We’re down to less than TWO WEEKS until the Coastal Bend Model Yacht Club’s 9th Annual Saltwater Challenge RC Laser Regatta (February 20–22, 2026), and the excitement is building!
This week’s prep project? Race buoys!
We pulled out the full fleet, pumped them up, gave them a good wash, replaced frayed lines, and refreshed the contact info on each one—making sure everything is ready for smooth, competitive racing from the very first start.
Check out the photo below of ‘boat-boy’ William proudly holding the finished product!
And here’s the best news…
The long-range forecast looks AMAZING.
Think T-shirts, shorts, sunshine, and fast racing under C and D rigs all weekend long.
Now that’s Saltwater Challenge weather!
Get ready for tight mark roundings, great sportsmanship, plenty of laughs, and outstanding competition with skippers from near and far. Whether you’re racing or cheering from shore, this is shaping up to be one of our best events yet.
We can’t wait to see everyone on the starting line—it’s almost time to sail!
