On this yacht I felt safe in any weather. It's no wonder, in the first race of singles, two "Folkboats" were launched through the Atlantic. The famous yachtsman Eric Tabarli said: "Do you have a"Folkboat"? Feel free to go out on it to the sea. "
I was on this boat in my first big storm and the first experience of my solо voyage. 2 nd place in the Novocap race 2012, the port of Novorossiysk on the Black Sea. I think this is one of the best yachts to start sailing.
Following the worldwide success of the wooden lapstrake Nordic Folkboat, it was natural that Marieholms should commission designer Tord Sundén to redesign the boat for fiberglass construction. The International Folkboat (IF Boat in Europe) appeared in 1969.
With her long keel, fine lines and 7/8th rig, she can sail hands off. The little ace of single handlers!
Starting from this yacht I began to appreciate the Swedish quality. Before that, I sailing on younger Polish yachts, but Marieholm looks much more cheerful and dry cabin in bad weather.
