INTRODUCTION

L

arger is not always better, but the 2016 Finn World Masters will go down in history for being the largest Finn event of all time (so far) and for a gladiatorial battle to be champion that was only decided in the last minutes of the final race.

An astonishing 355 Finns made it Circolo Vela Torbole at the northern end of Lake Garda for a week of fantastically competitive and close racing. Finns were dotted around all the lake at various clubs from Riva to Torbole.

Lanfranco Cirillo, the major sponsor of the event through his Fantastica Sailing Team, spoke through the rain at the opening ceremony about the spirit of the Finn class and Finn sailors. He said The Finn was an Olympic class for all, for the strongmen of the sailing world. “The Finn is not just a boat, it is a lifestyle.� Not many present disagreed with his sentiments.

Competitors in Torbole included many former Olympians and many former champions.

Increasing numbers of sailors are returning to the class to sail at the Masters for the great competition it offers. The standard is rising every year.

The scope of the racing was immense, with the fleet split into four starting groups on two course areas which covered almost the entire visible water at the northern end of Lake Garda.

Early on it was fairly clear who the front runners were going to be with defending champion Vladimir Krutskikh (RUS 73) and 2004 Olympic silver medalist Rafael Trujillo (ESP 100), sailing at his first World Masters, winning every race in their groups over the first three days.

Behind them, six time Masters champion Michael Maier (CZE 1) and Piet Eckert (SUI 86) were stringing together a series of top scores that left them in touch with the two leaders. The next group of Paul McKenzie (AUS 22), and Christoph Burger (SUI 7), Laurent Hay (FRA 75), Harles Liv (EST 7), Marc Allain des Beauvais (FRA 99) and Yuri Tokovoi (UKR 21) could hardly be separated.

With four starting groups, it was almost impossible to get any significant points advantage if you were always at the front of the fleet, as shown by the fact that come the medal race on the final day, any of the top 10 could mathematically still have won the event, with only 14 points separation.

In the end Trujillo won overall, as well as taking the Masters title. Maier took the Grand Masters while Allain des Beauvais won the Grand Grand Masters title by a sizeable margin. In the Legends, Howard Sellars won the title for a third time, while Pedro JimĂ­nez-Meifren won the new Super Legend category.

It was a lot of Finn fun for the biggest group of Finn sailors ever assembled in one place.

The fleet will not forget Torbole, and Torbole will never forget the Finn fleet. Over the course of the week, Finn sailors from almost every corner of the globe raced together in friendship and love of a great boat that has influenced almost all aspects of sailboat racing worldwide.

The sailors present were past the Olympics but enjoyed sailing an Olympic class that has brought them so much enjoyment over so many years. Special respect goes to the Legends and Super Legend, who just cannot seem to kick the habit.

Finn sailors worldwide aspire to race against the best, but they also aspire to race the Finn World Masters. Even now, more and more are promising to sail in the coming years. The pinnacle event for these sailors just moves to a different standpoint, but the challenge remains the same.

Keeping with tradition is as much a part of the Finn class as great competition. The tradition within the Finn class is that once a Finn sailor, always a Finn sailor. And to prove just that, the 2016 Finn World Masters attracted 33 Legends, those over 70 years old, who just can’t seem to give it up. They inspire the fleet and are proof, if any was needed, that Finn sailing remains a sport for life, as well as a lifestyle.

The breathtaking geography of the area that creates the world famous Garda winds dominated the racing, with the huge mountainsides towering above the small boats putting everything into perspective.

But it is the boat, the fantastic Finn, which is the true equaliser.

COMPETITION

U

ntil a quarter of a century ago, the Finn World Masters was known as the Veteran Gold Cup. The name was changed to reflect the growing importance of the event in the Finn class calendar and more accurately describe the level of competition, and this remains true to this day.

The Finn Masters has been often copied but never matched. It has survived through the camaraderie and support of large numbers of sailors worldwide who enjoy racing a great boat with friends made through a lifetime of involvement in the class.

Many of those who raced in the early Veteran worlds were present in Torbole, attracted by the spirit of the class and the intense competition. No one gives away an inch in a Finn race and that is as true today as it was half a century ago, at all levels. Every year the event attracts more sailors back to Finn sailing, and is growing in numbers and stature. For many sailors it has become the principal event in the calendar.

Lake Garda has been called by some sailors as a University of Sailing. Each day everyone learned something about the nuances of sailing on Europe’s most famous lake. The Finn is also a university for life with stories and memories told and relived each evening in the bars and restaurants of Torbole. It was a huge melting pot of experience and knowledge.

MONDAY 16 MAY

S

ome of the sailors were on their first visit to Garda, while for many it was a return to a hallowed sailing ground, but the interest of an event in Garda had always been high. Knowledge of Lake Garda’s winds proved an essential ingredient of the first day of racing as the best sailors rose to the top.

Defending champion Vladimir Krutskikh (RUS 73), 2004 Olympic silver medalist Rafa Trujillo (ESP 100) and Piet Eckert (SUI 86) all won both races in their groups to sit on top of the 355 boat fleet.

While Trujillo probably had the hardest fleet allocation of the day, Krutskikh was also dominant in his fleet, powering away for two comfortable wins. In addition, from the eight heats sailed, individual wins went to 1996 Olympian Paul McKenzie (AUS 22), and the 2000 and 2002 Finn Masters World Champion John Greenwood (GBR 5).

After the first day, Trujillo, Krutskikh and Eckert all sat on two points, with McKenzie one point back and Michael Maier (CZE 1) one point further back in fifth.

TUESDAY 17 MAY

T

he deciding factor on the second day was risk management, as local knowledge and Garda geometry meant that there were many changes in position through the four groups as the fleets battled against strong, cold and remarkably shifty winds all day.

Rafael Trujillo (ESP 100), Vladimir Krutskikh (RUS 73) and Michael Maier (CZE 1) all recorded a perfect score with two race wins each, while other race wins went to Harles Liiv (EST 7) and Yuri Tokovoi (UKR 21). Only Trujillo and Krutshikh remained on minimum points. The random fleet allocation decided that these two would not meet until the medal race, so any showdown had to wait until the final day.

Piet Eckert (SUI 86) was dominant upwind in his group but couldn’t hold off Krutskikh downwind. Luuk Kuijper (NED 60) led one race for a while before being reeled in by Maier downwind. Vasiliy Kravchenko (RUS 17) also led round a top mark before Trujillo recovered from a poor start and motored through to the lead.

Just three points separated the top four, but Trujillo was showing the greatest speed of all of them, and for many, remained the favourite.

WEDNESDAY 18 MAY

H

alf way through the event, there was nothing to separate the top two sailors after the third day of racing. Rafa Trujillo (ESP 100) and Vladimir Krukskihk (RUS 73) continued to amass race wins and had six first places apiece. Mike Maier (CZE 1) remained in third after a third and first.

Otherwise, Wednesday was an interesting day on Lake Garda with several new race winners. Dimitri Petrov (RUS 711) and Christoph Burger (SUI 7) won a race each, as did Marc Allain des Beauvais (FRA 99), who followed that with a second place to move up to fifth overall and had already all but clinched the Grand Grand Masters title.

Even though the sailors were tired after two tough days the competition was no less fierce. Lighter winds were forecast for the day but it still picked up to 20 knots, though by the end of the day it was down to 4-5 knots which proved challenging for the fleets still racing. Keeping consistent proved hard for the majority. With four huge fleets, early decisions and choosing the correct side was proving crucial.

THURSDAY 19 MAY

A

fter three fantastic days of racing, Thursday brought northerlies and bad weather.

All racing was abandoned ashore as rain and unstable winds from the wrong direction meant any fair racing was going to be difficult. The sailors occupied the bar and the restaurant all morning before racing was abandoned for the day at midday.

This meant that the positions after racing on Wednesday would decide who would go into Friday’s crucial medal race.

Outside of the top ten, many favourites did not quite make it. With four fleets each day, a scoreline that would normally be enough to make the medal race was not good enough.

Seven of those in the next ten boats had made the top 10 on previous occasions – but this year making the medal race was the toughest fight ever.

FRIDAY 20 MAY

H

aving raced all week on two course areas, on the final day the race committee was down to one course, so all four fleet races were started the same start line. It was a challenge, but it worked.

Whatever the outcome of the final races, everyone was a winner with a spectacular final day of sailing. Lake Garda was back to its mythical best, with the fleet launching into a mirror, but with the antipiation of the Ora approaching quickly and visibly from the south.

By race time, the Ora had kicked in good and strong, with beautiful clear blue skies creating some fabulous sailing conditions. Race wins went to Uli Breuer (GER 707), Christoph Christen (SUI 5), Aleksandr Kulyukin (RUS 161) and AndrĂŠ Budzien (GER 711), but more importantly the medals for the rest of the age categories were determined.

Many boats stayed out to watch the drama of the medal race which was started shortly afterwards in perfect Garda conditions.

MEDAL RACE

A

fter a week of incredibly competitive and close racing, it all came down to the medal race. Any of the 10 sailors could have won the title, but the race turned out to be as as dramatic as it was scenic. Sailed up against Garda’s steep walls, the lead changed three times before the finish.

After a great comback Rafa Trujillo (ESP 100) won his first Finn World Masters title to take the win from defending champion Vladimir Krutskikh (RUS 73) and six times winner Michael Maier (CZE 1).

Maier took an early lead and sailed away for what looked like a certain seventh title. But Trujillo wasn’t quite finished yet and worked his way towards the front after a mediocre first upwind.

He was right behind Maier and Krutskikh at the final top mark and Trujillo split gybes on the run to the finish while the leading two played the right side. The gamble paid and Trujillo found enough pressure on the left to sail through for seventh race win and the title. In the final stages, Krutskikh passed Maier for second.

It was a thrilling end to a thrilling week.

MEDAL CEREMONY

A

ll week Grand Masters, Grand Grand Masters and Legends traded places with the younger Masters. The Masters and Grand Masters medals were all contained within the top 10 with Rafa Trujillo (ESP 100) also winning the Masters title, Michael Maier (CZE 1) took the Grand Masters while Marc Allain des Beauvais (FRA 99) won the Grand Grand Masters title by a sizeable margin. In the coveted Legend category, Howard Sellars (GBR 77) won the title for a record equalling third time.

For the first time ever the class introduced a prize for Super Legends (over 80). Pedro Jimínez-Meifren (ESP 35) may have been the only one, but he got the biggest cheer of anyone at the prizegiving, simply because he epitomised everything that the other 354 sailors hoped to emulate when they reached that age – the ability to still sail the Finn.

Pedro also completed most races when sailors half his age were staying on shore.

Victory for Trujillo was a milestone for the class – the first time an Olympic medalist had won the title.
