Broker's Comments

A race around the cans, a day sail to the Pembrokeshire Islands, a singlehanded Trans-Atlantic; what's it to be? The Folk Boat has been there, done that and got the T shirt! You could too, for less than the price of a second-hand Mondeo. A sound and pretty hull, a recently rebuilt (proper) marine engine and recent sails make this yacht an attractive package at the asking price, but offers may be considered.
