The new $2.5 million Keehi Lagoon Canoe Competition Center was dedicated before the opening of the 1992 HCRA State Championships. The new course has 12 lanes, the usual number needed for regattas, but not the 14 required for the state championships. The 14 lanes were set but were only 67 feet wide and race rules require 80 feet. In order to do this, it meant moving the course about 150 feet seaward and using a quarter-mile course for all races, instead of a half-mile course for the longer races. It took several hours to reset the course and the regatta didn't get under way until 11 a.m. From left Dave Parsons, State Boating Manager, Bill Paty, Director Department of Land & Natural Resources, xx, Rex Johnson, Director, Department of Transportation, Michael Tongg, President HCRA, Mufi Hannemann.
