The National Championships return this year as an eagerly anticipated standalone event, bringing together the best Sailors from across the country in the quest for the Crown of National Nordic Folkboat Champion. The stakes are high, with every tack and gybe crucial as participants navigate challenging racecourses set by the experienced team at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club
As the quality of the racing and boats across the Solent and beyond has increased rapidly over the past few years with many innovations being added to a classic design, alongside some of the most experienced racers with backgrounds from many fleets and we look forward to some dramatic racing.
We have organised socials to match for our racers to discuss and enjoy the camaraderie of the Folkboat fleet. Based at the Royal Lymington clubhouse, we will start with welcome drinks whilst our RO will brief the fleet about the intricacies of the coming weekend. On the Saturday, we invite all boats back to the club straight after racing for BBQ and music on the balcony, as we reflect on the first day’s racing.
On Sunday, after the second day of adrenaline packed racing, we will return to crown the Champion with a glass of Fizz…..

“Great night last night in particular the junior supper was a huge hit. Lots of great feedback on the lasagna, a good-sized portion, tasted delicious and well presented. Please can you pass on to the chef and his team!”
“On 3rd August we held our Red Fox Annual General Meeting and Annual Dinner at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. The whole event was a great success. Within days of appointing a new chef you produced an excellent menu for the dinner and arranged facilities for our AGM. You and your staff were always very efficient and friendly, and it all made for a very enjoyable evening. We showed our appreciation by doubling the normal gratuity.”
“We had an excellent Sunday lunch. Please warmly congratulate Darren, your new chef!”
“On behalf of myself and my family, we just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone involved in my father’s wake on Friday. It was utterly perfect, and I truly think he would have loved it. Please pass on our thanks to the lovely staff and yourself who made it run so smoothly. The weather was simply stunning, and the drinks went down a little too nicely!”
“The Burns Night was brilliant! Many thanks to yourself and the team for doing a huge amount of work to make it a great success! Everything was perfect!”
“I thought I would drop you a line to say 4 of us had very delicious sandwiches at the Club on Friday lunchtime. They were perfect for what we required – having popped into the Club for a glass of wine and a quick bite to eat.”
