Roger Newton Memorial RC Boat Show set for H&RM in late February

The 2026 Roger Newton Memorial RC Boat Show is set for the Hydroplane & Raceboat Museum on Saturday, Feb. 28 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Please bring a model or two (or all the models you have) to display on the floor of the museum alongside the amazing restorations that museum volunteers have done over the years. Newton Marine & Roostertail Talk will again be presenting Best of Scale awards.

“This event is always such an awesome way to showcase the craftsmanship that RC boat modelers and racers always bring to the water,” said event organizer David Newton. “The craftsmanship behind scale appearance of these models of all scales is something that my dad always loved and appreciated and was proud of. I always appreciate those who attend in order to remember Roger.”

To be prepared for the event, it’s advised that you bring your own table(s) and chair(s) as they will not be provided by the Museum. You’ll be able to get into the Museum around 9 a.m. to set up and prepare for the show to open to the public at 10 a.m.

Lunch will be available for sale.

As always, please also consider making a donation to the museum, as they provide the space for this event to us at no cost.
