Lokahi streak ends

Star-Bulletin staff

Koa Kai Canoe Club changed the script slightly and finally had a happy ending.

Koa Kai brought Lokahi's 19-regatta win streak to an end yesterday with a four-point win in the Na Keiki O Ka Mo'i Regatta at Maili Beach.

It was Koa Kai's first regatta win since 1995. It had finished second to Lokahi all season.

Koa Kai scored 73 points to Lokahi's 69.

As usual, Koa Kai built a lead in the middle races but this time managed to hold on, thanks to a first-place finish by its Men's Open Four crew.

Galen Chee, Darin Lazzaro, Matt Trumball and Dean Smith won the 1/2-mile race that helped spell the end to Lokahi's dominance.

New Kaneohe and Windward Kai tied for first in the A Division with 34 points each.
