7-9 July 2006
The Folkboat Nationals commence today under the burgee of the Royal London YC (Cowes). It will prove to be an extremely close event judging by the depth of entry. Last years champion Jeremy Austin with Ado Jardine on board are back to retain their title.
Others worth watching will be the ever consistent 'Crackerjack' (Matthew Jones and Stuart Watson) last years Southern Area Champions, Edward Donald fresh from second overall at this years ISC Round the Island Race. Lymington Spring series runner up 'Svenja' Mike Stoner and last years Skandia Cowes Week winner 'So!' Simon Osgood.
The event starts today with two 'round the cans' races and finishes on Sunday. Seven races in total with one discard will decide.
