PRO Simon van de Byl and all his team, as well as all the other club member
volunteers. Great thanks were given to the UK Folkboat Association President, Sally
Kalis along with Chris Baldwick the Regatta Chairman, and various other class
volunteers. Our Danish and German friends extended their very warm thanks to the
Race management team, as well as the local hosts and the overall hospitality from the
Royal Lymington Yacht Club and the local class members. A special presentation was
made to Gillian Poole,, the event manager at the club, who had done an excellent job
with the logistics. The racing and all shore side social activities were enjoyed by all,
especially the party at Monks Pool, Dirk and Sally Kalis’s lovely house & garden.
