Organisation
The International Finn Association (IFA) is the world governing body for the Finn class. It administers the rules, organises world and European championships and co-ordinates the activities of National Finn Associations worldwide.
There are no individual members of the IFA. Finn owners become members of their National Finn Association which in turn pays a fee per member to the IFA. The NFA member then gets an IFA sticker and receives FINNFARE through its NFA.
There are around 50 National Finn Associations worldwide ranging from the very large to just a handful of friends enjoying sailing the Finn.
The Council
The decision-making body of the IFA is the Council. It consists of one representative of each National Finn Association and the members of the Executive Committee (unless they also represent an NFA).
Executive Committee 2026-27
