Registration for the 2022 Vic-Maui International Yacht Race opened on January 15th and within a few days, four boats committed to the race, while several other registrations are progressing.

With a 25-boat maximum, those dreaming of a yacht race to paradise will want to reach out soon - the super-early deadline in the Notice of Race is March 31, 2021. The Lahaina class makes possible for well-found cruisers to pursue this once-in-a-lifetime tropical race.

For offshore race yachts, this can be your opportunity to challenge the eight day, nine hours, 17 minute record achieved by Valkyrie in 2016. A true challenge for navigators - there's no single formula for success in the 2,308 nautical mile race.

Boating BC is hosting FREE registration for the February 24-27 virtual Vancouver International Boat Show and Vic-Maui will hold three video conferences, your opportunity to discover the adventure and wild fun.

The three Vic-Maui Race seminar topics, speakers, dates/times at VIBS:

  • Preparing Your Boat For Offshore - Christof Marti
    • Thursday, February 25 at 2:30 - 3:30 PM

  • Vic-Maui for Racers and Cruisers - Jim Innes
    • Friday, February 26 at 11 AM - 12 PM

  • Offshore Personal Survival Training - David Sutcliffe
    • Friday, February 26 at 3 - 4 PM

If you're keen to sail offshore, and are prepared to commit to the race and/or homeward delivery, register in the Vic-Maui Crew Bank.
