Snipe World Championship
The 2024 Snipe World Championship competitors spent a frustrating day on the waters of the Rio de la Plata, waiting for the wind to materialize. The first start was attempted and abandoned 12 seconds before the start with the wind below the Snipe Class limit of 5 knots.
Race committee chair Teodoro (Kiko) Kundig commented; “We set the course from 30 degrees and we had 6-7 knots at the scheduled time, but the wind dropped to 3 knots and we flew the AP flag. We tried another 2-3 times, but the wind was not steady. Tomorrow, our forecast is much better and we have moved the start 1 hour earlier (12:00pm) and will try for more races.”
Racing will commence again on Wednesday, October 30, with the current schedule for 2 races per day with 1 race on the final day, Saturday, November 2. The Race Committee has the option to add an additional race if behind in the schedule.
