Yachts and Yachting Report – HRSC XOD and Folkboat Central Solents

James Walters and team Cidron Too won the HRSC Central Solent regatta Folkboat class after close battles with Svenja and Valhalla coming out with Four wins, to 1 apiece for Svenja and Valhalla.

Freyilda also joined in the fun , but opted for white sails, as sailing with a novice crew, and Kindred’s crew sailed on Valhalla to gain race experience.

Great and challenging courses were set in variable wind conditions made for great one design racing , taking advantage of the low tide area off Hill Head with a mix of windward leewards and round the cans.

Big call out to Mike Stoner epitomising the spirit of Folkboating , who raced with full family and friends including 3 little ones dangling bare feet over the side and a Skull and Crossbow Battle flag flying off the backstay !  – We thought we were re-enacting the Swallows and Amazons movie at times !!
