, May 17. Don't miss it!


The Joel Ehrlich Memorial Rum Race Series got off to a fine start with a great race (see the photos by Sea Peterson) and a rockin' party with amazing food and hot music by Tony LeHoven and Gunga La Gunga. The Mapuana crew cooked the dinner and the OZone crew tended the bar and everyone else just had a BLAST. See the race results, the TGI story, and the photos HERE.
