For Immediate Release:
Jubilee Yacht Club fires off the start gun for the 2010 Snipe New England Championship at noon today off the shores of Salem and Beverly Mass. On the start line this year will be defending 2009 champion, Jim Bowers, World Champion Tomas Hornos, the class builder, Andy Pimentel and Olympic Sailor, Carol Cronin. Carol will be sailing with her crew, Kim Courans as a warm up event for the Womens Championships. Alongside all these well known sailing champions are snipe sailors also under the age of ten, like Max Heatherington and the over 60 sailors like JYC Member, Peter Dragonas. According to the Fleets Captain Shan MacAdoo, “This is what makes the Snipe class so unique, we have kids sailing with their grandparents, brothers sailing with their sisters, youngsters to retirees – it’s an inexpensive boat than anyone can get into and just sail.”
If you would like to watch the action, folks can easily spectate from Winter Island this weekend, or on any Monday evening when Fleet 554 has weekly races throughout the season.
Results will be sent at the end of day today.
