Harness the Wind

Catch a ride on the salty breeze with Lahaina Yacht Club.

Story by Shannon Wianecki | Photography by Ben Ferrari

As we leave Lahaina Harbor, the Pacific Ocean is a velvet blue expanse with hardly a white nick of wind. The late morning breeze, though light, is still strong enough to propel a sailboat. That’s good, because today is the first regatta of the Lahaina Yacht Club’s 2016 season, and I’m excited to help monitor the action from aboard the race committee boat.

Ian Ponting attempts to measure the wind speed with a tiny wind vane attached to his cellphone. “Eight knots on the geekometer,” he crows, pleased with his gadget’s accuracy. Ponting serves as rear commodore, in charge of the club’s races both big and small. As we motor out into the deep blue, he and fellow club member Dan O’Hanlon heave huge yellow buoys overboard to mark today’s course. Unlike racetracks on land, regatta courses are contingent on wind direction and shift accordingly during a race. Other contingencies Lahaina yachters might encounter? Whales and submarines.

Eight trim sailboats approach the start line. Among them are Snickers , the club’s own Olson 30, and Gung Ho, the fastest boat in today’s lineup. The boat captains trade friendly banter, jockey for position, and try not to ram into one another—or worse, lose their wind. Ideally, when the start horn shrieks, they’ll sail between the buoys on a strong tack.

O’Hanlon and Ponting synchronize their watches. I raise the four-minute signal flag. O’Hanlon hollers out a ten-second countdown and then blasts the horn: the race is on! Sails fill and surge forward. O’Hanlon immediately shoots up a flag, alerting a boat that it crossed the line prematurely. Gung Ho must maneuver back to the start, losing precious minutes. Gung Ho’s captain and owner, Keahi Ho, takes the penalty in stride. Competition during these club regattas is just stiff enough to make the races fun.

Yachting is a relatively small sport on Maui—which is surprising until you consider the limiting factors. Hawai‘i is a far reach from everywhere; sailing to or from this isolated archipelago is a major commitment. Sailing within Hawai‘i isn’t easy, either. Small-boat harbors are few and far between here, and slips are in high demand. The channels separating the Islands are infamous, known worldwide for their volatile seas and currents. When you leave a Hawaiian harbor, you enter the wilderness of the open ocean.

That wilderness is a siren’s call to some, such as beloved restaurateur Floyd Christenson . Back in the 1960s, he and his family sailed around the South Pacific before setting anchor in Maui and opening Mama’s Fish House, one of the most successful restaurants in the state. He and a handful of other sailors founded the Lahaina Yacht Club in 1965. They transformed a dilapidated laundry on Front Street into an oceanfront clubhouse and contracted Hawaiian artist Sam Ka‘ai to design a burgee—the pennant that identifies the club. Ka‘ai drew a white sperm whale on a red backing.

“I grew up with that logo on everything,” says Ponting. Like most club members, he honed his appetite for yachting elsewhere before moving to Hawai‘i. He’s originally from the Bay Area, but his family has been entwined with Lahaina Yacht Club for decades. In 1974 his uncle won the club’s showcase regatta, the Vic–Maui. Held every other year since 1968, the international yacht race starts in Victoria, Canada, and ends roughly two weeks later in Kā‘anapali. When a boat arrives at the finish line—no matter what time of day—club members greet it with banners, refreshments, and flower lei.

Naturally, when Ponting moved to Maui sixteen years ago, he gravitated to the club. “It was kind of seedy back then,” he admits. Aside from the Vic–Maui, “there was no sailing.” It’s well known that sailing clubs without active boating programs become drinking clubs. For close to twenty years, the “yacht” part of the Lahaina Yacht Club languished while its sailors waited for a slip to open up in Lahaina Harbor. Finally, eight years ago, the harbormaster called. Once the club had a place to park a boat, they bought one: Snickers .

Today, Snickers trails behind the other yachts in the race. The current leaders, Noa and Boondoggle, approach the first mark, a buoy they have to clear. Gung Ho suddenly darts between them, having jibed from far behind. In one sleek maneuver, Gung Ho has stitched up its lost time. All three boats round the mark in perfect sync. Their crews strike the jib sails and hoist silky spinnakers, which inflate like brilliant balloons.

Soon the entire fleet is sailing with the wind towards the finish line. The spinnakers cut a colorful swath across the backdrop of the West Maui Mountains. On calm days like this, sailing is a profoundly serene sport. But even on gusty days when the wind roars through the rigging, a sailor’s inner ear registers the absence of an engine’s high-pitched wail—registers and rejoices. To harness the wind, to hitch a ride on the planet’s very breath is a kind of magic.

O’Hanlon and Ponting keep an eye out for humpback whales, and for the Atlantis Submarine, which has surprised a yacht captain or two in the past by surfacing unexpectedly. As Snickers passes by, they assure me that she’s not a slow boat, but is often skippered by captains and crews in training. The chance to sail her is one of the perks of club membership.

The perks are many. Throughout the year, the club hosts numerous regattas and fishing tournaments. Members have exclusive access to the clubhouse that hangs over the water on Front Street. They can flash their membership card to gain entrance at almost any yacht club in the world—including posh addresses in San Francisco or Shanghai. And, perhaps best of all, Lahaina Yacht Club offers junior and adult sailing lessons.

“We’re trying to nurture the community,” says Ponting, who helped launch the club’s junior sail program in 2009. “It was the most sought-after summer camp on the island—with no advertising.” The club now hosts Hawai‘i’s largest junior regatta. “Teaching kids how to sail gives them a great sense of self, responsibility, and teamwork.”

Teamwork is essential in the final moments of today’s race, to capitalize on the building breeze. As each yacht crosses the finish line, I record its time down to the seconds. We won’t know the official winners until O’Hanlon calculates the scores based on each boat’s handicap. The last boat limps in lazily, its crew already cracking open beers. We motor off to retrieve the buoys and catch several humpbacks frolicking. We dive into the deep blue, to listen to their underwater songs—yet another perk of the sailing life.

A few hours later, the clubhouse fills with sailors freshened up and ready to celebrate. Trophies from past regattas glitter behind the bar and colorful burgees from yacht clubs around the world hang from the rafters. The chef piles snacks onto the crowded tables. I sit down beside Nancy Goode, who crewed today on Boondoggle . She remembers the moment she discovered the power of sailing, forty years ago in Southern California. A boat captain handed her a line and told her when to pull on it. She felt the boat move faster. She was hooked.

Goode and her boyfriend planned to sail around the world. When he decided to go without her, two fellows from Alaska found her crying on the dock. We’re sailing to Hawai‘i tomorrow, they said. She joined them. Upon landing in Lahaina, she got a job on a trimaran, leading snorkel tours. She now skippers monthly ladies’ sails, introducing other women to the wonders of travelling by wind.

O’Hanlon interrupts the socializing to announce the regatta’s winners: Noa places first, Gung Ho second. Jeff Kaiser, the gracious club commodore, stands to make another announcement. “Twenty years ago, Kea Ho won Sportsman of the Year,” he says. “History repeats itself. I’d like to congratulate his son, Nalu Ho, for winning Sportsman of the Year in 2015.” The deserving eighth-grader recently sailed with his father to Tahiti and back. He grins shyly and accepts his award—clearly a club member in the making. Meanwhile, Goode locks eyes with me and pencils my name in for her next ladies’ sail.

Attend a regatta:  Lahaina Yacht Club hosts regattas year-round. You can hitch a ride on a yacht for the day, enter your own boat in the race, volunteer aboard the committee boat, or help welcome the incoming Vic–Maui racers. View the club’s calendar online.

Learn to sail:   Lahaina Yacht Club offers five-day sailing lessons for adults (co-ed and women only) and juniors (ages nine to fifteen). Novice sailors should know how to swim, have strength enough to hoist a sail, bring gloves, and wear layered clothing and sun protection. Adults: $200 member, $400 nonmember. Juniors: $250 member, $300 nonmember

Become a club member:   Two existing members need to sponsor you. Attend some of the events above and you’re on your way. Visit Lyc.us or call 808-661-0191.

Membership Restaurant at Lahaina Yacht Club

Lahaina Yacht Club is an ocean-side restaurant in the middle of Lahaina.  It’s at:

835 Front Street Lahaina, HI 96761 808-661-0191

About Lahaina Yacht Club

In order to eat at Lahaina Yacht Club (LYC), you must be a member of this club or a member of another yacht club with reciprocity. Membership here costs $500 initiation plus $500 per year dues, and you need to be sponsored by two club members. The only way around those fees is to eat here as a guest of a member, which is the way I got in.  You don’t have to own a boat to be a member.  And there are other benefits for membership besides being able to dine here, such as involvement in yacht races, sailing programs, and the camaraderie of other members.

This restaurant is next door to very similar restaurants with the same oceanfront views along this part of Front Street in Lahaina.  Those others are Kimo’s , Koa’s, and Lahaina Fish Co .  None of those require any membership, so you can eat there without the need to join the Lahaina Yacht Club.

LYC is open for lunch, dinner, and happy hour.  They have prime rib night on Tuesdays and lobster night on Thursdays. The regular lunch menu includes several choices of appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, and entree plates. The dinner menu is longer, with the addition of many full-size meat and seafood entrees, plus several side dishes. At happy hour (3 to 5 PM) there are a few appetizers and snacks, and a different entree for each day of the week.

I'm amazed at the bad reviews as I haven't had a bad meal there ever. One night my dinner was prime rib which I considered excellent. My last meal there, soup and steak bites, onions, mushrooms and rice for lunch was excellent, Cleo and Myeron provide excellent service. Wife has had fish there and whether it's local or not (as some are claiming) doesn't matter because she enjoyed it, which is what actually matters. Going there right now. edit - spell Myeron correctly after talking with him over an excellent lunch

Just ate dinner there and discovered the worst food and service in Lahaina thus far. We were excited to eat there, but not only were they short staffed, the prime rib special included bagged lettuce salad, fatty and not well-prepared meat, and the side veggies were flavorless and had rubbery texture. The only thing redeeming was the macadamia nut ice cream. I feel bad for the server, but he even forgot our drinks and it took over 10 min just to get water and acknowledged at the table. I recommend anywhere else than here.

This place is terrible!!! I can't believe that such a nice place as kaanapali shores has a restaurant/bar this bad. We went on our first night staying at the shores because it was convenient. It was also the last time we went there other than to grab a beer ( even they couldn't mess that up). I ordered the fish and chips and it was obviously not fish that had been caught around Hawaii. I am used to getting mahi mahi or similar when ordering a fish dish in Maui. Not here! I actually ran into the chef while smoking a cigarette later in the week and asked him where they got their fish. He told me they get their fish from Asian countries! what a joke! He also told me that even he thought the restaurant was terrible and that the owners won't give him the proper quality ingredients to match the prices! their own chef told me this! unreal! He said the only reason he works there is because they give him good benefits (healthcare for his family). Not only was the food terrible (my wife had awful crab cakes as well) but the bartenders match the rating of the food, 0 stars. I too ordered a lava flow (Maui tradition for me) and it tasted like a watered down banana smoothie. Terrible! I then tried a mai tai... worst I've ever had! we never gave the restaurant another chance, but we did give the bartenders several more chances with no luck of improvement. we ended up going to dukes or the westin for any food or drinks close by on the beach. What a shame that such as nice place as the kaanapali shores has such a joke of a restaurant/ bar.

I adore this place. Was a local for many years (actually lived across the street for a few years) and was introduced to this place by my late husband. His mother use to work at "the Club" in the 90's as a waitress and a few other family members have passed through over the years. It's a beautiful location with a great view of the ocean. The restaurant itself is always well maintained, nicely decorated, clean and the staff are hardworking locals, always friendly. We would get a Kam discount and while yes, it is pricey compared to other places, it's part of the resort so it's to be expected. If you aren't use to Hawaii prices then yes, it will seem expensive but I've never left with anything other than a stuffed belly! We've eaten there for breakfast, lunch/brunch and dinner, all hours and the only time we really had to wait was breakfast and dinner, especially on the weekends due to the tourists. Make a reservation! The food is super good and plentiful - I love their teriyaki chicken and get it on a chicken breast sandwich, it's kind of my go to meal. My husband would generally get their hamburger or steak and was always pleased. Over the years we've seen the kitchen staff change hands but generally have been pleased with the consistency of the taste and quality of the food. When we've dined with others they have had good seafood, steaks, pasta. I always end a meal with the Macadamia Coconut Bread Puddding - served hot and drizzled with sauce, soooo good. I've been known to get another to go ;) All in all, I can't complain about this place. It became a "date night" location when I was local and the food, atmosphere and scenery are all pluses. I miss it!

Food is not impressive. Ambiance is not impressive. Service is not impressive. Son-in-law got halfway through a Mahi Mahi sandwich and became violently ill. Enough said?

I came here for dinner on my recent trip to Maui and I wasn't disappointed. The Prime Rib was excellent, the Mai Tai's were strong, and the service was excellent. Based on my experience, I don't get the negative comments. Personally, I think some people have nothing else to do but complain with the hope that they will get something for free. This is a family style restaurant that has excellent food at an affordable price. Unfortunately, sites like Yelp and Tripadvisor are usually a breeding ground for uninformed people who have no business posting anything on social media. Do most customers say anything to the management when expectations are not met at the time services are rendered or do they wait to blast a restaurant or hotel on social media after the fact? More often than not it's after the fact. It seems like everyone that has an issue with the Beach Club wants Mama's quality food and ambiance at half the price. I understand everyone has different expectations but I feel the previous negative comments are not justified based on my experience.

Event Details

The primary purpose of Maui Boat & Yacht Club is to enable its members to become proficient in sailing small craft and to gain skills in all aspects of seamanship. This is achieved at minimum cost through the motivation of individual members, volunteer participation, and member cooperation. Because the Club is a “paper club” and has no clubhouse and no paid staff, our activities are carried out by dedicated member-volunteers, who make it possible to sponsor and hold regattas, seminars, and other fun events.  Our members are people who love to sail.

MBYC is also a proud supporter of the Maui Community Sailing Foundation's junior sailing program.  If you would like to help support the foundation in their mission of providing sailing opportunities to Maui youth, click on the following link to donate:
