The 2010 Georgia State Snipe Championship was held on March 13 & 14, 2010, at the Valdosta Yacht Club in Lake Park, GA. It was hosted by Fleet 580 and the members of the Valdosta Yacht Club. The 13 boats that comprised the field came from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Almost half of the field ended up in the water at least once on Saturday as the winds were even shiftier than usual on the small lakes. Things calmed down on Sunday and all sailors managed to stay dry for the third race. Race results are listed below. The awards ceremony can be viewed on YouTube courtesy of Nelson Ohl of South Carolina. The URL is ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn6aSuRcpm4.
