The Finn

The following (mainly external) resources cover a wide variety of training and tuning information.

This page is a work in progress.  It contains links to resources invaluable to aspiring and current Finn sailors and is part of a larger project to create an interactive and growing online Finn Clinic based on the successful Clinics that have been organised by the IFA for many years.

 

If you know of sites or links giving Finn information, please send to the webmaster.

 

1. Soup to Nuts: The following link is to "Finn Sailing; Soup to Nuts", a prototype internet-based Finn skills development tool put together by Gus Miller and Jan Walker in the USA.  The next iteration will follow as funds become available.
