The Finn International Development Support (FIDeS) is an official programme of the International Finn Association.

The aim of FIDeS is to promote and facilitate Finn sailing throughout the world, by helping sailors and National Finn Authorities in those countries where the Finn dinghy and the sport of sailing are not well established.

The FIDeS programme will offer support to eligible sailors through training, information, coaching, logistics and equipment loan, leasing and discounts. It will involve Finn equipment manufacturers, current and former top Finn sailors, coaches, NFAs and ISAF.

The whole Finn Family is invited to co-operate in the programme.
