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. She appears to have a sound hull and deck, few if any leaks, she's pretty, benefits from a recently installed engine and two new sails.
She's a gift at the asking price and if I'd a deep water berth would be writing a cheque for her NOW!

Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
