Beautifully restored Snipe (not #13…) build in 1940/41 by Becker of Sea Cliff, NY.

Not original #13 built in 1931, this one was built in 1940 or 1941 and the number was re-assigned by SCIRA. The original owner was Ruth Becker of Sea Cliff, NY (Long Island) who was 1940 US Women’s National Snipe Champion. The original name of this boat was “C.O.D.”

So I am on a call with the husband of Ruthie who was blown away that this popped up on their computer. Ruthie is 92 now but has very fond memories of the class and beating the pants off the boys in her boat. COD was Come On Dammit. Who is the current owner and if they are interested in hearing more history?
