The Notice of Race is live and registration opens June 1, 2024.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA—The Transpacific Yacht Club has published the Notice of Race for the 2025 edition of the Los Angeles to Honolulu Transpacific Yacht Race. Known as the Transpac and held biennially since 1906, this will be the 53rd edition of this classic 2,225-mile ocean race.

Registration opens on June 1, 2024, and is open to offshore-capable racing and cruising monohull yachts from 30 to 100 feet in length that also meet other criteria listed in the NOR.

Transpac Adopts Rating System that Incorporates Weather

At their March meeting, the Transpacific Yacht Club (TPYC) Board of Directors adopted a rating system that incorporates weather predictions at the recommendation of the club’s technical committee following their analysis of previous race data . The 2025 Transpacific Yacht Race will employ Time-on-Time Forecast Time Correction Factor (F-TCF) ratings calculated from the polar performance data from each boat’s ORR certificate and weather predictions available on the morning of each start. Weather-adjusted ratings computed for each start day maximize the chances for each division to compete fairly against the entire fleet.

Save the Date for the 2025 Transpacific Yacht Race

TPYC is pleased to announce the start dates for the monohull classes of the 2025 Transpac:

July 1 July 3 July 5

We look forward to welcoming the fleet in San Pedro and sending them to Honolulu in early July. Stay tuned for the NOR to be released in the next few months.

Multihull start dates to be determined.

A yachting way of life fades

The Malibu Yacht Club was in existence for 60 years, when dwindling membership and rough seas ended a once vibrant sport in Malibu waters.

By Hans Laetz / Special to The Malibu Times

One upon a time, the beaches of Malibu were flecked with dozens of sailboats anchored in the sand. Catamarans, dugouts, little sabots and other wind-powered boats were lined up on the sand all along the coast.

In the 1970s, between 50 and 70 catamarans were kept at the Malibu Yacht Club, a vacant lot on the strand just east of the Malibu Pier. “Beer can” races (named after the prizes) were held every weekend.

“It was wonderful, a paradise,” said Bill Schultz, remembering the sailing, the races and the parties.

Special regattas had 200 homemade catamarans navigating the ocean near Surfrider Beach, he recalled.

It was in 1946 that the Malibu Yacht Club was founded by a group of sabot sailors- sabots basically being dinghies with sails. Club members soon began playing with exotic, multihull homemade boats called “catamarans.”

“Our club president, Warren Seaman, had been to Hawaii and [had] seen the native outriggers,” recalled longtime yacht club sailor and former Malibu resident Jerry Smith. “Pretty soon, the whole Malibu coast had all these experimental boats made out of resin and plywood.”

A new variety of homemade sailboat, called the Malibu Outrigger, was invented and perfected along this coast. On most weekends, the horizon was marked with sails.

Today, it’s rare to see a sail on the Malibu coast. And since the landing of powered watercraft along the city’s 27-mile coastline is illegal, that means recreational boating is all but moribund in Malibu waters.

Old salts say the relative popularity of boating ebbs and flows, and right now it’s growing again. Record attendance is reported at the Los Angeles Boat Show, which is open at the Convention Center downtown through this weekend. Business writers say Californians, flush with refinance cash from their escalating house values, are snapping up boats.

But in Malibu, having a boat these days means having a trailer, or renting a slip 20 to 30 miles away at Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard, or in Marina del Rey. The local geography means the nearest marinas and boat launching ramps are too far from Malibu to allow for day sailors to reach local waters.

“And people are not just sailing the little boats anymore,” said yacht broker Steve Curran, who at one time was the Hobie Cat dealer in Malibu. Curran said he sold dozens of the small catamarans during the 1970s and ’80s “They had the speed, they had the colors, they had the styling and they were cheap. People just dragged them up on the beach.”

Mike Inman, another boat dealer, said the small boat sailing market may have been a victim of its own success.

“People got the taste of sailing on a small cat, and the first thing they want is to go to Catalina and sleep on the boat,” he said. “You can’t do that on a Hobie.”

But in the 1970s, people did just that, wrapping a sleeping bag in a waterproof sack and charging off from Malibu, out through the waves and crossing 40 miles of open ocean to camp on Catalina Island, Schultz said.

“If you had the speed, which those boats do, you could push off the beach, set the sail, snap down the rudders and just blow through the waves,” Schultz said. “And coming on with the waves, you could surf them. Man, that was fun.”

The bigger boats favored by people nowadays need slips or launching ramps, and cannot negotiate the Malibu surf, Inman said. And the city of Malibu bans power craft, including little boats commonly called Jet Skis, from landing on public and private beaches within city limits.

But why do few pleasure boats travel along the picturesque Malibu coast, when hundreds of them float off Venice or Manhattan beaches on lazy sunny days?

“Malibu is so far from Marina del Rey, and Catalina Island is only a little bit further. Plus Malibu is straight upwind from the marina, and you really get beat up coming up there,” said Inman. “It takes a lot to get to Malibu.”

Nevertheless, that does not deter a small flotilla of yachts and sailboats from routinely anchoring at Paradise Cove during summer months, when waves and winds are less forceful and a boat anchor will hold. Winter storms will take almost anything at anchor, and there are no fixed buoys for pleasure boats anywhere in Malibu.

Last December’s high waves washed away a few catamarans beached at Paradise Cove, taking nearly the last small boats that remained on the local scene.

The closest marina to Malibu is not Marina del Rey, but is Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard. Slip rental there is about $350 a month, although boats can be stored on land there for a third of that cost.

That leaves trailer boats as the last alternative for Malibu boat fans, Inman said. He sells a sleep-aboard sailboat called the Macgregor 26M, a flat-bottomed sailboat that trailers easily and yet is safe and big enough to sleep six onboard at Catalina Island.

But few teenagers sail anymore, Inman said.

“Computer games, iPods, all sorts of alternative entertainment things [take their attention],” he said. “They just aren’t that interested in sailing anymore.”

The Malibu Yacht Club lost its lease 20 years ago, and moved to a windier spot at Trancas. Smith, who has been a member since 1969, said the rougher surf at Trancas was a factor in dwindling membership.

“They were all a bunch of sissies, they didn’t like crashing out through the surf,” Smith recalled with a laugh.

Winter storms in 1998 washed the remaining sailboats and the storage container housing sails into the ocean, ending the club’s official presence after 60 years.

23 MXZ: All-New for 2024

Truth On The Water™

The Malibu Wakesetter 23 MXZ combines style, performance, and technology to create one of the most popular pickle-fork boats on the market. And all-new for 2024, the Malibu Wakesetter 23 MXZ is built for the crew that demands pro-level wakes and waves behind the boat and next-level luxury inside. The 23 MXZ features an expansive pickle-fork bow and ultra-plush cockpit lounge with flexible, ergonomic seating to accommodate your crew of 16. And, with Malibu's signature wake-making features, you can create the perfect wake or wave for any rider — whether it's mellow for skim-style tricks or aggressive for surf-style airs off of the lip and advanced wakeboarding tricks.

In other words, if you're looking for maximized space & performance, the 23 MXZ is the only place you should be — let's get on the water.

Wakesetter 23 MXZ

Wake Plus™ Hull

This hull was designed specifically for wakesurfing and wakeboarding applications. It allows the boat to sit deeper in the water at slower speeds, creating more water displacement for perfect wakes and surf waves at speed.

Tower Options

Opt for the brand new Malibu G10+™ Tower (pictured here) that raises and lowers at the turn of a dial and includes overhead lighting to illuminate the lounge. Or, select the Malibu standard G5™ Tower that effortlessly stows gear, tows riders, and easily folds low.

Wireless Charging

Opt for wireless charging in the lounge of the 23 MXZ so you and your crew can stay connected all day long.

Malibu Stern Turn™

The available Stern Turn allows the captain to activate a rear thruster from the throttle to turn the boat on a dime for easy water maneuvering and effortless docking capabilities.

MaxPivot Seat™

Customize your interior with the MaxPivot Seat™ to create a bed at the back, or a rear-facing bench seat with or without the table flipped up.

Natalie Seat™

The Natalie Seat upgrade provides a combination wind dam and seat back that greatly increases the functional seating capacity of the bow.

The Natalie Seat™ upgrade provides a combination wind dam and seatback that greatly increases the functional seating capacity of the bow.

Max-Pivot Seat™

To help you make the most of your lounge on the 23 MXZ, we’ve added the Max-Pivot Seat™ which smoothly changes between a bed at the back, or moves forward to create a rear-facing bench seat with or without the table flipped up.

Fast-Fill & Fast-Drain Ballast

New fast-fill ballast pumps have the boat weighted down before you can get your gear on, so it’s a quick and easy transition from one sport to the next.

• performance

Known for its spacious bow paired with its roomy interior, the 23 MXZ holds up to 16 of your favorite wakesurfing and wakeboarding crew members.

Passengers in the pickle-fork bow can still enjoy all the amenities you love from the rest of the boat — cup holders, phone holders, fold-down armrests, customizable LED lighting, plush, hand-stitched seating.

The 23 MXZ's pickle-fork bow allows you to face forward or backward with plenty of space to stretch out. And, new for 2024 you can opt for the Natalie Seat™ which gives you both a wind break and a seat back, so the whole bow becomes a playpen with even more seating.

The transom of the 23 MXZ makes it super easy to get set up for riding thanks to the new transom seating.

Thanks to the Wake Plus™ Hull, the Malibu Wakesetter 23 MXZ cruises effortlessly in all water conditions and makes perfect wakes and waves.

No matter where you sit in the lounge of the 23 MXZ, there’s always a cupholder and phone holder within reach.

Stunning new contours give the 23 MXZ a standout appearance both on and off the water. Add in the new gelcoat and metal flake options and you can make it your own personal work of art.

On the 23 MXZ, you can walk on Soft Grip all the way from the lounge to the swim platform, which is really nice for keeping your vinyl clean. When you get there, you can step down to the Soft Grip on the platform and either get ready to ride or go for a swim.

The Wake Plus™ Hull on the 23 MXZ is built to generate epic wakes and waves straight from the factory & provide a smooth ride when running down the lake.

The captain is king in the 23 MXZ. The Malibu Command Center™ puts everything the captain needs in arms reach so your watersport of choice is just a button away.

The maximized interior space of the 23 MXZ is really appreciated in the bow where there is room for everyone to spread out.

And for even more options, upgrade to the new MaxPivot™ Seat to go from a bench seat to a bed to rear-facing seat with or without a table.

The 23 MXZ was designed to maximize interior space for your entire crew to enjoy as well as having storage space for all your crew's gear.

The helm of the new 23 MXZ is all about the Malibu Command Center, featuring two high-visibility touch screens to make your life easier in every way. The main screen has everything you need for watersports like rider presets, water depth, speed, and engine vitals so they’re all easy to access while driving.

When you’re ready to surf, wakeboard, or foil, the whole lounge can transform into a wake stadium with pop-up rear-facing seating. And for even more options, upgrade to the new MaxPivot™ Seat.

With Surf Gate®, the 23 MXZ allows you to make a perfect wave on either side of the boat and it switches fast, which means you can transfer from side to side and open up a whole new world of tricks.

The 23 MXZ wakesurfing wave has room for you and your friend to shred all summer long.

The Wake Plus™ Hull is built to generate epic wakes and waves straight from the factory so you don’t have to spend a lot of time messing around with the wake—it’s clean and symmetrical every time.

With Malibu's signature wake technology, you can crew waves that are mellow for skim style tricks or aggressive for surf style airs off of the lip.

When you’re ready to ride, the captain can select the preset for your surf side or level of riding, hit “load” and the boat does all the work for you.

No matter what your skill level is as a wakesurfer, the 23 MXZ will deliver your best pull.

With Malibu's signature wake technology, you can crew wakes that are perfect for beginner/intermediate wakeboarding or aggressive for advanced tricks.

The wave customization doesn't stop—create short, rampy waves to grab air while wakesurfing.

The new fast-fill ballast pumps have the 23 MXZ weighted down before you can get your gear on, so it’s a quick and easy transition from one sport to the next. Whether you’re surfing or wakeboarding, Power Wedge® III will lift and shape the wake to create exactly the face you’re looking for.

Islanders sights set high in national boat race

A group of Guernsey rowers are hoping to secure a top 10 finish in the Monster the Loch race.

Guernsey is sending three teams to compete against about 100 crews rowing the length of Scotland's Loch Ness on Saturday.

Those taking part include international rowers and kayakers using vessels including self-built rowing boats and 18-man Dragon Boats.

Cox Nicky Will said: "It's a long race, 21 miles. So that's a big challenge for us. Completely different rowing conditions. We're used to waves, rocks, tides."

In 2023, 100 crews and 420 competitors from all over the World took part in the race.

The current record for the 21-mile course is held by the Great British 8s who clocked a time of two hours and four minutes.

Sam de Kooker said: "We've all been rowing all season, we've done about 15 races each, doing lots of training and some of us have been training through winter as well.

"The races that we do over here are probably the best preparation because you are into that higher level and higher intensity racing."

Speed Boat Beach powers home a winner for Baffert in Malibu

In a stretch battle befitting its status as Santa Anita’s opening-day headliner, Tuesday’s Grade 1, $300,000  Malibu Stakes  showcased  Speed Boat Beach  and stablemate Hejazi as they threw down from the quarter pole home.

With favored Speed Boat Beach prevailing by 1 1/2 lengths while getting the seven furlongs in 1:21.70, trainer Bob Baffert collected the exacta as well as his record-tying sixth win in the race, putting him atop the prestigious Malibu list with fellow Hall of Famer Richard Mandella.

“It is a good feeling,” Baffert said. “Turning for home I knew I was going to win it. I wasn’t sure which one it was going to be.”

Ridden by Juan Hernández, Hejazi broke sharply to take the lead from his number 6 post position, but he was headed by Speed Boat Beach and Flavien Prat to his inside a half-mile out.

Racing as a team into and around the far turn, it appeared Hejazi put a head in front at the quarter pole. When they straightened for home, Speed Boat Beach was all business, opening up by a length. From there he was able to repel a resolute challenge from Hejazi to register his first Grade 1 win.

“He was really sharp early,” said Prat, who had three wins Tuesday. “I got him to relax, and we took a little breather. Around the turn he really went well. He didn’t mind being on the inside. He was really in a good rhythm today.”

Prat, who had not ridden Speed Boat Beach since Dec. 4, 2022, rang up his second win in the Malibu, following up on his opening-day score two years ago aboard undefeated super horse Flightline.

A Florida-bred, 3-year-old colt by 2014 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Bayern out of the Pioneerof the Nile mare Sophia Mia, Speed Boat Beach made his third start of the year. He came off a fourth-place finish in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint over the same course but a furlong shorter Nov. 4.

“His issue is that he has always been very aggressive,” Baffert said. “He’s aggressive in the mornings and aggressive in his races. We have been working on getting him relaxed, a lot of schooling. ... Prat worked him for me today, and he actually worked really well with Prat. He got along with him really well, got him to come off the bit a little bit.”

Speed Boat Beach went off as the 8-5 favorite in a field seven sophomores and paid $5.20, $3.20 and $2.60. Owned by Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman, Speed Boat Beach is also a Grade 3, one-mile, turf winner who notched his third graded stakes win and his fourth win from seven starts.

With the winner’s share of $180,000, Speed Boach Beach hiked his earnings to $498,000.

Off as the second choice at 2-1, Hejazi finished three lengths clear of Giant Mischief and paid $4.00 and $2.60.

Carrying odds of 10-1 and jockey Kazushi Kimura, Giant Mischief broke from the rail and rallied for third place, finishing 2 ¼ lengths in front of Damon’s Mound and returning $4.00 to show.

Fractions for the race on the fast main track were 22.21, 44.42 and 1:08.65 in front of an announced crowd of 37,143.

Without declaring a next race for Speed Boat Beach, Baffert said, “I see big things for him down the road.”
