History

In 1949, the decision was made to hold the championship, that took place every year except during World War II (1943–1944), every two years, and to hold Hemisphere Championships (Europe and Africa championship and Western Hemisphere & Orient Championship) and World Championships in alternate years. [2]

in 1973, a Junior World Championship independent event was created. In 1986 the World Masters Championship and in 1994 the Women's World Championship were added. [3]

Open Worlds

The Open Snipe World Championship, also known as senior worlds, or just World Championship, where the Commodore Hub E. Isaacks Trophy, O’Leary Trophy and Earl Elms Perpetual Trophy are awarded, is limited to the best national boats under an established quota based on the number of properly registered boat owners submitted to the SCIRA office by each National Secretary on the dues paid members for that year.

The following formula is used ("Registered Boats" must include: owner's name, address, fleet number and hull number to which the member has paid dues upon):

Average Number of Registered Boats for the past 2 yearsEntries
