Got some interesting mail with a demo DVD regarding a film project and the boat's upcoming 80 year anniversary. I would like to forward this nicely done promotional packet along to any local Snipe owner who might be interested....
If anyone does own a snipe, does it still float? John Browning had made an outdoor bar with a half-a-snipe... was great idea...
snipe fleet is alive and kicking in Southern California and it is a fantastic boat. i work with Jeff Lenhart (past Snipe World Champion, Pan Am games etc) and I enjoy hearing him talk about the boat all the time. Last week there was a 24 hour regatta (cool idea for Clear Lake Area in V-15's or something similar) in Mission Bay sailed in snipes and that was a blast.
Not local anymore but I would love to have the promotional packet around the loft here.
email thehuntergroup@gmail.com and they will put you in touch. Whisker poles on a bungee, close racing and minimal expense. Plus a great national org.
Keith, you should get the packet by the weekend.
A boat converted to a bar? I thought most proper sailboats were already a floating bar....
Thanks again Chris, I owe you a drink next time I am in Texas, hopefully for the Harvest Moon.
