Dear IFA Council members
Hopefully you will have seen today that the new IFA website, designed by our own Deniss Karpak, has now gone live, but there are still several areas still to populate, so please bear with us through the transition. Deniss and the IFA Executive have done a huge amount of work to bring the new site to fruition, and it is already gaining good traction with younger Finn sailors who can now interact with awards on the rankings and contribute live comments during events. It would be great if you could publicise the new site, still to be found at finnclass.org, in your communications with your members.
The old site has been archived and is still available for any links you may have built into your national association websites. If these links to important documents and pages are now showing as broken, they can be easily restored by adding ‘archive.’ in front of the URL. The original site is still available at https://archive.finnclass.org/ Google search functions will take a few days to settle down and connect with the new domain.
As another form of direct communication with all our members, I would like to extend the reach of the FinnFocus newsletter, so we can speak with club sailors who may not regularly access the IFA website and other platforms. This is particularly important for the new marketing initiative we are developing to attract new Finn sailors to your fleets. The current list is very limited and out of date, so it would be great if you are able to share your members email addresses. I understand you may have GDPR concerns, but every email has an unsubscribe button for those that prefer not to receive newsletter, or alternatively your class Secretary may be willing to forward copies onto your members as an additional service from your association. Thank you to those national associations who have already shared their mailing lists.
A reminder that your national allocations for Gold Cup places next year will be based on your paid, full membership numbers as of 31st December, so please ensure those figures are sent in to me at the beginning of January.
Do not hesitate to get in touch if there is anything I can help you with.
Kind regards John Heyes
