Dear SNIPE Friends,

As spring has come the new sailing season is going to be opened soon. That is why I woluld like to remind you that Poland organise two important sport events in June and July 2012.

The first is of course EURO 2012 and the second is the NORD CUP - SNIPE EAST EUROPEAN CUP 2012 in Gdansk, dated 30/06/2012-02/07/2012.

Dear Snipe-Friends,

I am hounored to inform You that for the first time East European Championships 2012 are going to be held in Gdansk. This is an old, merchant seaside city. Each summer old ships and yachts gather there during great event – Baltic Sail. In 2011 the Nord Cup regatta took place there and here are a few photos from there (photos K. Korneszczuk).

Dear Snipe Sailors,

In the upcoming season 2012 we can expect a range of interesting sailing events and championships in Europe.

European Championship 2012 definitely appears the most important event. This flagship event on the Old Continent will be held in an excellent location- Cirolo Nautico Dilettantistco, Cervia (RA), Italy- which is know to a lot of us due to the fact that this famous club organizes the Piada Trophy annually. The hosts will definitely do their best to organise regattas in an outstanding and perfect way. The scheduled date, 5-14 August, will without doubt attract numerous observers and supporters as August is the traditional holiday month and peak season in Italy. In addition, Cervia is a historic Adriatic resort with plenty of tourists and offering countless attractions. I really look forward to meeting all teams from Europe Snipe there.
