Welcome to the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club and the International Finn Class NSW Championship 2024.
The event will be held on the waters of Pittwater from 21-22 September 2024.
The International Finn Class is the longest standing Olympic class of all time. The Finn was the chosen heavy weight Olympic dinghy spanning 70 years from Helsinki 1952 to Tokyo 2020!
The Finn is the most physically and mentally demanding singlehander in the world. It breeds exceptional, all-round sailors by testing all aspects of racing. The cult of the International Finn Monotype may seem strange to some people, but to us devotees, there is nothing else remotely like it. The Finn offers the most purely athletic form of yacht racing and is, therefore, the most fundamentally competitive. The Finn offers the rewarding opportunity of doing a difficult thing well. There will always be those who aspire to be the master of a Finn.
