11 NAMBA PRESIDEN N N Dear National Contestants, I would like to personally welcome you to the 2022 NAMBA Nationals hosted by the Central Coast Model Boaters in beautiful Seaside California. Our host committee has provided this year’s contestants with a premiere host hotel right on the beach with a six-minute walk to the race site. We will also be treated toWelcome Party surrounded by classic vehicles and a live band, our Paddleboat BBQ and of course our Award’s Celebration to finish the week of racing. This year’s event marks NAMBA’s 50th Anniversary National Championships. It rep- resents 50 years of RC model boating, building lifelong friendships and memories that we will never forget. Hosting the 2017 and 2021 NAMBA Nationals I know how labor intensive and difficult it can be for a host and committee. I truly appreciate the Central Coast Model Boaters and District 9 for their time and commitment to putting on this very special event. Hosting a NAMBA Nationals takes more than time, it takes sponsors. NAMBA would like to thank all our sponsors and those who have donated their products. This event would not be possible without their help. If you happen to see one of our sponsors during the event, please thank them. If you need to purchase products either during or after the event, please keep them in mind. It’s the best way to thank them for the memories they have helped us make at this years NAMBA Nationals. A NAMBA Nationals is bigger than the boats on the water and the miles we travel to get here, it’s about the people and the time spent with them. For me, it’s the one time a year I get to see friends from all over the country and sometimes the world. Enjoy this very special celebration and remember, NAMBA is about you, its mem- bers. I wish you all good luck, good racing, good times, and great memories. Richard Romero NAMBA President
