Fleet 495 in San Diego hopes you will join us for the Herb Shear Invitational Regatta, May 19-20 at Mission Bay Yacht Club! This annual favorite features two days of challenging, yet inviting flat water conditions inside the bay. We've had over 20 boats the last few years and are pushing hard to top 30 for 2012. Combine that Serious Sailing with some Diego-style Serious Fun, and you've got a regatta you don't want to miss! Details coming soon at www.mbyc.org

Las Vegas Regatta
Wednesday, 08 February 2012 17:08It's January and that means Las Vegas time on Mission Bay in San Diego. Fleet 495 is resurrecting a fund raiser that combines two days of racing with a casino night -- that's Serious Sailing and Serious Fun. The money raised this year supports the Mission Bay Jr. Sailing Program and the fleet.
That's in keeping with the fleet's direction to make sure that young sailors are exposed to the Snipe and to the camaraderie that is the bedrock of the Class. There were plenty of juniors sailing and three of the top five boats had juniors on board. That's a good ratio given how tough this fleet is.
Las Vegas Regatta
Monday, 23 January 2012 23:03For decades, the Snipe class has represented top-quality international dinghy competition and a great atmosphere off the water, hence the class motto, "Serious Sailing, Serious Fun!"
These are also critical elements of scholastic sailing, so it's no surprise that local high school, collegiate, and post-collegiate athletes are turning out to try the Snipe. This weekend, Snipe Fleet 495 (San Diego) held their "Las Vegas" Regatta, attracting 22 competitive teams including five Bishop's Knights, four Cathedral Catholic Dons, a few top Sabot sailors, two high school coaches, two junior directors, sailmakers, and college all-Americans!
