Snipe Fittings Guide

The Snipe dinghy is a two-person, one-design racing sailboat that has existed since 1931. It was designed by William F. Crosby and is known for its versatility and popularity in competitive sailing. The Snipe is 15 feet 6 inches (4.72 meters) long and has a beam (width) of 5 feet (1.52 meters). It has a simple rig with a mainsail and a jib but no spinnaker.

Here, we have listed a full fittings guide for a Snipe. Our Team Allen sailors have proven this list of fittings to be fast, reliable, and easy to use.
