There will be a record number (for many years) of Snipes participating in the Stone Sailing Club open meeting on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th July which will be run in conjunction with the Shearwater Class open. Already there are 27 Snipes entered which includes 5 women and 4 junior helms.

All boats are UK based with one lady helm coming from Finland and two Belgum sailors joining us to crew. Thank you to all owners who are unable to race but have kindly lent their boats to others who wanted to race but don't own a Snipe... yet!

If you are in the area, please come along - Stone SC has one of the best bars with great views of the River Blackwater estuary. Three races each day are scheduled with the first race at 1230 on Saturday and 0955 Sunday. There will be the usual "Serious Fun" on the Saturday night!
