HYRA Awards Banquet Nov 22

Ahoy everyone,

The Hawaii sailing season is slowly coming to an end and time for awards banquets is nearing. With the Fall Ko Olina Regatta closing last weekend, unfortunately with a lack of the all desired wind, the HYRA season’s point regatta is also coming to an end. On Nov 22, 2008 starting at 5:30pm the Hawaii Yacht Racing Association will hold the annual HYRA sailing banquet at the Hawaii Yacht Club. The awards banquet will start with cocktails at 5:30pm and will serve a seated dinner at 6:30pm. The Adult Menu will consist of Top Sirloin Steak and Garlic Shrimp, Oven Roasted Herb Red Potato and Steamed Broccoli in Garlic Butter ($22). The Youth Menu for our Junior Sailors will serve Spaghetti and Meatballs with Garlic Bread ($16). Both menus will have Cheese Cake for desert.

Please be advised that seating is extremely limited and will be sold on a first come first serve basis. Tickets will be on sale through the HYC office beginning Monday, Nov 3 and available for pickup after the 10th.

Also note that the HYC office has 50 parking passes for the yellow parking stalls in front of the yacht club (400 and 500 row). The parking passes will be available to HYC members and HYRA event guests on a first come first serve basis. Passes are available at the door the day of the event.

Please don’t hesitate to respond to this email with any questions you might have or call the HYC office directly at (808) 949-4622 x10

We are looking forward to seeing you there!

Aloha,

please see the
NOR and Addendum 1 for the Fall Ko Olina Regatta, scheduled for Friday, October 24 and Saturday, October 25. This race will have a slightly different format than usual, as it will be a TWILIGHT race to

Also, please note that attendance at the skpper's meeting on Wednesday, October 22, 1800 hrs, is MANDATORY. Skippers, if you are unable to attend, please designate an authorized representative to attend on your behalf. Also, mooring fees for Ko Olina must be paid no later than the skipper's meeting.

Finally, skippers please reply to this email if you intend to race. Mooring space at Ko Olina is limited and we would like a boat count for planning purposes.
