Folkboat in Oz
Well, since the topic is Scandinavian boats ... this was built by a Scandinavian but built in Sydney. We finished restoring her a couple of years ago. So, here's a Scandinavian boat with melaleucas rather than pine trees in the background. Rick

You are right , The Nordisk Folkebåd has been buildt I think since 1946 and for some years in GRP... At first it was used as a family cruiser, but in these days it's far too small for that, but it is used for competition and daysailing. I put on a pic. of a row of them on a day the water has left the marina.

Folkboat in Oz
Pipsqueak (certainly not the original name but original details are lost) was built in Sydney in 1962 from coachwood ply. I'm not sure when the aluminium, deck-stepped rig was added but the original key way for the original timber rig remained in the boat until a couple of years ago when I replaced the heavy, galvanized iron compression post with a lighter SS post.

Folkboats can still be seen in large numbers when a regatta is going on.

Thanks for the great photo of the Folkboat building Lynaes. I'd love to visit one of these yards where they're still building these boats in the traditional way. There are big fleets of Folkboats in San Francisco and in Germany too, I think, but so many are fibreglass now. Nothing wrong with that but not much fun watching the building! Rick
