Whittier Trust and Transpac: The Perfect Fit

There is a strong connection between Transpac and Whittier Trust, now in its third year as the Heritage Sponsor in this year’s 52nd edition of the race. This connection is not only based on shared principles of planning and managing risks for beneficial outcomes, something inherent to all ocean racers. As the oldest, private multi-family office headquartered on the West Coast, more than 500 families place their trust in Whittier to do the same: be prepared to navigate the wide range of uncertainties we face in current circumstances that require a steady hand at the helm and sound judgment.

Four Weeks Until First Transpac Race Start

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.
