Reigning WH&O champions Ernesto Rodriguez and crew Kathleen Tocke (USA) should be strong contenders, coming off two back-to-back major victories in the Snipe Europeans in Split, Croatia and the most recent North American Championship in Beverly, Massachusetts just last week. Rodriguez is no stranger to the Winthrop race course, having won the 2014 North Americans sailed at this venue at Cottage Park YC. Also in attendance is multi-Snipe world champion Augie Diaz (USA) with Barbie Brotons (ARG) as his crew.

Racing begins on Tuesday through Saturday with 9 races scheduled. The forecast looks good through the week with great racing planned.
