New IFDCO Boat Registrar – Welcome, Peggy Bahr!

The IFDCO is pleased to announce that Peggy Bahr has agreed to take on the role of Boat Registrar.

Earlier this year, Rob Taal stepped down from the position for health reasons, and we would like to express our sincere gratitude for his work and dedication. We are currently in a transition phase, during which all enquiries will be handled centrally.
Please direct all requests to info@sailifdco.net.

Peggy brings an exceptional combination of professional expertise and deep class knowledge. As a civil engineer working in an engineering office, she is well‑versed in IT‑ and office‑related responsibilities — an ideal foundation for the administrative and technical aspects of the Boat Registrar role.

Within the Flying Dutchman community, Peggy is widely known and highly respected. She has been sailing the FD for many years together with her husband, Torsten Bahr, and is one of the most successful helmspersons in our class. At World Championships, she has repeatedly proven her skill as the best female FD sailor. Her commitment to the Flying Dutchman class spans decades and is exemplified not only by her own achievements but also by the engagement of her family: their daughter Vivian is actively racing internationally as well.

We are delighted to welcome Peggy into this important role and are confident that her experience, dedication, and enthusiasm will be of great value to the IFDCO and all FD sailors worldwide.

All Boat Registrar enquiries can be done online: https://www.sailifdco.com/technical/

Warm regards,
IFDCO Executive Committee
