Escort boat available. Plenty room, swim platform etc.

Does anyone know anything about the Eclipse from Sandwich Island Composites. I've been offered the chance to buy a fairly new one for $1,500. I don't see them mentioned on this forum so was wondering if anyone had an opinion on them. I will be using it here on Maui. Thanks.

Looks like my wife and I have been very lucky with our plans to visit Maui again this year. We'll be in Honokowai in West Maui for the race, and just a short drive from the race start at Flemings :-)

What's the best way to enjoy the start of the race? Should we try to get to Flemings early and maybe see the teams and canoes up close? Or, watch the start from a different vantage point like at Makalua-puna Point?

We've been to Flemings many times, but not during an event like this. Should we expect it to be a crazy scene?

Thanks for any ideas/advice.

I am looking for a cheap starter boat to get out in the water(flat and small surf). Nothing planning on doing any serious racing but need to get back out on the water soon. Basically I am 6' 235. I'm hoping this boat has enough volume to float me. I tried out a friends Hurricane without too much of a problem. Any feedback would be hugely appreciated.

PS: I know most of you would say but a Scorpius or newer boat but money is a little tight.

Aloha kakou,

In about a month and a half, The Earth Trot Project will be paddling an OC-6 from Kihei, Maui to Kalaupapa, Moloka'i to donate to the community down there. We are in need of paddles to donate with the boat. If anyone has any extra paddles that you'd like to donate, we'd be stoked for any size and condition. We are a full-fledged 501(c)3 non-profit organization, so any donations are tax deductible.

If you have anything, please give me a shout at 808.551.7138. Or for more information you can log on to: EarthTrot.org

Mahalo!

Aloha my name is Kane and I'll be on Maui working the week of September 20-24 and I'm hoping to do a few maliko runs either on sup or Oc-1. Please let me know if can tag along. Mahalo nui Kane
