SCIRA Information

Yearly membership in SCIRA ($40) is required to race in sanctioned regattas (a hull sticker is required). Sanctioning assures that regattas will managed according to class standards (courses, sailing instructions etc.). Membership also includes the monthly news magazine The Snipe Bulletin, which provides regatta highlights, pictures, go-fast tips, and articles by the experts.
