Fleet Information

Snipe Fleet

WVSC is the home of Snipe fleet #93. Fleet #93 has been a competitive racing fleet since the club was formed in 1937. Past fleet member Ted Wells won several national regattas and was a two time world champion. Fleet members are still currently active in the Snipe racing circuit and compete in local, regional, and national level regattas.

The Snipe is a 15-1/2 foot, 2 person, one design racing dinghy with a rich history. Designed in 1931, it has evolved into a modern, tactical racing dinghy with fleets around the world. Although the Snipe Class has some of the best competition in the world, the class has not lost sight of the importance of social events and, in fact, many regattas are as well known for their parties as they are for their racing. The essence of the class is summed up by its motto:

Serious Sailing, Serious Fun.®
