himself second overall. The race winner was Kim Kristensen DEN768, who finished
7th overall. As for the Brits, Madelaine came out on top with a well worked and sailed
18th in the final race, and as for So! they finished a disappointing 53rd, having just
had a ‘bad day at the office’.
In summary the week had everything, excellent racing in a lovely location, and superb
social events. In essence the ‘Nordic Folkboat’ is really the people’s boat and you
can see why it has stood the test of time, with its design durability, seaworthiness and
adoption by all ages. As Brits we know we can go better and both Madelaine and So!
agreed they will be back in 2018 in Sweden for the Gold Cup, hopefully wiser, even
better prepared and ultimately faster.
The only statement this report can sign off with is the folkboat motto
#folkboatsforever.
