Hey, Skip! I've been meaning to ask you if you've ever sailed one of these Finn's. And if so, what you thought of it?

Tillerman said...

No. Never have. I've never seen many around in the locations I have sailed.

I see the main sponsor of at least one boat is J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

Maybe some of the Finns have been mysteriously lost and no one can figure out where they went.

Tillerman said...

I believe that JPMAM were sponsors of the Finn Gold Cup, and that they are also sponsors of Ben Ainslie, winner of this event. Corporations are people, my friend.

And sometimes people can be forgetful about where they've left things.

One day it's the car keys. One day it's two billion dollars.

Maybe they forgot where they put the Finns. Has anyone seen Ben Ainslee lately?

Tillerman said...

Yes. Ben Ainslie was seen by 3,500 spectators today, when he carried the Olympic torch on the first leg of its relay in the UK from Land's End to London.

And here are 10 more reasons why I probably won't be sailing Finns thanks to mrpelicano on Sailing Anarchy.
