Boats are already coming off trailers in Clearwater, with crews deep into scrutineering and setup ahead of this weekend's 2026 XINSURANCE Clearwater Offshore Nationals.
Organisers have published a full schedule for the weekend, with racing set to unfold across the venue's usual courses off the Clearwater coastline.
The paddock is filling fast, and with it comes the familiar mix of nerves and anticipation that builds before any offshore meet.
For teams, race weekends like this follow a familiar pattern: unload, inspect, tune, then wait. Clearwater's shallow, protected waters make it a popular test of both speed and handling, and crews are using the lead-up days to sort out final mechanical details before raceday.
Results will be reported as the event gets underway.
