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.
Over the past few years the Finn Class has collected an extensive set of morphological and physiological data on its sailors and perhaps the main talking point is always the weight of sailors. So it might be interesting to consider the weight ranges and distributions of Finn sailors' weights over the past few years to build a picture of the current trends.
