What is it about the Nordic Folkboat? There sure are a lot of stories to tell and we sure are spoiled rotten to sail where we do. We race just inside the Golden Gate Bridge minutes from where we keep our boats where winds regularly hit 20-30 knots. I feel lucky just to be apart of the fleet. The friends and cast of characters, the racing, the travelling to European regattas... it's all too good to believe. The unbelievable blessing continues.
OK, now I'm fired up to go race! Mom was cleaning out the closets and found this newspaper clipping from what looks like 1981? Back then, our local newspapers actually printed stories about Folkboats on the bay! If you can't read it, it mentions my dad winning race 2, Don Kieselhorst winning race 3 and Danish sailor Henrick Sorensen's winning the 1st SF Cup and also winning the 1st race of this regatta... classic.

I'm not obsessed with Folkboats, just committed. If you have any Folkboat stories and/or pictures send them my way and I'll post them for you.
