TRANSPACIFIC YACHT CLUB

Congratulations on your recent entry into the most prestigious yacht race in the world - the 2007 Los Angeles, California to Honolulu, Hawaii Transpacific Yacht Race. Enclosed is a list of inspectors for your convenience. Inspection of the vessel must be completed by Sunday, July 1, 2007. This will allow ample time to remedy any discrepancies. If your vessel will not be in the Southern California area prior to the Sunday July 1, 2007 date, please contact me at your earliest so that we may set up a date for inspection. We will be more than happy to accommodate you.

This is a courtesy inspection and does not relieve the owner/charter of his/her obligation of fulfilling the equipment requirements for a Category I race. Copies of the current 2006-2007 U.S. Edition of ISAF Special Regulations, governing offshore and oceanic equipment preparation, can be obtained from most marine hardware stores (West Marine, etc.) or Transpacific web site: http://www.transpacificyc.org
