Women crews work the water at Ke'ehi Lagoon in the Clement D. Pa'iania Regatta. Hui Lanakila and Kailua each scored 74 points, but Kailua gave the title to Hui Lanakila. Deborah Booker • The Honolulu Advertiser

"They're a really excellent canoe club," said Kailua coach Jimmy Bruhn. "They deserved it."

Hui Lanakila coach Kalama Heine was pleased just to share in the points standings. "A tie is a win for us," he said. "Everybody is excited, everybody is ecstatic."

Kailua led Hui Lanakila, 74-72, heading into the final event of the Clement D. Pa'iania Regatta. But Kailua did not enter a team in the men's 40 race and Hui Lanakila's crew finished third, earning two points for the tie.

Hui Lanakila could have won the title outright, but lost five points when its freshman men's crew was disqualified because of a false start although it finished with the fastest time in 7 minutes, 17.88 seconds.

Hui Lanakila picked up steam following the youth races. Trailing 39-19 after the first 16 races of the day, Hui Lanakila won eight races in the adult divisions, including wins in the senior men's and women's events.

"I was surprised that on one of the legs we gained a lot. I thought it was going to be neck and neck," said Gail Grabowsky on her senior team's win.

"We could hear Outrigger (Canoe Club) coming up. They had a good leg and they had a good turn. You could hear their voices, but our stroker kept it comfortable, which is pretty nice. She kept it without being anaerobic or cruising too much."

In the senior men's race, Hui Lanakila was third after the first mile of the 1 1/2-mile race, but caught up with about a quarter-mile left.

"We had a really good surge on that last quarter-mile and we got a boat-length on them (Lanikai). That was a lot for them to catch up," said Heine, who was on the winning crew that finished in 10:57.70.

When it looked as if Hui Lanakila was pulling away for the regatta title, Kailua staged a late rally. Its strategy of beefing up its mixed crews paid off as it won all three mixed races. It also won the women's 40 race and finished second in the men's and women's fours.

While Hui Lanakila displayed its strength in the adult division, Lanikai showed off the future of its club with five first-place victories in the youth division races. The biggest came in the boys 18 race, which Lanikai won by 21 seconds, one of the largest margins of victory yesterday.

Coach Robert Puakea said his boys 18 crew was reminiscent of Lanikai's sophomore men's team some 20 years ago that eventually became one of the state's most dominant senior men's teams.

"You're looking at the future of our Lanikai men's program," Puakea pointed out.

Hui Lanakila hopes to carry the momentum of its historic victory through the rest of the season.

"Everybody knows what to do (now) and we're going to come out strong next week," Heine said.

Added Puakea: "We knew we were going to get competition from different clubs. Seeing how it is today, it's going to be Hui Lanakila."

Keahiakahoe edged Anuenue, 19-16, yesterday in the A division for smaller clubs.
