Day 1 in the books

The fleet towed to Potters Cove for a light, but building, southerly for the preliminary day of the 2026 Snipe North American Championship. The 56 boat Snipe fleet stretched from Newport shore to Jamestown shore as they sailed their .85nm course.

Consistency was the name of the game over two races. Impending rain storms, a shifting breeze, and current forced teams to keep their heads out of the boat.
