The Snowbird is an American sailboat that was initially designed by Willis Reid as a one design racer and first built in 1921. The boat was re-designed by Edson B. Schock in the 1940s and it became a popular junior class.
The boat was used as a one design competition class for sailing at the 1932 Summer Olympics.
