The idea of the Launch Parties is simple: THEY’RE FREE!

Our first thank-you for EVERYONE who participates in any of our projects by helping fund and support us at any level is an invitation to our Launch Parties!

All you have to do is sign up for our free monthly newsletter (“Join Us For A Sail” signup form is in the right-hand sidebar), and stay signed up (so we’ve got your email address to send the Party invites to), and you’ll get invites to our Launch Parties, which we hold whenever we launch a boat!

We’re not talking about a Silicon Valley “launch party” where everyone’s talking in geek about their newest iPhone app, with an “open” bar charging you $15 for drinks.

This is a Hawaiian luau launch party, with three or four kegs of beer, kalua pork, lau-laus, lomi salmon, rice, poi, live music from Hapa and Keoki Kahumoku (yeah, check them out brah!), and 78-degree ocean water to dive into if you need to cool off.

This is a Hawaiian BOAT launch party!
