The
cover of the July 2014 issue of FINNFARE features Andrew Murdoch (NZL)
on his way to securing 10th place in the European Championship in La
Rochelle. The event was won by Giles Scott (GBR) who is the 'opening
shot' for the magazine, published on Monday 14 July. This
issue includes full reports, results and extensive photos from all
events so far this season. The European Championship again showed the
strength and depth of the International Finn fleet with 101 entries from
30 countries on the starting line, including many new faces.
A
few weeks later Michael Maier (CZE), won his sixth Finn World Masters
in Sopot, Poland. This event attracted 235 entries from 25 countries,
another example of the continuous growth of the Master fleet.
This
issue also covers the ISAF Sailing World Cup event in Palma and Hyeres,
as well as the three EUROSAF Champions Sailing Cup events in Medemblik,
Weymouth and Kiel.
The
sailing world lost two of its greatest sailors in the first half of
2014. Hans Fogh and Valentin Mankin both had an inestimable impact of
the development of sailing and both had success in the Finn. This issue
includes tributes to these sailors from their friends in the class.
There
is also a feature on Finn sailing at Rietvlei on the Highveld in South
Africa. There are more than 30 Finns sailing there at Pretoria Sailing
Club and the feature describes how Finn sailing is developing in this
long-standing Finn sailing nation.
Other
news includes updates from Denmark, Great Britain, Italy, Netherlands,
Sweden, Switzerland and USA, as well as a full update and reports from
the Finn Class AGM in La Rochelle.
