The 2003 Finn Clinic took place in Cadiz just before the Gold Cup, with participation from China, Japan and France. The program had intensive content, both on shore and on the water. The mornings were covered by classroom work, where Luca Devoti, Ben Ainslie and Sebastien Godefroid were the guest speakers.
Further to ISAF issuing new interpretations of the much discussed Rule 42, Bill O'Hara former Finn sailor and member of the ISAF rule 42 working party discusses how these are affecting the Finn class.
The idea of the clinic was to give the sailors the ‘big picture’ for success rather than just the boat speed or some drills. Main topics covered were: boat preparation, boat handling, boat tuning, sails, speed tests, strategy & tactics, fitness and rules.
