Broker's Comments

The legendary Folk Boat hardly needs any introduction from me! They must be one of the prettiest, seaworthy and responsive yachts ever designed; and certainly the best that I have ever had the priviledge to sail.
For those that don't know them - a race around the cans, a day sail to the Pembrokeshire Islands, a singlehanded Trans-Atlantic, she can do all of the above! Folk Boats have been there, done that, and got the T shirt.
She appears to have a sound hull (a survey would clear that one) she's pretty, she benefits from a recently installed engine and her recent sail wardrobe make this yacht an attractive package at the asking price, but offers may be considered. These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
