2021 NAMBA Nats Race Program

“This event is the National Competition known as the Nationals. It is our summer BBQ, get together or even "Woodstock" . It is a gathering or happening centered on boat racing, but much much more is involved.” Author unknown, from article in 1986 Program describing the NAMBA Nationals. “Model boating is the common bond for so many of us. Life long friendships have been created, with camaraderie and rivalry between competitors and teams continuing year after year. Long after the water has calmed down, the last boat retrieved and the smell of Nitro in the morning is gone, we will be left with memories of the wins, defeats, crashes and deck to deck racing. Most important of all is to remember the friends you shared this experience with, the new friends you have made, and look forward to the next Nationals where we do it all again.“ - Tony Rhodes / Ralph Henry from their Welcome letter in 2004 2021 NAMBA Nationals Page 8 “The competition and awards from model boating are fun, but what has driven this life- long passion are the people I have met along the way and the deep friendships that have been forged.” - Jerry Wright from his District Director’s Welcome Letter in 2018.
