Pearson were the "bread and butter" builder of glass fibre club level Finns from 1962 until they stopped building Finns, with their last being about 19 73. Never really considered by the Olympic aspirants they never the less were a reliable and popular club racing dinghy. Most had built in side tanks with a few variations in deck and tank arrangements over the years. During the late 60s and early 70s a fleet of Pearson Finns were used by Dunhill for the popular Finn Finder events, aiming to recognise emerging talent from club racers.
Reinhards Butler Finn ist etwas schneller:
Butler built a few Finns in 1967 and 1968 but never in large numbers. They were similar to the Pearson Finns but probably slightly more competitive, again at club level.
