Folkboat Week 2024 Open Meeting Thursday August 22nd. David Fox (Folkboat Week Chairman) opened the meeting and welcomed everyone, with both owners and crews in the room over 15 boats were represented, there were apologies from The Sowry's (Mistral) and David Gredley (Lady Linda).

We kicked off the first Saturday with the Gold cup presentation to the Royal Solent as well as welcoming our many new crews to a super at the welcome supper.
