Excellent news that jumped a few days ago for one of the historic clubs, the Real Club Náutico de La Coruña: La Scira granted him the organization of the Young and Absolute World of the Snipe Class by August 2017. The news was running like a gunpowder dealer for being very good on the one hand and surprising on the other. It is true that this class is not that of a few years ago, but nevertheless it remains very attractive for its potential in countries like the US, Argentina, Brazil, Italy and Spain, so it will be reasonable for a hundred snipes to meet in the beautiful Galician city.
