Day Three of the Snipe European Championship 2025 in Vilamoura brought a test of patience and skill for the fleet. With the breeze slow to settle, sailors spent time on the water surrounded by the stunning seascape of Vilamoura before conditions improved enough to start racing.

When the wind filled in, the fleet managed to complete one good race, adding another highlight to the championship.

The atmosphere remained competitive and spirited, once again showing the resilience and camaraderie of the Snipe Class.

The day once again came to a close with a relaxed Happy Hour and BBQ, bringing sailors and guests together to share good moments ashore after the racing.

Looking ahead, the race committee is planning for three races tomorrow, with the first warning signal set for 13:00.

After racing, sailors and guests will gather ashore for a lively Happy Hour with DJ and a Special Codfish Dinner, celebrating another day together on and off the water.
