Feb 6, 2005 - Class History History of the International Finn Association 1971-86 For the IFA, 1971 was a year of political unrest. The main issue was the question of which masts should be used at the 1972 Olympic regatta in Kiel.

Feb 6, 2005 - Class History History of the International Finn Association 1950-58 It is not easy to handle the different aspects of the history of the Finn. There are many different points of view upon the subject. It is possible to sort out some of them and to cover them in special chapters, like the technical development or the history of the most important regattas. However the administrative aspect turned out to be most central and interrelated with all other matters. It reflects in detail the motivation of the leading people in the Finn Class. Therefore this chapter might bear the subtitle of 'General History of the Finn'.
