The Organizaing Committee will likely be able to find housing competitors in the Junior Snipe Worlds from August 19 - August 29. We will attempt to find a local family to host the sailors (no family or coaches). If you are interested, please contact Lynn Sinks (gowinccs@cox.net) for more information. Please note any allergies or special considerations you may have.

San Diego International Airport (SAN) is located less than 3 miles from San Diego Yacht Club. Volunteers helping coordinate this regatta may be available to pick up sailors at the airport and transport you to hotels near the yacht club (see hotel listings above). Please contact Jared Wohlgemuth (jared@sdyc.org) in the SDYC Sailing Office for details.

Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is located 2.5 hours from San Diego by car. LA often has traffic issues on the freeways. Getting to the train station can be a challenge as it is 32 km from the LA airport. We recommend that you get the short flight from LA to San Diego (approx $120 US). We are making arrangements to pick teams up at the San Diego Airport to avoid the need for a rental car.

RENTAL CARS NOTE (you must be 25 years old and have a credit card to rent a car in the US.

For Competitors and your coaches, family and friends  that are required to obtain a visa to enter the USA please visit the US department of State’s web site: http://evisaforms.state.gov/

It will save you a lot of time if you read the directions on the webpage prior to down loading the form DS 156. You will need to supply a photo and that you are attending the Snipe World Championships www.snipeworlds2009.com.
