Crew Training Sail and Rainbow Invite Regatta, January 2014

METC, Honolulu Harbor —

By Miki Tomita.

This past weekend, PVS provided the UH Sailing Team with a moving viewing platform for families who flew in to view the Rainbow Invite Regatta.  Captained by Bob Perkins, Noa Noa provided both a viewing experience for UH parents, as well as a training opportunity for PVS crew members.

Crew Members and UH families enjoyed a great sailing, viewing and training day.

In addition to viewing the Regatta, crew practiced tacking, man overboard protocol, and reading relative bearings.

Crew Members took the opportunity to practice man-overboard protocol while removing plastic pollution from the ocean.

What a great day of sailing and training!  Thank you to Captain Bob for helping provide this amazing sailing opportunity in the middle of dry dock.
