AMYA IOM R6 Championship 2026
Date: 25 September 2026 – 27 September 2026
Location: Renton, United States
Organizer: American Model Yachting Association (AMYA)
The Region 6 Championship of the American Model Yachting Association brings the Pacific Northwest's International One Metre fleet to Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in Renton, Washington, on the southern shore of Lake Washington, from 25 to 27 September 2026. The IOM is arguably the most competitive radio-sailing class in the world: one metre long, strictly limited in weight and rig, buildable at home yet raced to world championship level. Regional championships like this one are the backbone of the class in the United States. Expect multiple short windward-leeward races per day, run in heats if the entry is large, with skippers standing on the shoreline and reading the lake for shifts the way dinghy sailors do. Coulon Park hosts regular Seattle Model Yacht Club racing through the season, so local skippers know the water well. Visiting racers and curious walkers on the park boardwalk are equally welcome.
