This years edition of NB Snipe Cup 2018 was the 50 th edition of the regatta i Espergærde, Denmark. A great effort espcially from Jan & Jane Persson were made to secure that the competitors had some ” serious sailing & serious fun” and i think i speak on behalf of all the sailors that came to Espergærde, that the regatta fully lived up to our class motto.
Fantastic sailing and even more fantastic socials with free dinners & drinks.
