In four short weeks – Tuesday, June 27 th – the first wave of starters in the 2023 Transpac Race will be assembled off Point Fermin in anticipation of their 1300 starting signal to set off towards the finish line in Honolulu, 2225- miles away. This will be the start of the 52 rd edition of this biennial ocean racing classic organized by the Transpacific Yacht Club and first run in 1906.
This first wave will consist of 14 monohulls from 35 to 63 feet in length – but why such a broad range? Because these boats are anticipated to take the longest elapsed times to get to Hawaii. Starting them first helps compress the fleet arrival times in Hawaii so more of the participants may be together after their finishes.
