Many members of the Whittier Trust Team are heavily involved in the sailing community of southern California. Whittier Trust’s partnership with the Biannual Transpacific (Transpac) race, now in its third year as the Heritage Sponsor, is rooted in shared principles of meticulous planning, risk management, and perseverance—values that resonate deeply with both ocean racers and Whittier Trust’s approach to wealth management. The connection is also personal, dating back to 1923 when Max Whittier entered his family’s yawl in the race. This legacy continues with current CEO David Dahl and his sons, who participated in the 2021 race, demonstrating teamwork and resilience in challenging circumstances.
