Are you sure you want to call it a Transpac record?

That race has already started, they bailed cause they didn't like the playing field.

There are two records for the distance. Within the race (5 days 9 hours) and outright (4 days 19 hours). If you can pick the time it's obviously faster.

They wanted the record within the race, estimating a time of 4+ days. But weather looks bad, so bad that they wont be fast enough to beat the old 5+ days record.

Now the have dropped out of the race while the weather looks still good enough to beat the outright record.

Right. But only one is a Transpac record..... everyone knows the Transpac is a race. They are doing a transpacific course from LA to Hawaii. It would be like hand picking a weather run from Sydney to Hobart and then saying I have the Sydney to Hobart record. When people hear that they would think you set the race record when you haven't.
