Snipe World title returns to Argentina

Published on November 2nd, 2024

Twenty-nine years since Argentinians Santiago Lange and Mariano Parada won the Snipe Worlds (1995), Julio Alsogaray and Malena Sciarra (ARG) sailed a conservative but well-managed regatta to win the 2024 Snipe World Championship, held October 29-November 2 in their home waters of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Finishing two points off the lead in the 8-race series was Ernesto Rodriguez/ Taylor Scheuemann (USA) with Bernardo Peisoto/ Gustavo Baiano (BRA) in third, 23 points behind the leader.

Malena Sciarra is now the third female to add her name to the O’Leary crew champion trophy, and they are also winners of the Bibi Juetz Mixed team trophy. Ricky Fabini and Lore Fundora (URU), winners of the last race, win the Earl Elms Perpetual trophy. The Hub E. Isaacs trophy – emblematic of the winning team, was first awarded in 1934.
