Finn

The Finn dinghy, a single-handed, cat-rigged sailboat, was designed in 1949 by Swedish canoe designer Rickard Sarby for the Helsinki Olympics. Known for its physical demands, especially in high winds, the Finn has been a part of Olympic sailing from 1952 to 2020. The hull design has remained relatively consistent, but the rigging has evolved, transitioning from wood to aluminum masts in the 1970s, and eventually to carbon fiber masts for more sail shape control. The sails have also progressed to materials like Technora, polyester, and Kevlar. The Finn’s enduring popularity and competitive nature make it a key class in sailing.
