Organisée par la Société des Régates à l’occasion des fêtes pascales, une compétition de «Snipes» s’est déroulée dans les eaux monégasques du 12 au 14 avril 1952, sous le haut patronage du prince Rainier III et sous le regard attentif des cinéastes amateurs de Monaco qui n’ont rien raté des diverses épreuves qui opposaient les concurrents de six nations : France, Italie, Espagne, Portugal, Suisse et Monaco.
