2024 Folkboat Points Series
This year we have split our Saturday and Wednesday series into a selection of events over the course of the season, to make each series shorter and more competitive. Racing runs from 27th April to 25th September, with most races scheduled to have a warning signal at 13:45, racing lasting on average around 2 hours. The entry fee is a nominal £25 for all entrants which is used at end of season for prizes for the various events. Our Race teams make great efforts to allow us to race on Saturdays and Wednesdays, so we hope to see you all on the water for these events.
Saturday Series now split as follows,
Saturday Cup - 27th April to 8th June. (6 races / 1 Discard)
Saturday Summer Points - 29th June to 3rd August. (4 Races / 0 Discards)

“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.”
