It's nearly here....Photo FINNish - 60 Years of Finn Sailing
The Finn class 60th Anniversary book - Photo FINNish - will be off to
the printers very shortly. This 224 page book is currently at final
proofing stages and we expect to be sending it to the printers by the
end of October for availability by sometime in November.
Here are a few sample pages:
It contains more than 1,000 colour and black/white photos and unique
written accounts from countless world champions and Olympic medalists.
Contributors include: Paul Elvstrøm, Jacques Rogge, Paul Henderson, John
Bertrand, Hubert Raudaschl, Hans Fogh, Valentin Mankin, Jochen Schumann,
Cam Lewis, Peter Harken, Peter Holmberg, Stig Westergaard, Luca Devoti,
Iain Percy, Ben Ainslie and many, many more.
Softback copies of the book will be available through many National Finn
Associations as well as online through the Finnshop on the IFA website
www.finnclass.org. As soon as it is at the printers online ordering
will open. The cost will be GBP 25 per copy plus postage of between GBP
3 and GBP 6 depending on the destination. Discounts are available for
bulk
orders to associations and retailers.
Copies will be available from National Associations and local
suppliers in the following countries, so far: GBR, NED, DEN, SWE, NZL,
ESP, ITA, POL and RUS. Full details and links will appear on the website
later.
If your National Association has not yet put in an advance order please
persuade them to do so. It makes our finances easier and can make some
money for your association.
In addition....
A limited number of hardback special
editions will be printed on demand using higher quality paper.
If you want to reserve a copy of the hardback book please register your
interest by sending an email to:
robertdeaves (at) yahoo.co.uk
stating the number of hardback copies you would like to purchase. It's not
a commitment, but gives us an idea of how many to produce. Orders received
after printing cannot be guaranteed. The cost of these
special edition books for advance
orders will be GBP 60. They will
not be discounted and only available direct from the IFA.
A full press release will be issued at a later date.
