Once again, the challenge of racing 2,225 nautical miles from Los Angeles to Hawaii is drawing all types of boats, from high-tech multihulls to traditional monohulls, from amateurs racing for the first time to veteran competitors who've racked up several Transpacs in their sea logs.

Recent entries include students from Cal Maritime racing their newly-acquired SC50 Oaxaca. Among the speedsters, we welcome the return of Tom Holthus's Botin 56 BADPAK, which finished 2nd in class in the 2023 Transpac. The top three sled teams from 2023—Roy Disney's Pyewacket, David Clark's Grand Illusion and Jack Jennings's Pied Piper—are all back for another go.

But racing in Transpac doesn't require professional sailors and vessels with deep racing pedigrees; it's also a competition for racer/cruisers, such as Bernt Helgaas's Norseman 447 Andreas, Christian Doegl's Swan 461 Free and Stacy Sinclair's Kelly Peterson Rhiannon—a former circumnavigator that Sinclair now lives aboard and has raced in Marina Del Rey to Puerto Vallarta.

From farther afield, we welcome Andries Verder's Marten 72 Aragon from the Netherlands and the Australian-flagged Volvo 70 Noahs II, owned and skippered by Johannes Schwarz.
