Many entrants wanted the old maxis banned for this year, however owing to concerns over whether enough new boats would be ready (not to mention the large investments the Maxi owners had made in previous years), several Maxis were allowed to compete in the 1993 to 1994 race.
Många deltagare ville ha den gamla Maxis förbjudna under detta lopp, men på grund av oro över om tillräckligt många nya båtar skulle vara redo (att inte tala om de stora investeringar Maxi ägare hade gjort under tidigare år), flera Maxis tilläts konkurrera på 1993 till 1994s tävling.
