Team Holopuni Hawaii once again joined Team
Kainalu of Bora Bora for the 3rd annual Hawaiki Nui Channel Crossing.
Stephan Lambert of Bora Bora lined up three of his OC-3 Holopunis for
this year's trip. The canoes were ferried from Bora Bora to Huahine
four days before the start of the Hawaiki Va'a race to allow time for
some fine-tuning and sailing in the waters off of Huahine.
