The Transpac Honolulu Race Elapsed Time Record Trophy (aka The Clock Trophy) was reset to the monohull race record set in the 2017 Transpac Race by Jim Clark’s 100-foot COMANCHE in a ceremony at Newport Harbor Yacht Club on Saturday, May 11th. The last time this clock was set was in 2009 by Neville Crichton’s R/P 90 ALFA ROMEO at a time of 5 days 14 hours 36 min 20 sec.
The new time on this beautiful trophy designed by Andrea Favilli and donated by Roy Disney is 5 days 1 hour 55 min 26 sec.
