About the Finn

Designed in 1949 by Rickard Sarby, the Finn has been the pinnacle of single-handed sailing for over 75 years. Used at every Olympic Games from 1952 to 2020, it represents the purest form of competitive sailing.

The Finn demands a unique combination of tactical brilliance, physical strength, and boat-handling skill. At 4.5 meters with an unstayed mast and flexible rig, it rewards the complete sailor.

Now entering a new era as FINN V2, the class continues to thrive with a vibrant international circuit, growing Masters fleet, and a renewed vision for the future of the sport.
