Snipe Worlds Mahón: The Pre-Regatta Gallery by Matias Capizzano

Matias Capizzano has been covering the Snipe Class at the Snipe Worlds since 2015, and even earlier at other regattas, particularly across South America. Anyone who tuned into the recent episodes of “Snipe Worlds – Plotting the Course” has surely appreciated his work. Over the years, this collaboration has grown close, and Matias has become a true friend to all the sailors.

What can be said about Matias? Calling him a sailing photographer feels like an understatement. Beyond pioneering an innovative technique for photographing small boats—especially Optimists and Snipes—that vividly captures both the action and the sailors’ expressions, he has an extraordinary eye for the bigger picture. He seamlessly catches the unscripted moments in the boat park and measurement areas, while also highlighting the natural beauty, landscapes, and daily life of each host city.
