The 2028 Finn Gold Cup is set to light up Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy from September 8 to 15, 2028. This prestigious event promises to attract sailing superstars and showcases the academy's rich history in the sport.
The British National Championship will kick off the excitement the weekend prior, serving as a key warm-up for competitors. Weymouth last hosted the Gold Cup in 2000, featuring legendary sailors like Mateusz Kusznierewicz and Ian Percy. The venue is renowned for its facilities and was the site of the thrilling 2012 Olympic regatta, where Ben Ainslie battled Jonas Høgh-Christensen.
Looking ahead, the British Finn fleet is preparing for a qualification series in 2027, offering an automatic spot to the winner of the British Nationals and discretionary places for under-29 sailors. The Gold Cup will see a fleet filled with current and former World Champions and Olympians, making it a must-watch event.
AIS (Advanced Innergy Solutions) emerges as the title sponsor, partnering with the event alongside local sponsors. For those eager to compete among the elite, opportunities abound in the iconic waters that once hosted Olympic glory. Contact British Finn Chairman Richard Sharp for details.
