Broker's Comments

There are only a handful of these beautiful sleek looking FolkDancers left afloat, a Folkboat derivitive but with just under 6ft of headroom they are a cruising version.
This one has just undergone extensive refurbishment. An engine overhaul, new standing rigging and guard rails, a complete new galley has been installed and the mahogany has all been stripped and re-varnished etc.
She sails exceptionally well and close to the wind, all this for not alot of money at all.
