1. The phrase “feeling blue” originated at sea. When a ship lost its captain during a voyage, the sailors would sail blue flags, indicating their loss. Today, when you say you feel blue, you are feeling sad. 2. Sailing has been part of the Olympics since 1896. Except for the 1904 Summer Games, sailing has been included in all modern Olympic games. That makes it one of the longest running Olympic disciplines around. 3. Sailing around the world westward is more difficult than eastward. Most world-record contenders choose to sail eastward due to the stronger and more predictable winds and currents that push eastward in the Southern Hemisphere. 4. “He’s a loose cannon” is another phrase with sailing roots. The cannons on a ship could weigh up to 3,400 pounds. Just as a loose cannon could cause damage on ship, a person referred to as such may also create unwelcome situations. 5. The world-record sailing speed is 65.45 knots (121km/h). As of November 2012, the fastest sailing speed on record is held by Australian Paul Larsen. His specially designed Sailrocket 2 has an unconventional design meant for high-speed sailing.

There’s something about that first step onboard Hawaiian Style Catamaran with the mix of excitement, calm, and knowing you’re about to spend a few hours exactly where you want to be.⛵️ Whether it’s visitors seeing Hawaii from the water for the first time or locals and repeat guests that have turned family, every sailing charter starts with that same spark.☀️ From family days to long-overdue outings with friends, from birthdays and bachelorette parties to simple sunset cruises just because. It’s different for every group. And that’s what keeps it special. No two sails look the same, and we love seeing the way each charter becomes its own Hawaii memory. Out on the water, the energy always shifts. People unwind. Kids jump in the water the second we anchor. Friends snorkel with sea turtles. Couples find a quiet spot on the nets. And everyone, locals and visitors alike, enjoy these rare moments of slowing down with island views in the background. We offer private catamaran charters in Waikiki for all of it: sailing, swimming, snorkeling, sunset cruising, celebrating, fireworks, or simply getting out on the ocean for a few hours. If you’re looking for a day that feels easy, memorable, and fully your own, we’ve already got the time and the place… just hop on board with us at Sail Hawaiian Style Catamaran here in Honolulu, Hawaii! 🤙 Book your Customizable Private Catamaran Charter for this holiday season!🎄 SailHawaiianStyle.com #sailing #oahuhawaii #explorehawaii #gohawaii #hawaiitour #hawaiithingstodo #underwaterworld #waikikibeach
