By John Rose

Snipe #9 (renumbered, built in 1941 or 1948 or 1949) is in the Denver area (Englewood CO), it was owned originally by Dr. Hub Isaacks of Fort Worth TX (the first SCIRA Commodore) and is one of four Snipes that Isaacks had that were #9. 

 

I have the last of the #9s, an all-fiberglass Snipe that Isaacks built using a wooden Snipe for the molds for the hull and deck – the FIRST fiberglass Snipe ever built, in 1952.
