Re: Finn Wooden Mast Rigging
Apologies folks but I hadn’t looked at the thread in a few weeks. My wooden Finn mast and boom has a wooden wedge to fit into the mortise somewhere. It came with the mainsail so once we are out of lockdown I will investigate further. There were no floorboards in the boat when I got it but there are ...

Thanks Peter. There seems to be no lever kicker on my boat. There is a pretty lightweight looking stainless steel fitting under the boom that may have been used previously. If you have any photos showing your setup for the kicker and the general rigging around the gooseneck of a wooden mast, I would...

I have brought the boat back to my club and have it stored indoors. It has a dark green grp hull and grey decks with a wooden thwart and rubbing str...

Re: Vintage Finn
So I am the new custodian of IR10, thanks to Derek for offering it up and not scrapping it. I'm looking forward to getting her restored and out on the water again. I'd love to know some of the history if anyone knows the background to this old Finn. Is there a register/archive of old boats available...
