They know they have to much sail up, that's why it says entertaining but inefficient :P

Reef or trim.. When you heel like that, most of the wind spills over the top of the sail.

Lots of Folkboats on San Francisco bay. I own a Pearson Commander, but love the folkboats.

A note on reefing:
Folkboats here in Scandinavia are virtually never reefed for two reasons: its generally not needed and the simple rig and relatively thin mast would probably be stressed in a way it was not designed for. Folkboats will race in winds of +30 kts without reefing - wet but fast :)

Reef? Pah! Sailed to Bornholm in 20kts or so on the back of a depression - She got us there, and got us there quick. Weather helm was a bit tiring though ;-) Nice vid and nice music. I have a silly dream to sail my Folke (no 29, built 1941.. props, please :-) ) across thje pond then truck (or sail if time permits) her over to SF for a race...one day.

And I thought the IJsselmeer and the Channel Islands was ambitious :P

Build in 1941...? The Folkboat projekt was created in 1942. Anyway, to have a boat build in 1941 is great.

You're totally right - although for some reason folkboat sailors don't tend to reef often. In this case we were close to the marina and enjoying the ride!

No one was as surprised as me! But I have the builders plate in front of me, and it states "Svenska Segelsförbundet 1941 Års Folkbåt"
From what I've read, I think they were laid down in 1941 but weren't launched until 1942.

Wow nice, i dont know lot about folkboats, but it seems too much heeling, next time try reef for more speed :)
If i am wrong please correct me
