Yes, it's been tried, and we didn't like it!!! Another photo from the Snipe Archives. Year unknown, but probably taken in the 1960's. (34k)
The restoration of Snipe number 1, Adelaide. The restoration is being performed in Texas. All that remains to be done is find spars, rigging and sails, and most importantly A HOME! If anyone knows of appropriate spars/rigging that could be donated to the project or of a museum that might be interested in displaying Adelaide please contact the SCIRA Office. Note the keel that is no longer part of the design. Also note the seats and the lack of crown on the deck. Otherwise, it's as much a Snipe as any made today! (20k, 22k, 31k, 29k)
