San Diego YC presents the Snipe Western Hemisphere & Orient Championship Regatta

SAN DIEGO – The Snipe Western Hemisphere and Orient (WH&O) Championship Regatta will sail into San Diego, Sept. 5 to 12 for five days of racing. Hosted by San Diego Yacht Club, the biennial race has been held in venues throughout North and South America and Asia since 1950. Racing will be held over five days — with a practice race day — two races per day, either in the South Bay area of San Diego Bay or on the ocean off Point Loma. The Organizing Authority will decide each day where the racing conditions will be best. Both locations will offer viewing opportunities onshore and by boat. After racing, onshore social events and activities will be plentiful. Practice racing on the ocean will be held on Sunday, Sept 7, followed by the Regatta Opening Ceremony and Reception on the lawn of San Diego YC.
