42. The Best Finn Sailors of all Time

In FINNLOG, Peter Mohilla worked out the best Finn sailors of all time by looking at the Olympics, the Finn Gold Cup and the Finn Europeans and scoring 6 points for Gold, 3 for Silver and 1 for Bronze. To conclude this book marking 50 Years of the Finn, that earlier table is here updated and it might well be changed to read 'The Best Finn Sailors over the first 50 Years of the Finn'. In the 14 years since Peter Mohilla's list, three sailors have moved into the top ten of the list. Note also that Lasse Hjortnas has moved up to joint first and that there are only two current sailors inside the top 20 who have a chance to move up the list in the future. Combining the sailors points to find the best country, Denmark comes out on top with 119 points, then Sweden with 110 and Germany with 85.
