NOTICE TO ALL PARTICIPANTS, SPONSORS AND VOLUNTEERS OF THE 2024 VIC-MAUI INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE

Vic-Maui’s trustees and committee chairs have concluded it is in the best interest of competitors and stakeholders to cancel the 2024 Vic-Maui International Yacht Race.

It is with heavy hearts and challenging emotions we have come to this conclusion.

The August 8^th, 2023 wildfires on Maui were devastating. In addition to the complete loss of shoreside supports – the losses to residences, family, and friends of Lahaina - our Lahaina Yacht Club family – are monumental. 

Our LYC family needs our help and requires time to heal.

We are committed to and will immediately start work on the 2026 Vic-Maui.

Our goal is to make 2026 a very special race, celebrating the rebuilding of Lahaina and celebrating the 60th anniversary of both the founding of LYC and of the first Vic-Maui in 1965.

Mahalo - Thank you - to our Vic-Maui community - competitors, volunteers, families, friends, and supporters around the world.  We recognize and appreciate all your efforts and support.  

We look forward to planning and sailing the 2026 Vic-Maui together.
