TRANSPAC 2025 UNDERWAY Four divisions began racing at 1320, local time, on the waters off of Los Angeles’s Point Fermin. Organised by the Transpacific Yacht Club, the biennial event is considered one of the world’s premier ocean races. It uses three pursuit-style starts spread over five days (July 1, 3, and 5, 2025) to help all 53 boats finish within days of each other at Honolulu’s Diamond Head. With boats ranging from 35 to 88 feet, the staggered starts favour smaller vessels first so the fleet can make landfall in Hawaii around the same time.
