Nick Voss - Snipe Sailor

Nick Voss is still in college but he's been moving up the ladder in the Snipe Class at a fast pace. He finished in 4th place at the Snipe Junior Worlds in San Diego. As one of only two Jr. skippers to qualify for the Snipe Sr. Worlds, Nick and his crew, John Frettwell, roared out to place 8th in the competition. They were the second highest placing US boat after Ernesto Rodriguez/Megan Place who finished 3rd overall. Nick's got quite a bit to say about why collegiate sailors should think about a Snipe when they graduate -- both the price of getting and campaigning a boat and the quality of the racing that's available make the Snipe a compelling choice. Of course Nick comes from a strong Snipe background and has stories about how as a really young Sniper he would sometimes sleep through races in the bottom of the boat.
