Just one more

I know I've probably done folk boats to death, but this one just looked fantastic in the evening sun.

  3. I have a very good informative book about Folkboats - 'The Folkboat Story' by Dieter Loibner - tracks the Folkboat history rather well.

    Despite the fact that the later versions have more cruising accommodation I like the early classic Nordic lap strake planked version.

    There is a close cousin of the Folkboat that to my eyes is more aesthetically appealing called the 'Knarr' - also called an 'IF' boat - similar size - very beautiful.
