Taking a breather from pre-race prep on the largest boat in the fleet, Stan breaks down all three race segments and provides a pre-race weather report.
In the first episode of 2025’s Transpac Onboard, we meet legendary navigator Stan Honey in the cockpit of Bryon Ehrhart's Lucky, where he is preparing to race across the Pacific in the 2025 edition of the Transpac.

It’s not every day that serious offshore sailors get the opportunity to party aboard a decommissioned WWII battleship—but it’s also not every day that world-class sailors gather to race across 2,225 miles of open Pacific Ocean. The 53rd edition of the biennial Transpacific Yacht Race, established in 1906 and organized by the Transpacific Yacht Club, celebrated the official start of 2025 festivities at last night’s Aloha Send Off Party, hosted by race partners Fess Parker Winery and Third Window Brewing.
