Trisha Steele, a fourth-generation Transpac racer and a recent owner of MERLIN, dedicated a new trophy, the MERLIN Trophy for the fastest elapsed time for the unlimited class of yachts competing in the Transpac Race. The trophy, built by Ken Gardiner, is a scale model of MERLIN, the famed Bill Lee-designed 68-footer. Complimenting Lee, Steele said, “He has been a great innovator in Transpac yachting and has been a member of the Transpacific Yacht Club for years. This trophy is to commemorate his contribution over the years.”

Sandwiched between the corporate high rises of downtown and the Queen Mary, Rainbow Harbor is home to the Transpac fleet as they gather and prepare for the Race. For two weeks prior to the start competitors enjoy complimentary moorings at the marina. Shoreline Village with its shops, attractions, restaurants and watering holes, surrounds Rainbow Harbor and serves as the gathering place for race participants, as well as local residents. Held during the Long Beach Sea Festival, Transpac Village and Rainbow Harbor has become the place where the public can get an up-close look at the racing yachts.
