06/17/2013 07:55:31 AM I got a call yesterday afternoon about a 16' hobiecat that overturned near Chinaman's hat.  4 people were removed from the cat and the last report stated that the hobiecat was in the surf. There are no HA #'s on the vessel.  Please contact the owner  to see if the vessel is still in the water or if has been removed.   If it's still in the water, please take a look and see if you can find it.  

CG talked to subject and he said he was looking for help to recover vessel.  He said vessel was not registered from previous owner Previous owner. I called Previous owner and he confirmed selling a 16' Hobie to HA 4070 H  - white hull with black rudders. I informed him of his responsibilities since the vessel was not transferred out of his name by New owner. He is a member of the Kokokahi Sailing Club which is based out of the YWCA at Kokokahi.  6/20/13 - I received a call from CG and they received an emai from New owner saying the vessel is his and that old decal number is on that vessel HA 4070 H.  He also wrote that on 6/22/13 Saturday that a group of his people will be go out to recover the remains of the vessel. CG will follow up on Saturday and let me know the result. I still plan to go out to Kualoa today to confirm a location and possible debris on the shore. ERNIE 6/20/13 - Went to Kualoa - Observed HPD chopper hovering over back of Mokolii Island.  

Ocean Safety lifeguards on duty offered to go with board to investigate the wreck and report current status.  Life guard1 went and reported the port hull with some rigging and the trampoline was in about 10' of water off shore of the back side of the island.  No reef there only rocks.  It appears the rigging is stuck on some rocks underwater.  Lifeguard1 circled the island for other debris but did not see any.  As I was leaving the PWC for Ocean Safety arrived and they were the guys that rescued the people from the overturned vessel.  They noted the two boats running together and how this one boat was way too close and the waves just flipped them while the other boat was safely offshore.
