Based on the composition of the fleet, the entries will be divided into several divisions. Division assignments will be announced after the deadline for entries.
In addition to overall and division competition, yachts may be entered in special classes based on common characteristics. These classes may span divisions. A class may be formed by PCYC or by a group petitioning PCYC for such a class. If a special class is formed, PCYC may include or exclude any yacht from it.
Double-handed and fully-crewed monohull yachts will compete for all yacht awards listed in paragraph 12 . Multihulls will compete for all yacht awards other than the Pacific Cup.
