Snipe #139, 1931

Snipe #139, 1931

Snipe records from the time when #139 was built are a little sketchy, so we are not quite sure if she was built in the first year of our class or in the second, but anyway, there are not many 3 digit boats left. What is most remarkable is the fact that the boat survived 85 years in almost original condition. #139 is in need of lot of repair and restoration work, but she will be a beautiful and unique boat once back on the water.
