Patagonia- Hawaiian Sailing Canoes: Kane’ohe Bay to Hale’iwa
Watch as three- and six-person teams in Hawaiian sailing canoes race around the northeast corner of O’ahu. Starting at Kane’ohe Bay, the boats speed through the 40-mile course over sandbars and shallow reefs, through wind swell and changing winds to the finish in Hale’iwa. The six-person sailing canoes are 45-feet long with the main hull only 18 inches wide and are steered with a paddle. The three-person canoes are 30-feet long. Canoes hit speeds of 15 to 18 knots in wind and waves.
