In 2015 Fintan (Fin) Hartnett brought his young family to Canada, after being based in Cape Town, South Africa, for several years. They chose to settle in Kingston, along the shores of Lake Ontario, where Fin owns and operates a small maritime training center at the Kingston Yacht Club. The devoted father of three boys, Fin is a professional sailor who sails small boats on big oceans and, as a result, has a deep respect for the natural world.
Few understand the inherent dangers of climate uncertainty like ocean-going mariners. Sailors depend on reliable meteorological data to stay alive. While weather is an occupational hazard for most sailors, Fin’s experiences and research have left him with no doubt that mankind is responsible for the current climate crisis, and mankind needs to make things right before it is too late for his kids to enjoy all the beauty this planet has to offer.
Accredited as an MCA Master of Yachts (200gt) and as a Royal Yachting Association Yachtmaster Instructor, Fin also holds a BA from the University of Toronto and an MA from University College Dublin. Fin is also an avid rugby enthusiast and was President of the Calgary Rugby Union when they won the Super League title for the first time in 2003.
Sailing in and around Africa and other equally challenged parts of the globe, Fin is keenly aware of the effects of drought, income inequality and war. He has seen first-hand the toll housing affordability and availability can have on a country. He doesn’t take the privilege of being a Canadian lightly and feels Canadians have a duty to lead the charge in making the world a better a place. For Fin it starts at home, navigating Canada to a better understanding of the climate crisis and choosing to sail Green.
