Several' would-be yachts- men have seen the excellent per- formance of the Sea Scout snipe and have the yearning to get on the water next year and join the fleet ini the weekly races. The easy hiandling and the comparative safeness of the snipe is rapidly making it the inost popular one-design boat afloat, and amateur boat builders throughout'the country are busybuilding their own yachts.
