2022 U.S. Finn Nationals Results
The Finn U.S. National Championship had one of the best showings in the last few years, with close to 40 boats on the starting line. The variety of conditions was almost perfect for the Finn Class. Winds ranging from 8 to 30 knots gave competitors a wide range of options to showcase their skills, physique, and stamina.
Leading the fleet from day one, Eric Lidecis (USA 505) and Craig Monk (NZL 237) fought till the last race. Despite more “bullets” under Craig’s belt, Eric showed more consistency and took the 2022 U.S. National Championship Trophy home. Steady behind with 24 points, Craig Monk in the second, and Anatolii Nosar (UKR 7), with 32 points in the third.
The top Youth sailor Peter Sangmeister (USA 86), took home the perpetual Bev Coutts Youth Trophy, donated to the USAFA by the Coutts family in 2021.
The 2023 Finn U.S. Nationals are scheduled at the North Cape Yacht Club in the Summer or Fall of 2023.
The next big events are the 2022 Masters North American Championship in Rochester, NY and the 2023 Finn Gold Cup in Miami, FL.

2022 Fleet Measurer’s Cup
Light air and a super foggy start to sailing on Sunday dominated the “fleet Measurer’s” cup in Newport Beach. Newbee’s were the leaders at the end of the day with Bob Martin the big winner and Chris Raab ending up Second. Bob’s college wing man on the UCLA sailing team Phil Ramming finished 3rd. Thanks to Joel Kew and his top-notch race committee making chicken salad out of Chicken !%()*. It was the 1st one design regatta for NHYC’s new Race committee boat the Albert Soiland. Participants were treated to Breakfast burritos and coffee in the morning and returned to sliders and cold beer all part of the deal. Kudos to Jess Gerry and his team at the club for a wonderful event. Special shout out to Brady Kennedy a new finn sailor at Age 15 out doing battle. Also to Keith Yonkers who had never even been in the ocean and manage to score a 4th in one of the races!
Hoping everyone is looking forward to the next NHYC regatta on July 23 an 24th!!!
