The Marco Island Model Yacht Club, begun by George Domenech in 2002, is registered with the American Model Yachting Association as Club #137. Our "claim to fame" is hosting the longest running RC Laser regatta in the country. The first Marco Island RC Laser MidWinter Championship was held in 2004. In 2024, on the 20th anniversary of the first regatta, MIMYC was proud to host the 2024 RC Laser National Championship Regatta.

One of the prized awards at every Marco Island regatta is the SAIL LIKE 53 award, presented in memory of past AMYA president, and long-time Midwinter RD Dave Brawner, for outstanding sportsmanship. This year's well-deserving winner was Glenn Chalder from Simsbury, CT. Glenn has raced in the Marco Island Mid-Winters since 2020. Glenn's positive attitude and helpful nature were much appreciated at the 2024 RC Laser National Championship Regatta. He is the epitome of the Corinthian spirit of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct both on, and off, the race course. Congratulations Glenn!
