THE SNIPE DIVAS
Paola Prada Lorenzi & Georgia Bruder have two important goals during regattas - have fun and beat the boat in front of them. They love women's sailing and organize Women's Snipe clinics & regattas in Brazil. Paola is the Snipe Class National Secretary of Brazil (like a president) and was the co-organizer of the 2019 Snipe World Championship in Ilhabela. Georgia was a measurer at the 2019 Worlds. They both have busy lives, but always find time for their Snipe family.
