2021 NAMBA Nats Race Program

celebrate an annual event in which all the generated income is given to different organization to help the homeless children. We have a large group of members that normally attend several NAMBA events in the continental USA, mostly to the District 3. The Covid-19 made us to reorganize our activities after a year of no events. The district started racing again in March of this year with a strict Covid protocol that has been followed by all the clubs. We currently are celebrating a monthly race for gas and electric with an average participation of 100 boats. The number of new purchased boats and new hobby members will guarantee an excellent 2022 for the district Time has come after 16 years of been the district director to pass the torch to a younger generation. I want to thank all district 13 members for their help in promoting the hobby and increasing the membership. I want to thank specially my assistant director Luis Ayala , Dr. Giovanni Gonzalez , Burton Edney and Al Waters for all the help thru the years. 2022 will be another great year for District 13. District 13 was created in 2006 with a small group of members at the time. In 2007 we started a closer relationship with members of the US Virgin Islands and increased our membership to the double of 2006, at the present time we have 6 times our initial membership. The district clubs in Puerto Rico have races from February to November and they run their individual championships. The district created the Caribbean Championship in 2014. The championship consists of three races celebrated in Puerto Rico, St. Croix US Virgin Islands, and St. John US Virgin Islands every year to select the district champions. The championship has been a total success and has been celebrated for the last 6 years. District 13 has grown thru the years and we have a big relationship with the municipal government participating in several events for kids and young school students.
