THE TRUE SPIRIT OF HAWAII IS "ALOHA"

HELPING ONE ANOTHER... Recently, Red Sails Sports hosted
several groupsfrom the "Make a Wish Foundation". They enjoyed
sailing aboard our 'Noa Noa' catamaran. "We consider it a privilege
to grant special requests for the children and their families,"
explains Diane Rice from Red Sail Sports Hawaii.

Additionally, we're proud to have participated in a series of Hawaii
community events that were sponsored by the resorts along the Big
Island's Kohala Coast. Working together to help one another, we all
really got behind these worthwhile fundraisers.

Hilton Waikoloa Village had great food and fun at a sold-out event - the
Headdress Ball. All proceeds go to the Big Island Food Bank.
The Orchid at Mauna Lani sponsored the Island's United Way
fundraiser on August 17; all the hotels along the coast participated.
On September 6, the Four Seasons at Hualalai hosted the Terry Fox
Fundraiser for cancer research. Guests enjoyed wonderful food, wine, a
golf tournament, plus a silent auction featuring room and airfare
packages at Four Seasons resorts worldwide. · On September 14, Hapuna
Beach Prince Hotel threw the Big Island POKE (PO-KEH) "Hawaii's Soul
Food" contest and Golf Tournament. All profits go to benefit the
Kawaihae Transitional Housing. Also, on September 10, Red Sail Sports
hosted 20 Mrs. America Pageant participants on Lagoon Beach at the
Hilton Waikoloa Village. Please join us October 19 for the 20th Ironman
Triathlon, an annual Big Island highlight and world-class event.

"Shipwreck City" Project Gets the Green Light

Our own Red Sail Sports Grand Cayman Operations Manager, Rod McDowall,
also holds the auspicious title as President of the Cayman Islands Tourism
Association (CITA). For the past two years, CITA has been working with the
Cayman Government to direct funds towards their brainchild - the "Shipwreck
City" project. It would involve sinking five ships in the waters around
Grand Cayman and Little Cayman. Nancy Romanica, CITA Watersports
Director and Shipwreck City Project Manager said, "In addition to
providing a very popular underwater attraction for our visitors, shipwrecks also
offer great opportunities for scientific studies of artificial reef development,
fish colonization and bio-diversity studies. Already, a number of very reputable
scientific research units have expressed their interest in working with the
Cayman Islands to push forward the border of knowledge for marine
research and conservation."

The Hon. McKeeva Bush, Leader of Government Business and Minister for
Tourism, Environment, Development and Commerce just announced that in
2003, the Cayman Islands' government will provide funds to kick start
the "Shipwreck City" project. The Minister is in contact with the United
Kingdom Ministry of Defense to secure a British war ship with historic
connections to the Caribbean as Shipwreck City's first potential vessel.

The Hon. McKeeva Bush concluded, "there is no better year than 2003 to
inaugurate Shipwreck City, especially with sinking a British ship as a
monument signifying our historic links to the United Kingdom. With the
commencement of this project during our quincentennial anniversary year,
we are celebrating our past, our present and most importantly, our
successful future."
