Past Award Recipients

Past winners exemplify the diversity of the Pacific Cup fleet, racing everything from double-handed 24-foot boats to fully crewed cruisers and “fast-is-fun” sleds – and every participant is a winner in the “Fun Race to Hawaii” whether they win a major trophy or not!

This year’s awards will be presented during the Awards Ceremonies at Kaneohe Yacht Club on July 22, 2022.
