Like the endless ski run, it is all down hill. The record time from Hookipa to Kanaha is about 14 minutes, a very, very fast run. We take our time, sailing for about two and a half hours, and we often stop at coastal sailing spots along the way.
Coast runs are for advanced sailors.
You must be able to sail in a variety of conditions and make most of your jibes. If you sail from Hookipa to Kanaha with ease, then you are ready for Molokai. Crossings are limited to 5 sailors.
