Third wave of fastest boats get fastest start in 2021 Transpac by Transpacific Yacht Club 17 Jul 22:35 UTC From July 13, 2021 Powered by the best breeze of the week - 10-15 knots at the start off Point Fermin - today s final 19 entries in four divisions vaulted off the start line towards Honolulu, 2225-miles away, in the 2021 Transpac. These are the fastest boats in the fleet entered in Divisions 1, 2, 3 and 4, and vary from 52 to 77 feet in length, with all expecting a speedy passage ahead. The current monohull course record set by the VPLP 100 Comanche in 2017 is 5D-1H-55M-26S, an average speed of over 18 knots. A few days ago we got excited when the weather models lined us up for what looked like could be a record run, said Peter Isler, navigator on Roy Disney s turbo Volvo 70 Pyewacket (inset photo - Sharon Green/Ultimate Sailing) This is less certain now, but it still looks like a fast race ahead if we can get off the coast tonight.

Aegean 600 - Day 1 © Nikos Alevromytis / AleN At Cape Sounion under the gaze of the temple of Poseidon, Greek god of the Sea, the fleet of the first edition of the Aegean 600 set off today for the start of their 605-mile odyssey throughout the Aegean archipelago. Thirty-eight monohull and multihull teams started in a gentle 7-9 knot south easterly breeze with a small upwind lap to round a buoy set just off the spectacular 100-meter sea cliffs at the Cape. From here the fleet heads south towards their first island rounding mark at the southwest corner of Milos, about 60 miles away. The weather forecast predicts light headwinds throughout the night until resuming about midday tomorrow from the south, but unlikely to exceed 10 knots in strength. By then the faster boats may be starting the next leg on a faster spinnaker reach headed ESE towards a rounding mark placed within the spectacular caldera of Santorini.
