About UK IF-Boat Association
IF-Boat history
Following the worldwide success of the original wooden Nordic Folkboat, it was natural that the Swedish Yard of Marieholm Bruk should commission designer Tord Sunden to redesign the boat for fibreglass construction. The International Folkboat appeared in 1969 and became known in Europe as the Marieholm IF Boat.
The UK association
The association was set up by members of St Mawes sailing club to promote IF-Boat racing in the area.
We love these beautiful boats so we aim to encourage all IF-Boat sailing in the UK.
