The 63-foot Reichel/Pugh-designed GoodEnergy co-skippered by George Hershman and Mark Comings is now the 60th entry in this year s 51st edition of the Transpac, the Transpacific Yacht Club s 2225-mile ocean racing classic from Los Angeles to Honolulu. GoodEnergy joins a strong fleet of similar high-performance monohulls along with a diverse array of many other boat types who will be starting in the race in three waves beginning on July 13th, 2021.
Having just bought this proven offshore yacht from Australia - she was built in 2009 as Loki in carbon/nomex at McConaghy, and was the 2011 winner of the Rolex Sydney-Hobart Race - Hershman thinks this is right time for Transpac.

The Board of Directors of the Transpacific Yacht Club has confirmed the 2021 Transpac yacht race is on. Interest is strong among participants, sponsors and members of the club to have no interruption this year in the 105-year history of this classic 2225-mile biennial ocean race from Los Angeles to Honolulu.
With a strong turnout of 58 entries to date, three start dates are still on schedule, with the first start planned for July 13, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges for us in planning this 51st edition of the race, said TPYC Commodore Jim Eddy, particularly for shore side logistics and social events at both the start and finish venues. Nonetheless, we have been working through many scenarios with some expert help and feel confident about conducting this race safely.
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.
