25 Years a Snipe Sailor

Most people in the sailing world consider the Snipe to be an "old man's boat". I'm here to prove those people wrong.

Does anyone know if the current Jr National Champion has ever won the National Championship before?? If not, congrats to Raul Rios for making history and on an incredible showing in Iowa!!

The lone international boat takes home the top prize as Raul Rios wins his 5th....yes you read that correctly...5th!! Junior National Championship.  In less than stellar wind conditions Raul and his crew Henry Dumke out-maneuvered the other boats for 3 first place finishes and the overall title.   http://snipeusa.com/2014/07/raul-rios-wins-2014-scira-usa-jr-nationals/

Is there any better feeling than having the perfect, clear air start?  Well maybe hitting that first wind shift!
