Snipes Available in the Dallas Area—Since January 1, 2001 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 one Snipe below is all we have left and is priced right to encourage an experienced racer to join the fleet and begin racing with us. We currently have a total of 18 snipes in our fleet, 10 of which are sailed from the CSC. [Updated 9/26/07] 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 $350 initiation and $365 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 $160 per year and includes free sailing lessons.
