Snipe Tea Party – Final

Jacksonville, April 13-14, 2013. Results, regatta report by Hal Gilreath and photos

The 2013 Snipe Tea Party concluded after 8 challenging races with Hal Gilreath and Amy Benner, from the host Florida Yacht Club, delivering a consistent performance to edge out Mike Funsch and Alan Capellin. Saturday’s leaders, Addison Hackstaff and Nevin Avila, could not maintain their consistency in the fresher breezes on Sunday and fell to third. Nevertheless, the 2013 Junior Worlds qualifiers attested themselves well in a tight regatta.

The highlight of the weekend was the socializing Saturday night around the FYC Low Country Boil. What a great and relaxing evening in beautiful weather. It was hard for Andy Klein to trade in his New England weather for a warm Spring evening on the banks of the St Johns River. The travelling Snipe Fleet was again in attendance w/ Don Hackbarth leading the charge. We were able to add three participants to our fleet thanks to this great program. Merrill Varn created some great beach towel trophies which helped dry off everyone as the Spring showers commenced on Sunday afternoon.

Thanks go out to everyone at FYC and to those who made the trek to Jacksonville.
