Wooden Ships Comments on this English Folkboat
An English Folkboat built in 1964 by Parhams of Emsworth. Typical of the English Folkboats which took the successful and celebrated Scandinavian hull design but increased the interior volume by adding a higher coachroof and a small dog house.
This is a smart example with laid teak decks and lots of varnished mahogany. She has been well cared for in the present ownership with lots of professional work done in recent years. She has recently had a spring refit including antifoul and engine service and is afloat and ready for the season.
