Finndraft 2018/2019

We Finn sailors want to share with us the most fun we know, namely Finn sailing.

We believe that the more we become, the more fun it becomes and our idea is that Finn sailing is a positive drug where you have once tried it is difficult to end. Therefore, we now want to attract our already active sailors to lend their boats to young as old, pro or amateur, all in order to attract more sailors to our class.
Who can join?
All active members of the Swedish Finn Association can compete.

Tom Skjönberg has died

Tom Skjönberg, our Norwegian Finnjolle companion, died on Tuesday March 12, 2019 after a long illness.

It can be mentioned that Tom, who sailed Finnjolle for Norway at the 1976 Olympic Games, will be very much missed by Finn friends in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Our thoughts go to the family and loved ones.
