Newport Harbor California is proud to be rebuilding the finn fleet.  After years of decline there are now 6 boats back in the boat yard, with a 7^th to arrive in two weeks.  Our fleet currently has all levels of sailor from College all Americans down to guys who are in a dinghy for the first time.  We are very excited as the Finns have been extended an invitation to the Annual Newport Harbor Yacht Club, Opening day race on Sunday the 25^th of April.  There’s lots of buzz in the boat yard as the Finns have been going out each weekend and are starting to draw more and more attention.  As NHYC hosted the Olympic Trials for the Finn class in 2007, it’s our goal to have a Major regatta in the next couple of years.

Here’s a link for anyone who would like to join us.    https://www.nhyc.org/default.aspx?p=.NETEventView&ID=3829564&qfilter=&type=0&ssid=318213&chgs=
