How about that!</p><p>We'll end with a call-in from friend of the show Bill Bridge with results from the NAMBA District 19 Heat Race Series in San Diego, which drew an impressive 137 boats across 11 classes.</p><p><br></p><p>For more San Diego Argonauts events, opportunities, and fun — check out our <a href="http://sandiegoargonauts.com">website</a>!</p>

3 American Skippers Take Us Behind the Scenes of the 2026 IOM Worlds in the UK
<p>From spot checks and long courses to lay day priorities — this week, we're talking all things 2026 IOM World Championships!</p><p><br></p><p>Today we're celebrating our 10th episode of San Diego Argonauts Radio with a very special first-hand reflection of the 2026 IOM Worlds — times three! We hear from three American sailors who competed across the pond, in Datchet, England, last month. Brian Shores, a remarkable newcomer who finished 9th with only three IOM regattas under his belt, describes the challenging reservoir venue near Windsor Castle with its unpredictable weather and long course. He also details a tense protest over a one-millimeter sail measurement and praises the competitive level of the event. We'll also connect with Peter Feldman, who improved on his 2024 fifth-place finish to claim fourth this time around. Peter details the 12-day commitment of traveling for the Worlds and the strategy of rig-change decisions (including a pivotal Race 16 gamble that paid off). Lastly, we'll hear from Gary Boell, a veteran of over a decade of international IOM events, who offers a comprehensive take on the Championship. Gary tells us about the proud moment of seeing four American boats in the final A-fleet race and the differences between this year's event and the lavishly produced 2024 Worlds in Gladstone, Australia.</p><p><br></p><p>We'll also kick things over to a friend of the podcast, AMYA Vice President Dan Shier, to update us on Region 6's recent regatta results and how one of our own San Diego Argonauts performed sailing with the group in the Pacific Northwest.</p><p><br></p><p>And as always, we'll recap our Region 8 race results and standings, and share our important updates for the club.</p><p><br></p><p>For more San Diego Argonauts events, opportunities, and fun — check out our <a href="https://www.sandiegoargonauts.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">website</a>!</p>

100+ Powerboats at the Pond in June 👀 How VC Bill Bridge Handles This "Organized Circus"
<p>This week's episode is a fun, info-packed episode featuring an interview with Bill Bridge, Vice Commodore of the Power Division (or as I call them, the "Thunderboats"). Bill shares the history of RC powerboat racing, the shift from nitro to gas engines, engine cooling systems for these boats that can move upwards of 65 MPH, and he gives us all the details on the upcoming District 19 Heat Race happening on June 12-14, where more than 100 boats are expected to descend upon San Diego, making what Bill calls an "Organized Circus" of an event. Plus, AMYA President Len Bowes drops in with a preview of the next issue of Model Yachting Magazine and updates on DF95 team racing. Then we'll wrap it up with a look at a busy June schedule, from Solings and IOMs to the Scale Tug-of-War. See you at the pond for all these great events and more!</p><p><br></p><p>For more San Diego Argonauts events, opportunities, and fun — check out our website!</p>
