Dear Finn sailors!
My name is Piotr Pajor (POL23). Masters Finn sailor from Poland.
Together with my colleagues from Poland we are older sailor group, our age is more the 40 years. According to our discussion from last month in Warsaw we would like to collect lot of older Finn sailors in Poland, to prepare meetings, regattas and other events for this age group. We have in our country lot of great profi Finn sailors, best coaches, but on our National regatta are starting from 10 till 15 boats. In our country there are more Finn sailors, which have older boats, and very willingly they will come to one of prearranged place for training or regatta.
So that, to have contact with them, we made website, under address: http://www.finn-masters.pl
Our ideas is to give for all non profi Finn sailors more information about history of Finn, results of Gold Cup, European, Olympians, and of course other Masters in Europe. We've planned to write articles about techniques and construction of boats. Newest and older, wooden boats too, of course. We?ve planned to prepare more information about world Finn's Organizations for example: International Finn Association and National Finn Associations and Masters Associations in Europe.
Apart from links to more important Finn pages, we planned to collect a lot of information from many other Finn pages, translate into polish language and making publication with photos on our polish web for masters, but not only for masters. Firstly: not all polish sailors know English, German or Dutch or Italian. Secondly: when all materials are on our servers in Poland, download is much easier and faster.
Please be so kind and agree to use information with photos from your www pages, and after translation, to publish this information in polish, on our http://www.finn-masters.pl
We know almost all people from Polish Finn Association. We cooperate with them and from time to time we meet on the water. For example next event in Poland is National Regatta near Warsaw, and we?d like to start together with our profies and other polish Masters. Our profi colleagues are very friendly. They have given us a lot of important information. We?ve received from PFA newest Finnfare. On our masters web pages we?ll publishing interview with many of our profi.
For your information, our budget for web service costs is coming from private alms of some polish Finn Masters. We don?t making any commercials actions.
But not budget or newest equipment is most important for us. We are sailing with passion, and satisfaction. Many colleagues have private wooden boat and aluminum spars. Together with good intention this is enough to feel that Finn is a greatest boat in the World.
Therefore we send this letter to all webmasters of Finn webs, to obtain agree to using website material and propagate Finn class among all masters in Poland.
For your information: Robert Daves from IFA did agree to using and translating material from the IFA website.
Awaiting for good information,
Best regards from polish masters.
