Cool, calm, and collected – Justin Callahan & Trevor Davis clinch the 2026 Snipe North American Championship after a commanding and challenging day of racing.

Ernesto Rodriguez & Taylor Scheuermann sailed into second place and claimed the Masters division title. Shawn Harvey & Cam Giblin put together a fantastic day of sailing and took home third place. Gus Macaulay & Cody Lamoreux claim the Juniors division title.

With a shifty southwesterly in Potters Cove, teams had to keep their heads out of the boats, make smart strategic calls, and stay ahead of the next shift. All while keeping an eye on their competition. There was no room for mistakes at the top of the fleet. The top two teams traded places all day before it all came down to the final race.

Strategic sailing from Callahan meant engaging with the defending champions before the start, loose covering up the beats, and focused boat work. In an incredibly competitive Snipe fleet, Callahan continues to shine.

Congratulations to all 56 teams on a successful North American Championship!
