Snipe
- The very first chartered Snipe Fleet (# 1) originated at White
Rock Lake in 1934 and now calls CSC home. The Snipe is a 15-1/2 ft.
sloop weighing 381 pounds with serious "go-fast" controls which have
attracted racing sailors world-wide. Very tight one-design class rules
and superior construction requirements mean these boats remain very
competitive for years. The Snipes race Saturdays, year around.
