List of Snipe fleets

The following is a partial list of Snipe fleets. Fleets are the basic organizational structure of the Snipe class,[1] a 2-person, one design racing dinghy governed by the Snipe Class International Racing Association (SCIRA), and recognized by the World Sailing as an International Class. The Association consists of sailors organized into Fleets.[2]

The first fleet outside the United States was chartered to the fleet of the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club, with fleet number 8. In July 1936, the Class became the world’s largest racing class,[3] and as of May 2019, 904 chartered fleet numbers have been issued.[4] Part of those fleets have gone inactive over the years.
