2021 AGM Reports
Vice President Development
Notwithstanding the pandemic situation, there are two ways to consider the present Finn development:
1) One is linked with the Olympic Coming Up of the class: we contributed all year long to the appeasement policy with ICO & World Sailing. Offshore Mixed is now rejected by the IOC and opens a new field of possibilities and we hope that we will be listened to...
2) The other consists in preparing the class to what it could be in case we are no more Olympic: the co-existence of the 2021 European Championship foreseen before cancellation at Hyères joint with the 2021 Semaine Olympique Française is a good example to what could be achieved.
The next weeks will be crucial to determine the future of the class.
Indeed I don't have a lot to say...

Vice President Masters
We have just taken the decision to cancel the event in Medemblik for 2021 due to COVID.
The restrictions and timings for hosting the event make it impracticable and not viable for a masters Championship.
At present we are in discussions with another venue to host the Championship in the second week of October 2021.
Subject to a 100-boat pre-entry, prior to our AMM in May will determine whether we go ahead with the change to the new venue.
Naturally, we need to amend our rules at the AMM. Hopefully, the sailors will see the need to have this amended rule change in place to accommodate the unpredictable world that we now live in.
Our 2021 AMM will be held on line on Wednesday 2nd May.
