I
From the Masters President
t’s early March and we already have 160 entries pre-registered for the 2015 Finn World Masters in Kavala (May). Kavala has been a difficult one to get to. The Dutch are sending three lorries down and the Brits are opting for a boat container or a long drive. However it will be a gem and well worth it. The response from the Organising Authority is overwhelming and I am pleased that we will be the pioneers for what has the potential to be a great regatta venue for the Finn Class.
I was pleased to see that a number of the sailors from South America are making the trek over and we look forward to seeing them and all the other guys from around the world in what has the makings to be a fabulous World Championship. We are already booked out for the next two years: 2016 Lake Garda and 2017 Barbados. I am due to travel to Barbados in April to meet with the Organising Authority and compile a report on the regatta venue and to try out some of the local rum; to make sure it is up to standard for the Masters, obviously. The Masters structure is ever evolving, we now have the regatta website hosted on the masters site as a microsite. This makes it easier for the Masters to find the relevant information and signing on information, without having to source the wider web. It will also enable us to catalogue the regattas for future reference. I look forward to seeing you all again in May. Happy sailing. Andy Denison President Finn World Masters
