At Quantum, we love the thrill of being offshore; the beautiful sunsets and sunrises, miles and miles of flying downwind, and putting our skills to the test. We also love the stories that go along with such epic racing. So we asked Quantum team members competing in the 2021 Transpac to keep us updated on their trip to Hawaii. Read the blog posts from Dehler 46, Team Favonius below.
After a fairly typical beat from the start to the west end of Catalina, and a shifty puffy fight past the remaining channel islands we have settled in on our course to Hawaii. Winds are fairly moderate in the 10-12kt range making for an easy transition into our watch routine.
The Favonius is a new Dehler 46 of the performance racer cruiser design genre. A spacious and comfortable interior makes for a nice off watch for the crew but this is also balanced out by a tall carbon rig and bulb keel with plenty of power to get up and go. Owner Greg Dorn first commissioned her in 2019 for local racing on SF Bay and with an eye to longer offshore trips. A new inventory of Quantum sails and some electronics upgrades makes her formidable on the race course but other than that she is fairly stock and can go right back into full cruising mode without too much trouble.
To get ready for Transpac 2021 we first did the Cabo race in March as a shake down. There have been a few other practices in the meantime and detail tweaking. We couldn’t be happier with the prep. We have been spoiled by having veteran boat captain and ocean racer Ashley Perrin prep the boat. She and Captain Greg are the watch captains, Will Paxton (me) is the navigator, regular crew members Matt Sessions and Cam Tuttle have been on the campaign from the start, and we are rounded out by Greg’s son Nick and Cassidy Lynch for some youth and enthusiasm to go along with their small boat racing talents.
Cheers until later, Will Paxton / Team Favonius
Favonius, Roman god of the West wind, is the inspiration for the name of our Dehler 46 we are currently surfing to Hawaii. The wind Gods in general have certainly been shining on us and most of the fleet the last several days as we all had a straight shot out to the ridge and the tradewinds in easy going wind strengths in the low teens. This is a sharp contrast to some years past I can remember of reefs and #4 jibs going airborne off waves while no one had much of an appetite! We only had one queasy crew this time and a couple pills and a night's sleep made him right.
The race up to now has been all about setting the boat up to reach efficiently at various wind angles. We started out with a jib on the outboard lead and then sailed for most of a day with our Quantum cabeless code zero. We love this sail as the self supporting luff actually projects like a spinnaker making it fast at lower angles that you normally would need an A3 reacher to cover. The stable luff of the sail also makes it easy on drivers and trimmers as you do not run it over on surfs in the dark. Also speaking of the dark I made sure we deployed all of our night time sailmaker tricks as the luffs of our spinnakers and draft stripes on upwind sails are all vibrant glow in the dark tape and we put sets of white telltails on everything so they are easy to see against the dark modern sail skins. Another good bonus is that our boat captain used a label gun on top of glow tape to mark all of the clutches and key controls so they can be seen without need for blinding flashlights.
After the code zero we switched to our fractional A5 reacher. This sail is heavily built so it can handle the loads of tight reaching and associated snap fills that can occur. This sail fits the space between reaching headsails and running spinnakers and is fractional to help with steering our heavier boat in a sea state at tight angles. We would normally have a reef in with this but the winds were light enough we could go full boogie with the main and we are feeling great about our performance in general as the conditions are matching our strengths and we are sailing well within our chosen sail plan.
Now the big runner is up and the sheets are easing - this is what we came here for! Time to put some sunscreen on and go surfing with 1500 miles of beautiful ocean to go.

The modern navigator is a busy guy. Roll calls and position reports, data downloading, and lots of weather and routing analysis in front of the computer. It’s a far cry from the first Hawaii race I did where the navigator hunches in front of the SSB radio diligently taking notes once a day and tuning in some weather faxes printed on paper! It is in fact a full time job and on our boat like many others, I make my own schedule outside of the rest of the regular sailing crews watch rotation.
Being one of the more experienced sailors on the boat, I also come with a lot of driving experience meaning I fill in at the helm at night when there is a premium on good driving. The nights have mostly been moonlit (good scheduling by the race organizer!) but several of the nights there are a few hours after the moonset and before sunrise that are truly black and IFR conditions if you understand pilot lingo! This part is my specialty. You have to feel the dip and roll of the boat under your feet while surfing down waves in 20ish kts of wind all the while keeping the spinnaker full and intently watching fast flicking dimmed instruments while calculating heading, TWA, True Wind, and True wind direction along with boat speed to balance it all. You can’t really see your friends in the dark but they are there offering advice while holding on to sheets and vang just in case.
Then with relief the eastern sky starts to light up. The horizon, deck of the boat, your hands, friends and everything else re-materialize. This is just about the time I hand the helm off and go fire up the satellite comms and start writing out the 8am position report, downloading positions and new weather info and plugging it all into Expedition on the computer for analysis. I’m usually done with this around 11am and hit the bunk for a few hours rest. Late afternoon I wake up and refresh the weather data and routing and do some sailing on deck with everyone- dinner hour is the best social hour on the Favonius and we usually have some good surfing music going.
Then it's time for night sailing all over again. Suffice it so say I haven’t needed to put on too much sunscreen this time around hence the vampire reference! The race is zooming by and it's been a great trip thus far. The guys and gals on deck just put in a reef and we are blasting through a squall with 25kt winds. I’m headed up there next!
Navigator Will / Team Favonius
Please bring your seats to the upright position, stow your tray tables, and pass your trash to the aisle... We actually saw surprisingly little trash this trip given the northerly routing. Perhaps all those efforts to collect it are working? Surely there is a lot more to do there! And another side note- I often tell my friends that haven't done it yet who ask what it's like to cross the big blue sea... I tell them to imagine that every 30 mins looking out the window on the plane is a day sailing on the ocean!
But here we are now on final approach with just under 200 miles to go. Up to this point it's been a fairly classic race with a long race on starboard gybe to dig into the lift and then pick your layline on port gybe for the finish knowing that you will be continually headed on the 800 mile trip on port to the Molokai channel. There is a great game of chicken played there as the boat furthest west will be inside the shift and boats to their left will pay a heavy price if they don't lay the finish if they have to take a 2 gybe step over against the shift. On the other hand if you 'over bake it' and go too far there is a long list of boats that had to sneak back up to the Molokai channel with jibs up to make the finish so beware!
This layline call and the final approach to the islands I like to call 'submarine warfare'. Picture every navigator in their hot and sweaty nav station working under red lights in front of their computer, every screen lit up and sat phone online continually hitting refresh trying to gather the most information to make the call. With the 4 hour delay leaders are watching for a change in their competitor's track so they can surmise their current position and cover. Chasers are trying to sneak to the right or maybe make the leader think they are and overstand? Many a boat has gybed and then gybed back at roll call hoping to cause some confusion for the opposing navigator. Often it's a great game of 'he knows that I know that he knows that I know' all the way to the final approach of the finish!
In our fleet final positions are fairly certain and we are focused as a goal on trying to hang onto a slim lead over the SC50 Oaxaca in the next division with my cousin onboard for bragging rights. The boat is littered with funny commentary from the boat captain written on little notes about 'not getting your pole wet' and what sort of person stands in the hatch in front of the instruments. One crew has picked up the title of Rambo for running around with no shirt and his harness on and always seeming to pop out of the hatch at just the right time in this outfit. Yet another shall forever be known as 'Princess' for sneaking a freshwater shower and always needing his personal driving pad to stand on.
As I prepare for my final navigator duties of the 100 mile check in and finish communications I reflect on how quickly we have shrunk the ocean. At the beginning you start with a weather chart that covers half the Pacific Ocean and a zoom out level that you need a globe for context. Now with a couple hundred miles to go all the details of the islands are fleshed out and the whole race seems to fit in the palm of your hand. This race, like my previous 20 or so, will stand out for its own unique sailing challenges and camaraderie. Super looking forward to seeing all my fellow competitors, family, and friends to celebrate our arrival in Waikiki!
Up on deck there is music and laughter and I'm headed up to enjoy the rest of the journey with my friends.
Cheers until later, Navigator Will / Team Favonius

Five of seven crew racing on the Dehler 46 Favonius, including owner Greg Dorn, will set sail this week on their first West Coast to Hawaii race. The crew is competing in the 51st edition of the Transpacific Yacht Race (aka Transpac), a biennial ocean race organized by the Transpacific Yacht Club.
Race starts run in a delayed sequence from July 13-17, with the start line off Point Fermin in Long Beach and finish off Diamond Head in Honolulu.
Dorn has been optimizing the boat for inshore and offshore racing since he received delivery of her in May 2019, assisted by boat captain Ashley Perrin (San Rafael), a Transpac veteran.
“Favonius is a great boat with a very big rig and a relatively high SA/D – sail area displacement ratio – so in essence, she’s very powered up,” Dorn, a Tiburon resident, explained. “We’ve really had to learn how to handle the boat – learning how to drive it, keep it balanced, and going fast.”
In addition to learning the boat, Dorn’s preparations have included extra work on the electronics and the water maker, as well as additional rigging to run different downwind sail sets.
“Ashley runs everything related to the logistics of the boat, safety, and everything in preparing for the trip – she’s been fabulous,” Dorn said. “Once we shove off, then our navigator Will Paxton (Bel Marin Keys), who has sailed numerous Transpac races, will be focused on an optimal course to the finish line.”
Unsurprisingly due to a year of uncertainty and pandemic impact, this year’s entries are down to some 40 boats following a record high of 85 in the race’s 50th anniversary edition in 2019. The race typically entertains at least 10 international entries but this year just one entry from Mexico makes up international representation.
“We would have been thrilled with 60, 50 is fine, 40…well, that’s where we are,” Jim Eddy III, commodore of the Transpacific Yacht Club, noted. “We wanted to continue with the race but it’s not a break even at this point. We are dipping into reserves to make it go and we are happy to do that as that is what the reserves are for, to keep it going regardless. While the social side may not be what is typically is, the ocean and the wind haven’t changed – the experience of that will be what it always is and should be great.”
While the team on the Beneteau 49 Knotty Boo, owned by Jason Holloway and co-skippered by Brent Crawford (Kentfield) are disappointed to be racing without three Danish friends they know through Knarr sailing due to COVID-related travel uncertainties, they’ve not missed a beat with their race training. Earlier in the season they raced the Islands Race and Newport to Ensenada Race.
“The Islands Race especially was great preparation as it uses the same starting line as Transpac and it takes you pretty far offshore so it’s a good sampling of what the race is like,” Crawford, who navigated super tankers on the route between the West Coast and Hawaii for many years, commented. “There are a lot of talented teams competing, and we’d like to win but if we don’t, we’ll still have a good time!”
Michael Moradzadeh, owner of the Santa Cruz 50 Oaxaca, cited multiple list-making as his necessary antidote to ensuring all boxes are checked for his 15th Pacific crossing. But once underway, those mental lists do disappear, he affirmed, to be replaced by a focus on living in the moment.
“The race is a great way to clear your head. It takes me about three days from land to reset to a mentally clear state where I am just focused on the boat. A big element of for me is the dynamic of working with the wonderful and varied people who I sail with and it’s really the small moments of how we accomplish this or that task – whether it’s reefing the sail or changing the spinnaker nicely or figuring out why every time you pump the water pump in the galley water comes out of the sink in the head,” he laughed.
Moradzadeh expects a highly competitive race in his division. “They’re people who we have seen before and whose performance we absolutely respect. Topping the list is Horizon who at first was our distant goal and now they are our fierce competitor which is exciting for us, and we hope for them as well.”
One of the larger boats in this year’s fleet is Artemis, the Botin 65 owned by Ray Paul (San Francisco) racing his first Transpac with a Marin-stacked crew including Hogan Beattie, Sonny Lopez, Dennis Rowedder, Jeff Wayne and Seadon Wijsen.
“I feel like we’re sailing the boat well,” Paul noted. “We’re in a class with four boats, we know who we are racing against and we’re competitive against those boats. Our favorite competitor is Peligroso – we’re close in speed, in some conditions we’re faster and vice versa but we’ve raced against her a lot this season and it’s always a great race for both of us.”

Weather guru Peter Isler of Marine Weather University has provided the following report for Transpac sailors:
The crystal ball is starting to reveal details about the weather for Transpac 2021 and it is looking “interesting”. Although it has been a windy season along the California coast and the equatorial El Nino/La Nina situation is neutral, those climatological trends are not what racers should be looking at now. We only care about a little snapshot of weather — one to two weeks in mid to late July, focusing on the weather now and in the next two weeks, specifically the state of the North Pacific’s summertime feature — the semi stationary high-pressure area and how it will impact the winds on the route to Diamond Head, Hawaii.
With about a week before the start, the weather models are at the edge of their comfort zone, and they don’t all agree. But the high looks to be pretty far west and very oblong shaped, a circle stretched out east to west which creates a nice highway for the trade winds. At this point the trades looks like they will be a touch windier than average. That would mean a fast race. A big “X factor” is a tropical storm that one of the global models see spinning up off the Central American Pacific coast and trekking westward – affecting the wind field – especially the slower boats.
But no-one should be placing their bets yet on how the weather will pan out – as start date approaches the weather models will hopefully be in more agreement and the final decisions of what sails to bring and how to play the tactics will have more certain data to rely on.

Swan 80 Favonius takes first again, and British yacht Zen leads the Classics
Day two of the Rolex Swan Cup saw the different divisions take very different routes. The Swan Maxis went on a hefty 30 nautical mile sail up and down Bomb Alley using the Island of Spargi as a leeward turning mark, whereas the Classics undertook a shorter, 24 nm stroll venturing into the channel as far as Secca di Tre Monti. Meanwhile, the Swan 45s and Club Swan 42s tackled two four-leg windward/leewards of 8 & 7.2nm.
In the Swan Maxis the Swan 80, Favonius (BVI) won once again on the water and on handicap. The Swan 48 Zen (GBR) conceded her waterline length to finish third on the water, but still came first on handicap in the Classics.
Roel Pieper’s Favonius hardly put a foot wrong as she slipped around the course in 3 hours 41 minutes, and seemed to extend her lead throughout the twisting course. Pieper and tactician Roy Heiner have plenty of experience in these waters and, whilst ultimate success has eluded them in the past, if they keep up this standard no one else is going to touch them.
In the Swan 45 division, however, a battle is emerging. Christian Nagel and Hendrik Brandis’ Earlybird (GER) may be top tonight, but by a significantly reduced margin as first Marco Salvi’s Vertigo (ITA) took the finish gun, followed by Carlo Perone’s Atlantica Racing (ITA) in the second race. Elsewhere, Andrea Masi’s Ulika (ITA) scored 2, 4 to close to within one point of the Germans.
The Club Swan 42s raced the same courses as the Swan 45s. The American challengers took top slots in both of the day’s races. John Hele’s Daring’s took the first race of the day, following it with a third. Austin Fragomen’s Interlodge mirrored this with a third and first respectively. These results move Interlodge into second overall, four points off the lead and two ahead of Leonardo Ferragamo’s Cour di Leone (ITA), in third.
Current Provisional Standings:
Swan Maxi (2 races) 1. Favonius, Roel Pieper, BVI, 2 points 2. Spirit Of Jethou, Peter Ogden, GBR, 4 3. Ginger, Leslie Green, ITA, 7
Swan 45 (5 races) 1. Early bird, Hedrik Brandis, GER, 16 2. Ulika, Andrea Masi, ITA, 17 3. Vertigo, Marco Salvi, ITA, 25
Swan 42 (4 races) 1. Kora, Enrico Scemi, ITA, 6 2. Interlodge, Austin Fragomen, USA, 10 3. Cuor Di Leone, Leonardo Ferragamo, ITA, 12
Classic (2 races) 1. Zen, John Bainbridge, GBR, 2 2. Dream, Francesco Persio, ITA, 6 3. Clem, Jaime Olazabal Fourquet, ESP, 9

Published on June 28th, 2023 by Editor -->
Los Angeles, CA (June 28, 2023) – With the first group of 15 yachts making westward progress towards Hawaii after their Transpac start yesterday , the second group is in final preparations for their start tomorrow at 1:00pm PDT. This group is larger – 19 yachts divided into three divisions – and are rated faster on the course so their start two days later is intended to compress the arrivals of finishers at Diamond Head in Honolulu.
Currently the YB tracker indicates yesterday’s starters are making great progress getting off the California coast. Their straight-line tracks indicate they had good steady breeze all night and are now close reaching southwestward in an arcuate path towards Hawaii which still lies over 200 miles away.
Ian Edwards’ Dehler 46 Wings is leading the way in Boatswains Locker Division 7, making over 8 knots, with Greg Dorn’s sistership Favonius not far away doing similar boat speeds on a little more southerly track.
Leading Division 8 is Dean Treadway’s venerable Farr 36 Sweet Okole. Her boat speeds in the high 7 knot range shows she is almost keeping pace with the larger boats to the north and ahead.
Already the rough coastal Pacific conditions have proven challenging with three boats having retired from the race earlier today.
Michael Marion’s Dufour 50 Insoumise reported a broken rudder bearing housing this morning at 0400 PDT and is headed back to San Pedro with all crew safe on board. And Nick Green’s Hylas 63 Malilia (above) also retired, reporting at 0500 that they have an issue with a turnbuckle on their lower shroud. They attempted a jury rig with halyards, running backstays and a topping lift to stabilize the spar and are motoring back to San Pedro via Catalina Island.
Doublehanders Jerome Sammarcelli and Ben Kallwoda’s Carbon 32 Sam have also retired from the race. The team contacted the US Coast Guard when Sammarcelli sustained a severe cut and needed immediate medical treatment.
Once on the scene, the helicopter crew lowered the rescue swimmer, recovered Sammarcelli, and transported him to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla. Kallwoda will be singlehanding their boat back to their base in Marina del Rey. For video, click here .
Among tomorrow starters, the fastest-rated boat in this group, competing among 7 rivals in Division 4, is Bill McKinley’s all-carbon Ker 46+ Denali 3 from Michigan. The team has returned following their spar failure in 2021 just minutes into the race and thus having to withdraw.
“We are really excited to come back and finish what we set out to do in 2021,” said McKinley. “We are armed this time with more experience with the boat and lots of incentive to win. We have a new triple-headsail reaching rig we learned is fast in last summer’s Chicago-Mac, and plan to use it on this race, taking advantage of Transpac allowance of outriggers to get the best sheeting angles for these sails.
“The boat has a wide aft hull form to promote the high stability needed for power reaching. Based on the current forecast of the High being north, we plan to stick close to rhumb line [to reduce distance] then see how the weather evolves in the next few days.”
There are also 6 teams competing in Division 5, the “Fabulous Fifties” class. These are boats representing two generation of Santa Cruz-built racer/cruiser designs: the Santa Cruz 52s and the slightly smaller, lighter and older Santa Cruz 50s.
Both have been raced actively for decades on the Pacific in races to Mexico and Hawaii, and they have highly experienced crews who know how to push their boats and themselves to maximize performance: it’s not uncommon to have podium finishers in this division separated by only minutes in time after a week or more of sailing.
Chris Messano and Bill Durant epitomize the competitive spirit in this class. They underwent a thorough renovation this past winter and spring at Cabrillo Boat Shop to their Santa Cruz 50 Deception.
Messano is a classic car fan and likens their complete refit to be similar to what they did on Deception: a new stern scoop, a new rudder, new keel, gutted and refurbished (and minimalist) interior, new flush portlights and hatches, removal of deck tracks in favor of cleaner and lighter floating clew ring system, and pedestal winches (to name a few).
“We wanted to do this right: take our time, use the right materials, and have not just a better-looking boat but one that performs closer to modern standards of performance.” Starting tomorrow this will be put to the test.
Among the 6 boats entered in Division 6 is a newcomer – Russ Johnson’s Jeanneau 52.2 Blue Moon from Hawaii – who due to her late arrival to California was allowed to switch her start date from yesterday to tomorrow. Also racing in this division is Marie Rogers’ Andrews 56 Good Trouble with a team that is working hard to diversify our sport through their Offshore Racing Outreach program.
“Sailing is such a wonderful transformative sport – it helps people get in touch with their own abilities, both physically and mentally, and enjoy the ocean environment,” said Rogers, a former Commodore at Los Angeles YC and the first black woman to take the helm of a major US yacht club. “But unfortunately, coastal water sports seem to have been reserved for certain types of people.
“For the longest time I’ve said I would love to not be the only black female sailor on a race boat, nor the only black sailing instructor. It’s time for all segments of society to have access to the sailing sport. That is changing now, and through ORO people of color and diverse backgrounds will have opportunities, role models and leaders.”
Good Trouble trimmer James Stewart is an experienced ocean racer from Maryland, and says he’s excited to take part in Transpac, his longest Pacific race to date. He admits his heritage is from many different racial backgrounds: Black, White, and even Hawaiian.
“I’ve raced throughout the Chesapeake, and raced to Bermuda, so I’m really looking forward to starting tomorrow on my first race to Hawaii.”
