Mahón is Incredible’: SCIRA Commodore Highlights Success of Snipe World Championship

Here is the translation of the Spanish interview posted on Instagram with Martin Bermudez de la Puente, SCIRA Commodore.

“The organization is being incredible. The truth is we already expected it.

Mahón has incredible experience in setting up these events and in organization.

You also have to realize that the class awards the world championships two years in advance, which gives clubs room to organize all the events and social activities, but Mahón is certainly exceeding our expectations.

Mahón is Mahón, the Balearics are the Balearics, but above all, Mahón is incredible. People are delighted. Keep in mind that among the 88 participants here, many of us travel and sail all over the world, but Mahón operates at a very high level—both in terms of what the island itself offers, as well as the club, and the organization’s effort in closing an entire street so people can see us and we can also be comfortable.

The Snipe is an incredible class that is very widely spread across the world, sailing in thirty-something countries. Spain is one of the leading powers—usually the second or third fleet worldwide in number of boats—and bringing it home is always a success. From here, I want to extend my thanks to Damián, to his hard work, and to his club for having brought it here.”
