Broker's Comments

This folkboat is in need of a loving carer. She has been a bit neglected although she appears to be structurally sound. She does need a new plank on the starboard side and there is a bit of work to do on the stern. The rudder needs regluing and the paint work will require stripping and repainting.
I will not attempt to explain the excellent sailing qualities of a folkboat as all other sailing boats use folkboats as a benchmark.
A boat that deserves to be viewed.
