 _column_text][vc_column_text css=""]The Commodores Club of the Newport Bea
 ch Chamber of Commerce with assistance from the Balboa Yacht Club will pre
 sent the Flight of Newport on Sunday\, July 12\, 2026\, in Newport Harbor.
 \n\nOriginally called the Flight of the Snowbirds named for the wooden boa
 ts participating in the race\, the event was renamed Flight of the Lasers 
 in 1975 after organizers decided to replace the aging\, wooden crafts with
  more modern\, fiberglass boats\, known as Lasers. The Lasers were seen in
  small boat races at the time including in the Olympics. In 2020 the race 
 was again renamed\, the Flight of Newport\, to be more inclusive\, opening
  entries to ILCA (formerly known as Lasers)\, Harbor 20 and Tera RS boats.
 \n\nThe Flight of Newport will begin at 1 p.m. near the Balboa Pavilion an
 d it will take about 90 minutes to complete the course\, which circumvents
  the entire bay. The first-place winner in the ILCA fleet will receive the
  Albert Soiland Trophy\, named after the first Commodore of the Newport Ha
 rbor Yacht Club along with a new sail provided by Vela LA. Other placing r
 acers first to cross the finish line in these categories will also receive
  prizes: ILCA fleet\, the First Girl\, Youngest Boy\, Youngest Girl\, Olde
 st Person and First Married Couple.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][
