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.

Isn't the current record held by a cat that didn't do the official race?
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.

They don't appear to have started yet. Just goofing off.

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.
