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.
