Finn Class News - May 2026

The 2026 Finn South American Championship will be held from 18 to 22 November 2026 at the Iate Clube do Rio de Janeiro, one of Brazil's most traditional yacht clubs and a historic venue for major international sailing events.

This year's championship will have a particularly special setting, as it will take place during the same period as the SSL Gold Cup Finals, with several sailing events and activities taking place in Rio de Janeiro. This will create a unique opportunity to promote the Finn Class in South America and to bring together sailors from Brazil, Argentina, Chile and other countries in a highly visible international sailing environment.

Further information, including the Notice of Race, entry details and the event programme, will be published shortly.

The Brazilian Finn Class warmly invites all Finn sailors to reserve the dates and join them in Rio de Janeiro for what is hoped will be a memorable celebration of Finn sailing in the region.

The 2026 Finn European Masters will be held at Centro de Tecnificación Deportiva on the Mar Menor, Murcia, Spain, from 16-23 October.

The Notice of Race is taking much longer than expected to be finalised by the club so some provisional advance information has been published, dependent on the final version. See HERE.

More information will appear on the event page HERE.

Entry has opened and the official noticeboard is HERE.

The WFT Grand Slam is a short series of iconic and attractive European events during the year to encourage participation, showcase the class, highlight the class rock stars and have some Finn fun.
