The sailors are counting down the days to the start of the 2015 Finn Gold Cup in Takapuna, New Zealand. More and more Finns are covering the grass outside the Takapuna Boating Club in anticipation of a highly competitive week of racing. Around half the fleet of 90 or so Finns are currently taking part in the Pre-Worlds, the Auckland Championships, ahead of the first Gold Cup race next Tuesday. For Finn sailors, Takapuna is the place to be at the moment.
It has been 35 years since the Finn Gold Cup was last held in New Zealand waters. Back in 1980 it was also held at Takapuna Boating Club, the hosts for the 2015 edition. A lot has changed in 35 years but the enthusiasm and dedication of the Finn athletes has not, neither has the intense desire to win one of sailing’s most prestigious trophies.
