585.0. "Snipe class association?" by STAR::KENNEY () Tue Jun 30 1987 02:28

    Does anbody know the address and the phone number of the Snipe class
    association.  The Lowell sailing regatta received an old wooden
    one last year sail number 3645.  In a moment of weakness I agreed
    to restore it.  But I need hull plans and rigging plans seems that
    when they got it last year they stripped off all the hardware. 
    I have never seen a rigged snipe and don't have a good idea of how
    to redo the rigging.  They lost the rudder and the centerboard and
    I need plans to make new ones.

	Thanks for the pointer I will call Lowry Lamb. Will try and remember to report back the results of the restoration. So far only about 8 feet of rotted keel and a couple of frames need to be replaced. Speaking of rotted keel anybody have a suggestion about where I can get 8 to 12 feet of 2x6 oak. The oak for the frames was easy to find. Forrest

585.5	Up with old Snipes	ROMOIS::DEANGELI		`Wed Oct 12 1988 11:55`	16
	S.O.S. ( Save Old Snipes ) Forrest, I accessed this conference on 1007 so I'll not repeat useless details. Wish to know if and how the restore of the old Snipe went on (my one is "only" 1967 sail 16441). The older one my father sold 2 months ago was 13914 and is under restore at present. I'm looking for infos about Snipe Class story and I'm asking for any persons who want to tell me Snipe's stories as I mind to write an issue on the matter. All infos, stories, pictures (if possible) and so on will be rewarded ( in Heaven, I'm afraid!!!). Are you planning regatas with yours? Are you aware of other Old Snipers interested to ask and receive questions? Tks. Arrigo de Angeli
585.6	SNIPES alive and well in Peoria	POBOX::FEIGLE	Sales Consultant: attacking the 'hill'	`Tue Jun 25 1991 02:56`	14
	I've had a SNIPE for 10 years. But it's only been sailable since restored about 4 years ago. If anyone is interested about SNIPEs, line the person in (-.1), then "we should talk". Peoria was the home of the largest SNIPE fleet in the U.S. Now there are but 2 or 3 left. My sail number is 3 digits, and my hull number is 10568 (carved into the inside of the hull). While a wonder of a wooden boat, Peoria has replaced them with Capri 22s, all flying winged keels (Peoria Lake is wide, but avg depth is 4 feet). Peoria was just the home of the Capri Eastern Nationals- won by some Anapolis graduates hailing from North Carolina. jff
