Snipe
The International Snipe
Top class sailing for every age group; the snipe can give you close club racing, an adventurous racing calendar often on the sea, as well as idyllic pottering with the kids on a late summer's evening. A snipe comfortably handles a blow at sea but sneaks along easily on a windless day.
Boats stay competitive for years and you can join a widely respected worldwide class for Serious Sailing, Serious Fun. One of the friendliest fleets for passing on one another's knowledge that you'll have come across.
20 year old boats start at about £3,000, and a 10 year old boat £4 5,000
