SCIRA Information

Offical SCIRA Correspondence to the Class Membership

The Snipe Class International Racing Association (SCIRA) office is run by the paid, full time Executive Director, Jerelyn Biehl. Yearly membership in SCIRA ($40 for US Members) is required to race in sanctioned regattas (a hull sticker is required). Sanctioning assures that regattas will be managed according to class standards (courses, sailing instructions etc.). Membership also includes the monthly news magazine The Snipe Bulletin, which provides regatta highlights, pictures, go-fast tips, and articles by the experts.

SCIRA is a member of both US Sailing and the ISAF.

The SCIRA Officers (US district Governors, National Secretaries, and Board Members) are listed below. For more information US residents should contact their District Governors, while those outside the US should contact their relevant National Secretary. In addition the SCIRA office can provide more detailed information on the boat, used boats, and contacts for individual fleets, both US and international.
