This year's Great River Race saw 211 boats start, of all classes: 7 outrigger canoes, numerous dragonboats, Thames Cutters, Cornish Gigs, Celtic Longboats, Whalers included.
As usual this is a handicap race, so the outriggers start 66 minutes behind the leaders. A lot of ground to make up but a lot of boats to pass. This is what makes the race so exciting.

On behalf of Jim, myself, KIOCC and all of Kent Island Yacht club, we would like to say "Mahalo nui loa" to everyone who came to help make the 6th Kent Island Cup a huge success.
Once again, we had brave campers who endured a tough storm, but thankfully it was safely after the race, the party wasn't dampered and the OC1 relays went on as planned Sunday a.m.
We hope everyone arrived back home safely, and again we say.....Mahalo!
Aloha, Deb Hall --- KIOCC
