The Palm Beach R/C Power Boaters club was formed in the late 1970’s at Okeeheelee Park in West Palm Beach, Florida. In the beginning, it was an informal gathering; just a place where people could go to run their remote control boats and meet friends. Since then, the club has grown into a non-profit organization and is sanctioned by the North American Model Boat Association (NAMBA). The club currently hosts one of the largest annual r/c races in the southeastern United States. Our races consist of various classes of gas or nitro-powered remote control boats. Some of these boats reach speeds of 70+ miles per hour! It is an exciting, family-oriented sport.
