I too am a member of NA HOA HOLOMOKU and am completely flabbergasted by the comments made about our club by Roxie Waltjen. Could our County please find a more civic minded individual to head OUR Parks and Recreation Division....please?!!!
Na Hoa Holomoku is a non profit corp. who's goal is to promote the art of sailing. It has been in existence on the Big Island for close to 17 years. NHH and the University of Hawaii have always shared space together. In 2011, the County authorized the UH Sailing club to move to our current location. (Prior to the move,we had been on the other side of the creek, between the Kamehameha Canoe Club and the creek.) Both the UH Sailing Club and NHH have been at our current location now for 6 years. Apparently, the UH sailing club has chosen not to fight this eviction.
We think it's worth the fight. There is nothing, to my knowledge like our club anywhere else on this Island.
There is of course the Hawaii Yacht Club. It operates on Hawaiian Homes Land , is more like a private country club, has no boat access to the ocean and of course no boats.
Na Hoa Holumoku is the the Hawaii Yacht club with the boats where new members are always welcome.! .We engage in sailing activities and members come from as far as Ocean View to enjoy a day of sailing.
NHH has also helped the Boys and Girls Club , the Scouts to learn sailing skills, by providing instruction, sail boats, life jackets all under the watchful presence of our skilled sailors , motorized safety boat, all at no charge.
Our club maintains it's own equipment, maintains it's location (our members move our boats, mow and weed wack our area every month without fail) and has been teaching the basics of water safety, the basics of sailing and providing family recreational sailing activities for years.
