In fact 5 of the top 20 all time corrected finishes were this year.
Here's the latest update to the SHTP Race Results including this year's race. Please point out any mistakes in this first draft. As you know, without too many wind holes on the course the times...
You're right about that. What Patty and I saw on our morning walk.
Hey Skip,
Patty and I made it to Hanalei today (the easy way) and while Patty was sleeping it off (due to waking up in SD at 12:30am Hawaii time) I walked from the Hanalei Inn down the beach to the...
Never heard of it so I looked on the Ace website. Now I know why we don't carry it because at $179 the A24 would be the most expensive item in our store. Most customers don't really care about the...
Hi Carliane, It's just so nice to see you back in the SSS.

Skip, Very exciting and well done, but then why are we not surprised?

Hi Cliff,
All the best to you on your offshore adventure to the South Pacific on Rainbow. I would see you off under the Gate but it's kind of a long way from San Diego. I look forward to...
Hi Carliane, I could be missing something but I only see one entry of a Freedom 38. To make the most vessel type list shorter I only listed models that have been entered at least twice. The Freedom...
So sorry Steve - you weren't dreaming (or maybe you were) but your name is now in the list of multi-entrants.
Next is the list ranked by Skipper multiple entries. Ken Roper leads by almost a fathom, 12 vs. Mike Jefferson's 7. Of course I may have messed up up, kind of like Brian.
OK Synthia, Here is the list by boat type. I count 23 Olson 30's, 13 Finn Flyer's (12 with the General), 12 Cal 40's, 11 Moore 24's and 10 beautiful Crealock 37's.
Bob, Jackie, Skip, Alan - that means a lot coming from you. It's nice to be able to contribute, even in this small way, and if there are more corrections or if sorting the list in a way other than...
Here are the updated SHTP results to include the 2021 race. What a great job by the race committee to make last year's race a such a success in spite of all the many challenges. Hope 2023 goes much...
Bill - Sorry, I knew that and I just fixed it.
Here's my latest attempt to update the SHTP results to include the 2021 race. I still don't know how to upload the xls file so here is the PDF. Maybe someone more techy than me can do that but at...
Nawiliwili again. On my afternoon marina walk I get through the unlocked gate of 200 dock and see this beautiful red boat. Hard to believe it has a bad rudder.

Further down to starboard...
Actually not Hanalei but Nawiliwili. Arrived yesterday due to month's long reservation assuming awards ceremony might be here again. Not. On my afternoon walk of the harbor I was passed by Siren...
Definitely hard work. Patty and I left home 5:30am from San Diego, waited on the tarmac in Lihue for 45 minutes, got our rental car at Enterprise, had lunch in Kapaa, got stopped just before Hanalei...
I think it's more like Aloha's tracker doesn't always send out accurate positions.
David Clark and I just inspected Kyle's Hobie 33, Aloha, yesterday. Kyle is a very active sailor and plans to crew on the Spinnaker Cup and Coastal Cup before the SHTP and then fly home from Hawaii...
Jackie,
Actually I've always thought of you as the glue that holds the SSS together. Your contributions are legendary and I am in awe.

Hi Jackie,
At least you spelled Crealock right this time but Morning Star is actually a Valiant 32. Can't wait to see everyone in Hanalei.

I did the same routine the last two races. Spend five or six days in Hanalei sharing serious tree time and the yellow house with the other finishers and your new best friends, then off to Nawiliwili...
