• Description:
  Yacht racing expenditures in Hawaii amount to almost $20 million every 2 years. A large number of Hawaii businesses were identified which benefit directly from yacht races and associated activities. The large races draw thousands of people to Hawaii and have an impact on the state's economy similar to that of a series of conventions attended by upper-income level individuals from outside the state. The smaller race series draw fewer participants and visitors but still have a significant impact on the state's economy. A brief history of yacht racing in Hawaii, provided by the executive director of the Royal Hawaiian Ocean Racing Club, introduces this report.
