On 22nd & 23rd June, Royal Lymington Yacht Club (RLymYC) will host the 2024 UK National Folkboat Championship in association with Folkboat Association (FBA).

Folkboats from clubs across the Solent and further afield, will come together to race, competing to become National Champion in the variety of sailing conditions and tides which the Solent will offer, all under the control of the highly experienced Race Teams from RLymYC.

The Folkboat sailors come from a wide variety of sailing disciplines before they entered Folkboat racing and the fleet is growing both in the Solent and other areas across the UK. The Folkboat spirit will be alive and well as participants come together not only for the races but also for the socials, celebrating their shared passion for Folkboat Racing.

Entries open via Royal Lymington Yacht Club.
