Address Regatta Committee, Hawaii
Yacht Club, Box 542.
1t will be a case of first come first
serve. The yacht club is very anxious
to give everybody a chance to go on
the cruise. 1t is going TO be one OF
the most delightful events ever pulled
off in these waters. The Maui yachts
men-and there are many of them on
that little old sugar islet-are crazy
over the event and have arranged a
great reception.
Share the Expenses.
It is understood, of course, that ev-
erybody who goes On the trip will
stand their pro rata share of the ex-
( penses of the Yacht on which they sail.
Each yacht viii have a purser who
will see to the ordering of the grub
and drinkables He will add up the
amount of the total bill and will divide
/ that by the number of people aboard.
Each guest will take on the bill-dun-
/ mage assigned to him.
There is to be added excitement over
| this cruise on account of the big race
/ that is going TO take place at the same
| time The Luka, Captain Miller; the
Hawaii H., Commodore Wilder; the
| Concord, Captain Eben Low, and the
Ka Moi, Captain Sam, viii race from
| Honolulu to Kahului for a stake.
A Keen Rivalry.
| There is great rivalry between the
| two partners, Captains Miller and Low.
| Captain Miller thinks something of the
bLuka and believes that he has a mighty
/ good chance to beat the Pirate Kid,
] but he admits that the Concord has
y finer lines beneath the water than the
Luka and looks for a mighty hard race.
/ ssBut / II beat that Pirate If l have
to run him aground, - he says. So we
NAV be sure that Captain Miller is
! going to do his best.
As for that genial sportsman, the
/ Pirate Kid, he has made up his mind
| to win the race. He has had new
set of sails made for the Concord and
as soon as she gets back to Honolulu
! she will be hauled out on the ways fol-
/ cleaning and will have the new can
/ vas bent on Then there will be a
trying-out of the schooner and if only
the wind blows during the race, Cap
tain Low will give an exhibition OF
| cracking on that would make Clark
Russell s Frozen Pirate turn green with
envy.
Captain Sam Can Sail.
| Captain Sam, the Hawaiian skipper
is one of the boldest sailors in these
waters. He knows every outline of the
Islands and every turn where the wine
is likely to change He will sail his
fast schooner Ka Moi in the race and
he has a good chance of foo1ing the
whole bunch.
There is some talk of a handicap
This matter win probably be put up t.
the regatta committee of the yacht
club and, if so, they will base theil
| figures on overall deck length, which
seems to be fair way to figure it
An arbitrary allowance per foot PEI
mile viii be made and the entire handi
caps figured out from the total distance
from Honolulu to Kahului on the charts
l. Advantage for Hawaii.
This handicap will give the Hawai-
some advantage, but as she is quite ;
little bit smaller than any of the othe
vessels in the race, it is only fair tina
she should have an allowance. 1t viii
be a hot race with four fast schooner
in and there is some talk of som'
other inter-island sehooners joining tn
race and making the event the broad
est and most popular affair that ha
ever happened in these waters.
The time at which the race viii star
has not yet been set This viii depent
on the convenience of the captains an
crews of the racers and cruisers. Onl'
