Nick Voss - Snipe Sailor

Nick Voss has climbed up the ranks of Snipe sailing quickly over the past few years. At Annapolis he won a place on next year's Snipe Worlds in Denmark. He finished in 8th place at the Snipe Worlds in San Diego last year. When Nick talks about what it takes to make a Snipe go fast, people listen to what he's saying. One of the hallmarks of Snipe sailing in the US is that the leaders in the fleet spend a huge amount of time and energy working with all the competitors to make them go faster. 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. His parents won the Wells division at this year's Nationals.
