Class championship Finn 2026

After 70 years (1955 - 2025) of the Swedish Finnjolle Championship, a Finnjolle Class Championship was held in Varberg 20-23 August.  
The reason is that in 2024 and 2025 our SM competitions did not reach the minimum level of 20 Swedish participants, which resulted in the Finnjolle class losing its SM status.
Anyway, the best Finnjolle sailor in Sweden in 2026 is Peter Overup / SWE 72, best Swede (5th in the regatta) in the Class Championship 2026.
Congratulations Peter - well sailed!
In second place we find Olof Lundqvist / SWE 32 and in third place we have Anders Nilsson / SWE 100.
