Why sail a Finn

Designed by Rickard Sarby for the 1952 Olympics, the Finn is a technical, physical boat that favors boat handling and tactics over straight-line speed.

Olympic heritage

Raced at every Olympics from Helsinki 1952 to Tokyo 2020. Seventy years of the toughest singlehanded racing there is.

Built for big sailors

Average crew weight is over 200 lbs. Finally, a dinghy that wants you heavy. Above 10 knots, pump all you like.

Old boats still win

Top regattas are regularly won by 10-year-old boats. Your wallet will thank you.

Classic with Carbon

Pre-1985 hull + second-hand carbon rig = top-10 speed on a budget. Classics welcome at every NA event.
