Join the Class
Why Should I Join the Class?
The Snipe Class International Racing Association was formed in
1932 and proudly claims the motto Serious Sailing, Serious
Fun®.
With over 750 members and 60 fleets throughout the United States,
as well as members in at least 28 countries around the world, you’re
sure to find some of that Serious Sailing, Serious Fun® whether
it be at local fleet races, at regional weekend regattas, or at
national and world championship events.
As a member of the Class, you are assured of competitive racing
in a strict one-design class. Measurement and racing rules are
in place to ensure that all Snipe Class sailboats have identical
sailing and racing capabilities, to the greatest degree possible,
and that all Snipe Class sailboat races are fair tests of sailing
skill at all levels. SCIRA USA also publishes a quarterly newsletter,
the US Snipe Sailor, as well as a periodic email newsletter, Snipe
Droppings, for the very latest activities and news. These resources
give you an opportunity to read about events and activities around
the U. S, while providing tips to improve your sailing skills,
and a few “go-fast” tips along the way.
Various levels of membership are available, depending on whether
or not you own a Snipe and whether you'd like to provide additional
support to the Class beyond the basic membership fee. See the "Membership
Requirements" and "Premium Membership" above for
more information.
When you join SCIRA USA, you automatically become a member of
SCIRA International. As a member, you will receive the Official
SCIRA International Rulebook every four years and a quarterly newsletter – the
International Snipe Bulletin™ to keep you up-to-date
on international Snipe sailing.
Welcome to the Snipe family! We look forward to meeting you on
the race course.
