Dear Sailors!

BalatonfĂźred Yacht Club - that is to celebrate its 142th anniversary in 2009 - has hosted several world championships so far. It is definitely a pleasure for us to organise the 2009 Finn Junior World Championship - Jorg Bruder Silver Cup - here at Lake Balaton.

An experienced and soulful team is looking forward to welcome young and enthusiastic Finn sailors and their helpers. The leaders of BalatonfĂźred Yacht Club along with the Hungarian Sailing Association find it extremely important to support the rising generation of sailors, by finding and helping young and talented sailors. In line with this spirit, we make serious efforts to create a background, which secures the professional preparation of young sportsmen. Our LONDON 2012 program is one of the projects currently run envisaging the Olympic participation of our young hopefuls. Thus, it is extremely pleasurable for us to host an Olympic class world championship. We at BYC grew up at Lake Balaton, begun to fall in love with sailing here and regard the development or racing lavel sailing as one of our major tasks.

We are looking forward to welcome the participants of the 2009 Finn Junior World Championship in BalatonfĂźred.

Dear Sailors, For the Hungarian Finn Association it is an honour to be the co-organiser of the 2009 Finn Junior World Championship - Jorg Bruder Silver Cup -. We are especially honoured to host the world championship in the year when this one-person dinghy - which had a milestone role in Olympic sailing - celebrates its 60th birthday! The finn has been racing at Olympic Games since 1952 as a boat of legends and first class sailors and became one of the world’s number 1 one-person sailing boats. In Hungary the Finn has been very popular, class is very popular; Hungarian National Championships are organised with over 40 entries in average. Although Hungary is not a seaside country, there is an active sailing life going on the Lake Balaton and other lakes in the country. Balaton is the largest lake of Central Europe and from early spring to late autumn, thousands of sailors hit the water. Balatonfßred, the place of the 2009 Finn Junior World Championship is the capital of Balaton’s sailing life becoming a pulsating and teeming city in the summer.

I do hope that besides attending an excellent world championship sailors will also have a lot of fun around here.

See you soon!

BalĂĄzs Hajdu President, Hungarian Finn Association President, International Finn Association
