Transcription

1 Tradition Rules at 75th Annual Walter J. Macfarlane Regatta Members of the Army enjoy the opening ceremony. They represented Outrigger in the annual military race, finishing second. Niuli`i Heine, Manu Boyd and Leslie Goldman performed at the opening ceremony. Mark and Ann Buck came out to support granddaughter Sylvia who raced in the open keiki event, along with per parents David and Meghan Buck. The 75th Annual Walter J. Macfarlane Regatta was held on a beautiful, sunny 4th of July at Waikiki Beach, with thousands of spectators lining the beach to cheer for their favorite crews. There wasn t much surf but plenty of small bumps to add some excitement to the day which featured 46 canoe races. At the end of the day at the Awards Ceremony at Duke s Restaurant, the Outrigger women and the Lanikai men drank champagne from the silver cups, and Lanikai posed for photographs with the Regatta trophy for finishing first with 187 points. Outrigger was runnerup with 171. There are so many traditions within the Macfarlane Regatta tradition that make the race so meaningful to Outrigger members: The pre-regatta breakfast at 6 a.m. on the Hau Terrace. The highly-polished perpetual trophies lined up for everyone to see. Usually they re lined up in the bar, but this year it was the Koa Lanai so everyone could fit into the room. The Pep Rally led by Walter Macfarlane s grand nephew Outrigger s Senior Women drank champagne out of the Senior Women s Cup: Tracy Phillips, Angie Dolan Giancaterino, Shannon O Neill, Jen Fratzke, Amy Lawson, Billy Lawson.

The great open steersmen and women who share their skill with all the crews to make sure everyone gets the most from the waves in their lane and finish safely. Mingling with the tourists on their floaties in the water and on the beach, as well as watching from hotel rooms over looking Waikiki Beach, a tradition we used to share on a daily basis when the Club was located in Waikiki. The military crews and their families who remind us of their sacrifice as they enjoy participating in our tradition and the brunch after their race at the Outrigger Hotel. Page 2 August 2017
