Dear friends,

After 10 years in the Finn Executive Committee, of which almost 8 as your President, I have decided to retire from the Class Executive.

My decision is based on additional professional activities, which have in the last few years prevented me from attending and/or competing in most of the events below the level I felt a President should.

Resigning now means people will start thinking about succession and will give all enough time to have a (set of) good candidate(s) for August. I believe this is what's best for our wonderful class.

Until the AGM I ask Ali Enver Adakan, as current VP Sailing to act as interim President and in Kalmar a new President will need to be elected.

I still hope I will be able to meet you on the water as much as possible.


Best regards,
Philippe Rogge
