Vic-Maui Send-off Party - Victoria

This is the Send-off Party for the boats and sailors who are heading to Hawaii!  Walk the docks, ogle the boats, mix and mingle with the crews, enjoy food and refreshments, catch the sense of anticipation and the scent of salty adventure.  The Send-off Party is open to Vic-Maui race crew, delivery crew, shore crew, family & friends, sponsors, officials, and volunteers.  

Tickets:  In Victoria, each boat that is entered in the 2018 Vic-Maui will automatically receive one ticket for each Vic-Maui crew member at no additional cost.  Other attendees, including delivery crew, shore crew, family & friends, will need to purchase tickets to attend the send-off party.   Tickets are CA$10, deliberately inexpensive, when purchased early.

Victoria to Maui International Yacht Race

The Victoria to Maui International Yacht Race is hosted by the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club and the Lahaina Yacht Club.  First contested in 1965 and sailed every second year since 1968, Vic-Maui is the pinnacle of Pacific Northwest ocean racing. Vic-Maui starts in July off Victoria, British Columbia and finishes near Lahaina, Maui, a distance of approximately 2308 nautical miles.  

Vic-Maui challenges navigators to demonstrate their weather routing and navigational skills. Success depends on the navigator’s skill in predicting where the Pacific High pressure zone and trade winds will be, nearly a week into the future.  

The adventure includes sailing around the Pacific High and surfing downwind in the trades. The days pass quickly with the fleet surrounded by dolphins and albatross, spectacular sunrises, sunsets and brilliant starlit nights.  

Teamwork gets the boats to the finish line near Lahaina, where each arriving boat is greeted with an outstanding Hawaiian welcoming party. Family and friends meet the racers to celebrate the accomplishment with hugs, leis and mai-tais. Many crew stay to spend more time enjoying Maui with their families before heading home.
