Hawaii Yacht Club and Waikiki Yacht Club encourage children to enjoy
a morning of fishing aboard some of Hawaii’s GREAT fishing yachts
and an afternoon of swimming, games and lunch BBQ. If you have never
experienced the joy of someone….yelling…YOU HOOKED A BIG ONE….then
don’t forget our tournament….and bring your best friend….bring
two friends. Hawaii Yacht Club and Waikiki Yacht Club are again thrilled
to have children from the following community organizations join our
27th annual tournament…..Palama Settlement, Kuhio Park Terrace,
Hale Kipa Youth Services and the HPD Police Activities League. It will
indeed be a great tournament.
There are some exciting changes which evolved from a planning session:
Wikoliana Educational Excursions will join this tournament, educating
the children about ocean awareness and the importance of releasing their
fish…The Pro’s call it….”Tag and Release”.
Ninth grade students from St. Andrews Priory School will be aboard each
fishing vessel. Their job will be to take photos of the angler’s
with their fish, weigh the fish, and return the fish back to the beautiful
blue Pacific. A special Waikiki Yacht Club awards ceremony will project
photos of all winners on a flat screen TV. Swimming, games and food
will additionally be part of the afternoon’s events.
Angler and skipper registration will take place at Hawaii Yacht Club,
along with the angler and skipper briefings. Rods, reels, bait, hooks
and children’s life jackets will be handed out while boarding fishing
vessels. Swim relays, BBQ, and trophy presentation will be held at Waikiki
Yacht Club. All anglers are winners and will receive a prize. The WYC
Shuttle will be available and run between the clubs.
Results of the tournament will be published in the March bulletin and
posted around the clubs.
The committee is looking forward to another successful event and would
like to thank founders Jim O’hara and Stan Thornton for providing
children a fishing opportunity and a day of “Fun ‘n’
The Sun”.
