2009 US Finn Association Rankings

 

Here are the 2009 US Finn Association Rankings.  The Bylaws rank one category 1 and two category 2 events (category 3 events can be substituted for category 2 at 1/2 value).  At the 2009 US Finn Association AGM, the Bylaws were amended to extend the qualifying period until May 31, 2010.  Remaining category 1 events include all ISAF World Cup Regattas (including Miami OCR) and the Europeans.  Category 2 events include Finn Midwinter's, Mardi Gras Regatta, ABYC OCR and the Pacific Coast Championships.  Category 3 events include all other Finn regattas with 6+ competitors.

We understand that the US Finn Association will be allotted 14 slots for the 2010 Finn Gold Cup, plus the National Secretary, Zach Railey, a Rookie and all Juniors.

 

 

With most of the boats measured under the new minimum weight rule,

please email me your new certificate in a PDF format.

I will setup a database for each boat and attach the certificate.

 

 


What a weekend !!!
32 boats met the craziest weather
Lake Pontchartrain could muster.
On Friday it was light and fluky.
On Saturday, they say 12-15 with lumpy seas.
On Sunday, it blew in the high teen with lots of gusts and rain at the end.
