International Folkboat

[juggleandhope]

anybody got a Marieholm International Folkboat? i was messing around with lifting the boom on mine (the sail seems cut a little short, making it possible) and a guy gave the friendly advice to check that and other little modifications with other IF-boat users.

he and i also heard of an SF association, but the one i found on the net seemed to be of the Nordic variety, not the same boat.

in case someone else does the same search on sailnet i did, here's a list of resources i've found that were helpful. if you know more and especially if you have an IF boat, please reply.

• a good page
• the german association
• a nice page with link to a defunct email list
• generous practical sailor review
