My parents put me in sailing lessons when I was 7 (Wet Pants Sailing, Sayville, NY).My instructor was a Finn sailor. As a treat at the end of the summer, he took me out on his Finn. I wanted one ever since. It took me 40 years, but I finally got one ( 11 years ago). No fleets around here. I have been sailing bigger boats now, but once or twice a summer, I just have to get wet and take the finn out on a good windy day. Both boats are fun to sail, and though I have only had the 35mk3 in the water less than 2 months, both are technical to sail well and get the most out of them.
