Most Finn sailors have one focus this year, the Hempel World Sailing Championships in Aarhus, Denmark in August. Nothing else really matters apart from those first eight, almost tangible, places on the starting line in Tokyo in 2020.
The April 2018 issue of FINNFARE has been published.
To illustrate the strength of the class at the moment, it’s interesting to look at the number of events each year. So instead of the normal short list of major events, here is what we collected – more than 200 Finn regattas. It’s not all of them, but it is quite impressive.
The Finn class is delighted to have eight nations – two from Africa, two from Asia, three from the Americas, and one from Europe – participating in the Emerging Nations Program (ENP) in connection with the Hempel Sailing World Championships Aarhus 2018, the first qualifying event for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
The cost of running an Olympic class campaign is coming under increasing scrutiny, so it might be useful to analyse the price of equipment required to run a basic Finn campaign, and consider that within the wider scope of a total campaign budget.
