Couple that with insufficient moorings in our small boat harbors, add some very challenging sea conditions between our islands, and you can understand the lack of interest. Give Laura Lee Suyetsugu at the North Shore Activities Center in Haleiwa a call at 637-6722. Sailing clubs are another option in the Honolulu area. There is a sailing club at the University of Hawaii's sailing team facilities that is open to the public and has Lasers and Flying Juniors for use in Keehi Lagoon. Another is the floating sailing club on the 48-foot catamaran Free Spirit moored in the Ala Wai Marina.
Members can crew on day sails, or longer voyages to the neighbor islands.
For more information, call 737-8115. After a quick question and answer session and a checkout sail, you can be flying a hull off Waikiki Beach. Look for the three cats on the beach or call 292-8683 to reserve a boat.
