Venue Guide

The best sailing conditions in Annapolis have always been in the spring and fall with July and August often light and hot but since the Snipe Nationals is in the “shoulder season” we have to expect almost anything.

Regatta Gear Store

As we did in 2021, we will have a Stoutgear Store for you to directly purchase regatta gear. As part of your entry fee, we will provide you a unique coupon code with a $20 value. That value will purchase 2 cotton regatta t-shirts or you can apply the value towards purchasing other items of higher cost. It’s like Burger King, have it your way! After you register, you will be emailed the coupon code.
