2021 North American Championship Alternate Location Search

Dear USAFA Members and friends of the class,

USAFA have contacted the Canadian Finn sailors and the CORK management regarding the NAs in August this year. The changing trajectory of the COVID-19 in Canada has forced renewed lockdowns in some provinces, including Ontario. For the last couple of weeks, the USAFA president and secretary have been working to find a viable substitution for the CORK in the same region and approximately the same dates. We have contacted the following Yacht Clubs: Rochester, Sodus Bay, Erie, Vermilion, Falmouth, Wild Harbor, Chicago, and Crescent. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find a club willing or able to host.

USAFA prefers to have the Championship in the Great Lakes region August 13-15 or August 20-22, as it was previously scheduled. Other viable dates and locations are:

• Gulf Coast, October or November
• West Coast, October

If you think that your Yacht Club can host 2021 Finn North American Championship, please contact the secretary at finnsecretary@gmail.com ASAP
