Do you think you have what it takes to become the next Finn superstar??
The US Finn Association is looking for the next upcoming sailor to fill the shoes of Olympic Finn class sailors. Applications for the 2010 Finn Developmental Program are now being accepted. This program is designed to introduce sailors under the age of 23 into the Finn class on a national and international level. The developmental program will help one sailor to purchase a Finn at a nominal cost, gain access to training camps and facilities designed for Finn sailing, and reduced transportation and entrance fees to top level international regattas. This experience is a chance of a lifetime to develop and gain insight into the olympic class Finn boat. Past 2009 recipient, Caleb Paine, has now purchased his own Finn and competed in the Finn Gold Cup in which he showed his great improvement with the training program. The selected sailor will receive coaching from 2008 silver medalist Zach Railey and US Sailing High Performance coach Kenneth Andreasen. Interested in doing some Finn sailing?
