At this time of great global concern, we stand in solidarity with our fellow Ukrainian Finn sailors, their families and friends. For all Ukrainian Finn sailors able to read this, please know you are in the thoughts of Finn sailors worldwide.

Sailing and friendly competition among athletes should be the only way nations measure themselves against each other, and it goes without saying that we hope peace will soon return. We aspire to peace, respect and friendship between all sailors.

IFA will do its best to help restart Finn sailing in Ukraine once the war is over. In the meantime, IFA is waiving all membership fees for Ukrainian sailors in the hope that they can soon be welcomed again at Finn class events.
