Race Recap from Colin Bartley

Well the canoes are all gone, we’ve packed up all the gear, washed it down and put it away for another year. What a great weekend. Day 1 Friday was a classic Whitsunday brochure day, blue skys, light winds and flat water for the OC1 races. A few highlights came out of the day the biggest one was in the OC1 500m sprint for Open Men where Grant Shapcott of Ikaika finally broke the oldest standing record in the event set back in 1992 by John Foti of Hawaii. Grant took 3 seconds off the old record setting a new record of 2:09:78.

Results of Keauhou Canoe Club’s 11th Annual Auntie Mary Jane Heihei held Saturday, June 5 at Keauhou Bay, Kona, Hawaii. This long distance race was conceived by Mary Jane Kahanamoku eleven years ago as a fill-in for Graduation weekend when there are no regattas scheduled. For the past several years, the event has restricted all entries to co-ed crews consisting of 3 men and 3 women. Today’s long course was won by an Open crew from Keauhou Canoe Club in the Mirage canoe named after Mary Jane (the Malia Kini). First canoe to cross the line in the short course was the Golden Masters 55+ crew from Kawaihae Canoe Club.
