I just returned from a second visit to Hawaii in the last few months. I spent a lot of time in and around the water and various beaches. I saw very few sailboats. In fact, on Oahu I only saw a couple tourist catamarans in Waikiki and three kiteboarders in Kailua. Where has all the sailing gone? I remember 20 years ago seeing tons of beach cats in Waikiki and tons of windsurfers by Diamond Head. Not one now.
