Macho is working hard to find Finns for those of you who want them. Because of his hard work there have been (iirc) six boats posted on the finnclass yahoo group. You have to be a member to access this, and membership is pretty limited to those with a serious interest in Finns.

If you would like to join here's how to do it: 1. go to yahoo groups and search for finnclass. Once there fill out the form and send it.

2. go to nafinnclass.org. On the 'contacts' page you'll find Charles Heimler's e-mail address. Send Charles an e-mail and let him know that you want to join the yahoo group and why. It normally takes a couple of days so don't worry if you have to wait.

The boats listed are everything from older Newports to a $10,000 Devoti in fantastic condition (and in Florida, which is a positive). I would normally just post them here but it's just too time consuming with so many boats.

I hope that all of you who have expressed an interest will join us. This buying up of the used boats in the fleet will result in new boats being shipped here from Europe and everyone is going to benefit. And of course, the larger the Gulf Coast fleet, the more fun we'll all have and the chance to once again host major events will come.
