Thank you for expressing an interest in the Snipe Class and District 7!:
The Snipe is considered one of the world’s premier two person tactical dinghies for all ages. If you are looking for exciting competitive sailing that provides plenty of boat for the buck and a social atmosphere that is second to none then snipe sailing could be your answer.
The Snipe is a two sail, two person dinghy. It can be sailed by a broad range of team combinations. We have couples of all ages from collegiate sailors to Masters. We have parents sailing with their children, and husbands and wives. This is truly a family and friends boat. There are also plenty of world level competitors sailing the snipe around the country.
The current district 7 fleets are in Portland, Oregon, Ukiah and San Francisco, California, and Seattle, Washington.
Please check the calendar of events on this site or our local fleet web sites for upcoming regattas.
If you would like more information about the Snipe, contact your local fleet captain or the district governor.
Good Sailing,
Dick
District 7 Governor
