The New Zealand men's 470  sailors have won the European championships in Portugal.
The pair went into the top-10 medal race in second, eight points behind a French duo, needing to finish at least four boats ahead of them.
They managed to do so in the double points showdown, with Snow-Hansen and Willcox fourth and the French ninth.
Snow-Hansen says it's a great confidence boost ahead of the Tokyo Olympics.
