Tamas told me there are more than twenty Folkboats on Lake Balaton of which about
ten are active racers. Most are wooden Nordics but at least one is a British Folkboat,
Tamas himself has ‘Zarandok’, the only GRP Nordic in Hungary. He bought her three
years ago in Hamburg and then began a five month renovation. The Folkboats race
regularly and each year organise a 3-day “Folkboat Meeting” where sailors and
families can “sail, meet each other and spend free time together”.
The Nordics race using spinnakers and often race with the IF Boats using a handicap
system.
