First time in the history of the race that it has been cancelled.
The 2020 Vic-Maui International Yacht Race is cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
After completing a review related to the COVID-19 pandemic, with input from the skippers of all of the entered boats, Vic-Maui’s trustees and committee chairs have decided it is in the best interests of competitors and other stakeholders to cancel the 2020 Vic-Maui International Yacht Race which was scheduled to start in July 2020.
The decision to cancel the 2020 Vic-Maui has been taken now rather than later in order to allow participants to focus on being safe and staying healthy, and to encourage compliance with public health advice during the boat preparation and team development phase prior to the race itself. Without this early cancellation, public health and being fully prepared for offshore sailing could both be at risk.
We look forward to planning and sailing a future Vic-Maui together when conditions have improved.
