Volunteers Programme

You Can Be at the Heart of the Action As a Volunteer

The Falmouth Finn Festival 2012 is relying heavily on volunteer support from now to the end of May 2012.

Many people have already volunteered but we are seeking further expressions of interest from people with skills, enthusiasm and interest in the Festival, especially the sailing events.
While there are some specific volunteer roles that require sailing knowledge, there are many that do not. There are positions for everyone.
The volunteer programme is broken into five key areas:

1. Event Team

Responsible for Infrastructure, Logistics, Transport, Media, Competitor Communications, Assistance with entry into the UK, Meet and Greet, Accommodation, Catering

2. Boat Park

All boats will be kept in the boat park where competitors will be based prior to and after the daily racing. Volunteers are needed to prepare the boat park prior to the event, to coordinate the parking of boats on arrival, and to assist with launch and recovery on race days.

3. On-Water Services

All the power boats used for the events (race management / sponsors / media) come within this area, as well as equipment stores and control.

4. Competition

Whilst the race management team is largely being filled by specialists approved by the RYA, ISAF and IFA, volunteers are needed to provide and/or man RIBs patrolling the race area under the direction of the Event Safety Officer, and to man the Race Office.

5. Volunteer Servicing

This team will manage volunteer rostering, clothing, and refreshments, and is responsible for overseeing all volunteer aspects of the event. The team will manage the day-to-day operations for the numerous volunteers.

Ben Ainslie secures sixth Finn Gold Cup as Falmouth Finn Festival closes

18 May 2012 Ben Ainslie secures sixth Finn Gold Cup as Falmouth Finn Festival closes

It has been a week of extremes at the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Finn Gold Cup in Falmouth, UK and the final day was no different. Though a medal race was attempted, it was soon abandoned and an hour later racing was completely abandoned for the day as the wind disappeared. This left Ben Ainslie (GBR) as Finn World Champion for the sixth time. Ed Wright (GBR) took the silver while Jonas Hogh-Christesen (DEN) took the bronze.

Ainslie scores hat-trick in mammoth conditions on day five at J.P. Morgan Asset Management Finn Gold
18 May 2012 Ainslie scores hat-trick in mammoth conditions on day five at J.P. Morgan Asset Management Finn Gold Awesome is an overused word, but today it doesn't really come close to adequately describe the performance of Ben Ainslie (GBR) on day five of the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Finn Gold Cup in Falmouth. In the toughest, roughest conditions that much of the fleet have sailed in for many years he took three race wins and is now within a whisker of his sixth Finn World title. Ed Wright (GBR) remains in second while Jonas Høgh-Christensen (DEN) moves up to third
No racing on Day Four in Falmouth
16 May 2012 No racing on Day Four in Falmouth There was no racing on day four of the J.P. Asset Management Finn Gold Cup in Falmouth, UK, after the wind spent most of the day spinning circles around the race committee. Three races will now be sailed on Thursday, to conclude the opening series, before Friday's medal race and final race.
