This class, racing within the monohull fleet, is open to heavy traditional cruising-type yachts. A numerical screen, the “Aloha Class Qualifier” has been created to determine those monohull yachts which will qualify for the Aloha Class. TPYC will use this Aloha Class Qualifier as a guide and reserves the right to determine whether any particular yacht may race in the Aloha Class. Eligibility for the Aloha Class will be determined following submission of final rating information. All eligible boats will be notified by the Entry Chairman. The Aloha Class yachts will normally come from multiple divisions of the Monohull Fleet. Many will be assigned to the first start. Larger and faster Aloha Class yachts may be assigned a later start date.
This trophy has been generously donated by the Burla family to the Transpacific YC in honor of their father Ronald’s commitments to promote and publicize this race in its early days through his position at the Hawaii Visitor Bureau. Ron was responsible for taking press members out to Diamond Head to see the finishes and was a founding member of the Waikiki YC, so TPYC and the Burla family thought it best to re-purpose this award to go to the team who provides the most interesting and original media content during the race.
Awarded to the entry that provides the most creative and original media content related to their on-board experience while sailing in the Transpac Race. Photos, videos and/or written stories are all eligible, with one submission made per boat sent after their start and within 24 hours of their finish. Content should be emailed to burla@transpacyc.com. A panel of judges from TPYC and the race's Media Team will decide the winner from among all submissions and announce this at the Awards Ceremony.
This is an award to recognize the best performance of a team of three yachts in any division, with no more than two yachts in the same division.
