2008 Entry Process
Entering the 2008 Pacific Cup consists of several steps. These are mentioned in the Notice of Race and are spelled out in a bit more detail below. If you run into confusion at any time, please feel free to contact us with questions, comments, and even complaints.
You are also invited to the Forum, where you may raise any issue you wish. Finally, the race tips book may be of assistance to you in preparing your boat for a safe, competitive, and fun race to Hawaii.
Step 1: Log In
Login to the website. If you don't have an account on this site, register.
Step 2: Create or Update your Entry ("Part One")
The on-line entry form collects the key information we need about your boat. You may create a new entry online by following this link. If you have already created your entry, you'll want to edit it to include all the newly-requested data.
Step 3: Payment
$800 plus $5 per foot LOA not counting bowsprit. Not a bad deal. You can mail a check in or, better and faster, use our payment site at https://www.pcup.org. Those who have already paid the pre-entry fee are credited with $125 against the final number and have been sent a secret code that works with Google to account for that. If you prefer to mail a check or a large box of nickels, send it to PACIFIC CUP YACHT CLUB, c/o Bobbi Tosse, 817 Hawthorne Dr, Walnut Creek, CA 94596.
Step 4: Signed Skipper and Crew Waivers and Releases ("Part Two")
Waivers (designed to waive off the lawyers) must be signed and sent in. These forms are available now . When completed, they can be mailed to the address above or faxed to our worldwide headquarters at (925) 906-9282.
Step 5: Ratings Certificate
Per NOR and sent in by fax to (925) 906-9282 or mailed to PACIFIC CUP YACHT CLUB, c/o Bobbi Tosse, 817 Hawthorne Dr, Walnut Creek, CA 94596.
Step 6: Inspection
You'll get an inspector assigned. The plan for 2008 is for the inspector to act more as a coach or advisor than a hurdle. Sure, you are required to carry all the stated equipment. The inspector is there to help you avoid overlooking anything as well as consider more efficient and effective ways to set up for the race.
