It's interesting, what goes around, comes around. The best Finns are British Finns, Victor Finns becoming Devoti Finns which eventually went to be made in the Czech Rep (or was that Poland?) and now we have 'son of Devoti/Victor' building them again in the UK. Interesting question as to how much a new state of the art Finn complete with rig would cost, probably frighteningly high. They are stunningly good looking boats that's for sure  Edited by Norbert |

It shouldn't even work with that flat metal plate thing in the middle..
No matter how much lipstick you apply.. Pork is still pork. Damn thing should have been slaughtered years ago.. Just how long do you think it will last once it's dumped from the Olympics and the D1 put in place.. Come on, none of you can be serious, pay that money for that antedeluvian junk pile when you could have a D1 and probably some change if you like that sort of thing? Edited by G.R.F. |

[QUOTE=turnturtle]Graeme- you can't say some Finns don't look good surely: That TackTick won't work properly at that angle! Hope the rest of the fit out has had a bit more common sense and RTFM! |

Get a Finn - I dealt with Rodney and got a competitive, at Club level, Devoti. Paid £5500, for a '97, with new sail,........ had a ball. Your weight and height is spot on. I sold my Finn for what I paid for it and now sail an RS100. Both great boats, but very different. When you've got the settings right the Finn is a dream to sail upwind and great in big winds downwind. |

Is that carpet on the floor of that Finn??
Seriously though, that is an awesome looking bit of kit!! Why would the tacktick not work at that angle??? |

Some special health and safety grip..
Designed for zimmer adhesion no doubt.. Why are we still even discussing it, none of you would buy one. If you gold plated one, delivered it on a swarovski crystal bedecked trailer, had a team of semi naked maidens prepared to carry it on their shoulders to launch me, I wouldn't look up from the exciting pile of bricks I'd been studying.. |

I'd have one like a shot if I wasn't rather small for it. Oh, and (unless buying an old one) rather more wealthy.
