Junior Snipe Florida State Championship

Junior Snipe

After a couple of practice days on this new boat "The Snipe" with crew Enrique Quinteros, Axel managed to finish first and became double State Champion (Optimist and Snipe).
This was a two day regatta (championship) that was raced with light to medium winds. The first day of racing the sailors were sent in because of a lightning storm that covered Biscayne Bay. When the storm cleared, the fleet went out to continue racing. They came just in time to get every boat out before another electric storm hit Coconut Grove. The Race Committee did a great job completing 3 races each day.

Donations

We have two ways to support Axel, Direct Donations or Tax Deductible Donations, through the Sailing Foundation of New York.

Tax Deductible donations are inexpensive if you or your company pays taxes; individuals or corporation can make these donations. The IRS allows you to deduct a significant amount that will be reflected on a smaller income tax. Each company or personal tax situation is different, so we recommend you to ask your CPA about what amount you can deduct from your income.

How to donate?

We canalize our Tax deductible donations through The Sailing Foundation of New York. The SFNY is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization through which our beneficiaries receive a tax deduction based on their donation. Once a donation is made, a packet with appropriate federal tax deduction forms will be mailed to you.
