Hawaii High
School IMU Invitational Regatta

Regatta Summary
Thanksgiving weekend the first Hawaii High School IMU Invitational Regatta was held at the University of Hawaii sailing facility on Sand Island. Twelve teams from nine high schools competed in the Regatta, sponsored by the Hawaii Youth Sailing Association (HYSA). The four teams from the mainland were: Orcas Island from Seattle WA; Stevenson High from Pebble Beach CA, and two from Palos Verdes High, Palos Verdes CA. Representing Honolulu were: Iolani, Kamehameha, Mid Pacific, Pearl Harbor/Navy, Punahou, and Sacred Hearts Academy. Seven teams sailed in the Gold Division while 5 teams sailed in the Silver Division.
With winds ranging from 10-20 knots and higher gusts, all teams had their work cut out for them! The aging U.H. FJ fleet had been given extra TLC with the help of U.H. Sailor Fizz Foster, and they held up like champs with minimal breakdowns. Twenty races were run during the Saturday/Sunday regatta. All involved had a challenging and fun weekend. The word from the mainland is that this year’s visiting teams plan to return next year with more sailors and bring new schools with them!
