Broker's Comments

The Folkdancer is a Folkboat derivative with full standing headroom. Renowned sea keeping qualities with a 55% ballast ratio they are extremely safe and make a superb starter / cruiser which more than hold their own round the cans.
This one has been a bit neglected over the last couple of years and needs some TLC including cockpit locker lids and a rubbing strake repair but for minimal expenditure she will make someone a super little boat
