Travellers Trophy Series 2024

Another great year of Finn sailing participation in the UK.  Seventy-nine sailors representing thirty-one sailing clubs took part in the 2024 BFA Travellers Trophy events. This year’s events were held at Hayling Island SC, West Riding SC, Stone SC, Solway SC, Northampton SC, Bosham and Warsash SC. The strength of the depth of the British Finn fleet is demonstrated by the fact that only John Greenwood won more than one event, winning the Masters at Stone SC and the Inland championships in Northampton SC. All the other events were won by different sailors.

Overall winner of the 2024 Travellers Trophy, John Mackie ( bove, receiving the Silver Finn Trophy from Martin Hughes) took the trophy for the first time, he also won the Grand Master’s trophy.  John sailed in an impressive six of the seven events, only missing out on the event at Bosham. Howard Sellars took the Legends title, Martin Hughes was second overall taking the Great Grand Masters trophy, who along with Roman Khodykin (Masters winner, photo below) took their respective titles for the second consecutive year.

For the 2025 season, newly elected BFA Chairman Richard Sharp is delighted to be able to announce the launch of the North Sails Silver Finn Trophy, for the North Sails Super Series of 9 open events across the UK, all now listed in the British Finn Calendar and downloadable on a year planner.

There were be discounted sails for overall prize winners and also for a lucky winner who attends all events (to be drawn at the end of the series). The winner will also receive the prestigious Silver Finn Trophy that dates from 1963 and is engraved with all the top names of British Finn sailing since that date.

There will also be a new UK ranking in place, based on this series, which will be updated after each event.

We really hope that as many of you as possible take the opportunity to get involved

See you in 2025!
