Snipes Available in the Dallas Area—During the past ten years Snipe Fleet 001 has orchestrated the sale of ten Snipes and has sponsored fourteen new members in the Corinthian Sailing Club ("CSC") at White Rock Lake in Dallas. The three Snipes below show the range of availability and are priced right to encourage both beginners and experienced racers to join the fleet and begin racing with us. We currently have a total of 15 snipes in our fleet, 11 of which are sailed from the CSC. [Updated 3/27/10] You can also consult the United States Snipe Class page: Buying a Snipe.
Sailing Snipes at White Rock Lake in Dallas--A snipe owner may trailer his boat to White Rock lake and simply launch each Sunday from a public pier and join our races. Or the owner may join the White Rock Boat Club at the North end of the lake or the Corinthian Sailing Club further South (where all the other snipes are located). At either club, the boats are
dry-sailed from davits where they are lifted above the water. A boat purchaser who wants to purchase a davit and keep his boat at CSC must join CSC as a regular member
(approximately $400 initiation and $400 annual dues.) The initiation, dues and davit purchase prices at the White Rock Boat club are less expensive. If you are considering sailing a Snipe or other class but don't have a boat at one of the clubs you can join CSC as an associate member, which costs
approximately $200 per year and includes free sailing lessons. For more information email:
Location Limitations-- Please note that each of the boats for sale or lease below will only be sold or leased to someone who lives in the Dallas area and who commits to racing the boat on White Rock Lake on a regular basis.
