The Snipe

SCIRA (Snipe Class International Racing Association) is celebrating its 85th year of competition with fleets in 27 countries and over 31,000 boats built.

The Snipe is a two person dinghy that brings the well-balanced class motto “serious sailing, serious fun” to life at every regatta. With a range of ages and abilities, the racing is always competitive and the parties are never dull. It’s a class we can grow old in, with age-appropriate challenges and opportunities for every generation.

There are many things that make this boat so popular. The Snipe is a classical beauty that sails well and safely even in heavy wind conditions. The purchase price is attractive and the boat keeps it's value and racing performance for years. You are free to compare it's multiuser behaviour and tactical challenges to any other class. Most importantly, you can stay in the same class and enjoy the same friends for the whole lifetime.

The Snipe Class International Racing Association (SCIRA) is a widely popular and well run organisation all over the world. One of the things that makes the class so strong is the local fleet activities. Also of interest and importance are international activities. Races are arranged in Europe, Americas and in Orient. The Snipe Class offers the best racing calendar you can imagine - for champions and beginners, for juniors (under 21), women, masters (over 45) and mixed teams consisting of World Championships, Europeans, South Europeans and Nordics, not to forget several international Snipe Regattas.

Close to Austria there are strong fleets on the Adriatic Sea (in Italy in Trieste, Venedig and Rimini and in Croatia in Pula) and on Lake Garda and Lake Caldonazzo. You can sail and have fun almost every weekend.
