With the first of three starts now less than six months away, the 51st edition of the biennial Los Angeles to Honolulu Transpac race is still building its entry list, having reached 52 registered yachts last week. More entries are being anticipated, with race organizers at the Transpacific Yacht Club recently extending the deadline for Standard Entry Fee payment from March 1st to April 30th, 2021.
"We felt that this year people need a little more time for their planning and not feel rushed due to an early entry fee deadline," said TPYC Commodore Jim Eddy. "The turnout so far is quite strong, we have a lot of enthusiasm for this race, and we look forward to assisting our entries with their planning needs."
