FOLLOW MAYHEM’S JOURNEY AS SHE RACES FROM LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA TO HAWAII FOR THE 50th BIENNIAL TRANSPACIFIC YACHT RACE!

About Transpac 
Starting July 10, 2019, Transpac is holding their 50th biennial race across the Pacific. Sailboats will race 2,225 nautical miles from Long Beach, California to Diamond Head, Hawaii. This 100+ year old sailing race was evoked by Hawaii’s King Kalakaua, when he invited San Francisco’s Pacific Yacht Club to race in honor of his 50th birthday, back in 1897. Despite the Royal offer not being fulfilled at that particular time, the race finally came into fruition in June of 1906, when three sailboats raced from Los Angeles, California to Honolulu, Hawaii.

About Mayhem
Mayhem is a Hobie 33, and is one of three boats racing in the Hobie 33 fleet this year. The Hobie 33’s make up some of the smallest boats to race. Their sleek, low, sled-like nature make for a thrilling ride down-wind with following seas, but guarantee a soggy crew at the finish line.

Mayhem is only one of two Hawaii boats that will race home! Most of the 93 entrees will either race from their home state, California, or represent their countries. Additionally, Mayhem’s entire crew are members of Transpac’s hosting organization, Hawaii Yacht Club.
