Welcome to Snipe Fleet 554’s home on the world wide web. Snipe Fleet 554 is a group of sailors based at the Jubilee Yacht Club in Beverly, Massachusetts. (link to JYC website http://www.jubileeyc.net). We are sailing the Snipes from our facility as well as from SailSalem on winter island, in Salem.(link to sailSalem http://sailsalem.org). Our fleet started in 2007, and our members have become active in the Snipe class. Each year we host a Snipe regatta that pulls in Snipe sailors from around the district. We sail in a beautiful body of water called Salem Sound. Our racing area is an easy ten minute sail from either JYC or SailSalem’s facility on Winter Island. We welcome all Snipe sailors to join our fleet. By storing your boat at SailSalem, you will have access to the best venue for the least amount of money.
We have a Tuesday evening racing series and each year host an invitational event that pulls sailors from around the region. This year's event is the 2011 Atlantis WeatherGear Snipe Women's Nationals.
We invite you to sail with us anytime. Please get in contact with Shan McAdoo our fleet captain at his email address r19slr at yahoo.com (replace the “at” with @).
This year we will be sailing every other Tuesday in Collins Cove starting on May 29th and going through July 24th. (May 29, June 12, June 26, July 10, July 24) wiht the first start at 7:00. If we decided to continue the series we may move the start to an earlier time.
Additionally we will be doing our "Snipe Cubes" event again this year. We will expand it with an initial series that runs on Sundays starting at 12:30 on September 16th and finishes on October 28th, followed by a second series that starts on November 4th and runs though December 16th.
On July 21-22, 2012 the Jubilee Yacht Club and Snipe Fleet 554 will be hosting the Sniope New England Championships. We have plenty of housing and our halibut dinner is a refreshing change from burgers and dogs.
Please join us for great sailing and a great social event.
