Sailing Race Committee
WYC's races are run by our all-volunteer Race Committee. They're the folks who you see on the little bobbing boat anchored at the right end of the start line, valiantly keeping time with the official sandglass, raising signal flags in the correct sequence and sounding the horn to alert sailors to the countdown time, all while holding on with two hands. After the races, they may be found huddled over laptop computers, entering finishing times in to the algorithm that determines the day's winner and who's buying drinks all around.

Malia Zimmerman, Head Coach
Malia Zimmerman has been paddling surf skis and outrigger canoes for decades and has been featured in television commercials and surf magazines over the years. She has paddled with Hui Nalu Canoe Club, Kailua Canoe Club, Beach Boys Canoe Club, and Waikiki Yacht Club here on Oahu Hawaii, and Marina Outrigger in California, learning from some of the most legendary and well-known watermen and women in the sport.
She is a veteran of canoe races across the island, and along the Southern California coast and Arizona including the Catalina Island Championship race from the California Coast, the 45-mile Na Wahine O Ke Kai race from Molokai to Oahu, the 30- mile Pailolo Challenge from Maui to Molokai, the 36-mile Na Pali Challenge along Kauaiʻs North shore, the 19-mile Queen Liliuokalani Race in Kona, and the “Another Dam Race” in Arizona.
Recruited by the Long Beach Dragon Boat Masters Team, she raced throughout California and the world championships in Australia in 2016.
She’s been an assistant coach for two canoe teams and was the president of Marina Outrigger Canoe Club in California.
Ted Jung, Junior Coach
Ted Jung has been a paddler and waterman for more than 30 years.
For the past 10 years, he has dedicated his time to coaching youth at various levels and they have participated in a variety of races from Molokai crossings to regattas to one-man races. In addition to coaching the junior program at Waikiki Yacht Club, he has coached high school canoe paddling at various schools, most recently Mid-Pacific Institute Varsity girls where under his leadership placed second in the state championships in 2024 on Hilo. Prior to coaching outrigger canoe paddling, he spent 21 years coaching club and high school soccer throughout the island.
A volunteer with several organizations and causes, Coach Ted’s mission is inspiring kids interested in the sport of paddling and helping them understand the culture and the passion for the sport.
Guy Fleming, Youth Sailing Director
As a Sailing Director here since 1985, I have often been asked, which kid is going to be the next amazing sailor and the answer is simple: I have no idea. The sport is a late development sport so the most important aspect, early on, is that young sailors learn to really love the ocean and the sport. That is the only way they will continue to put in the time and the repetitions to become truly skilled.
