I have always admired the folkboat design, so when I was in Europe recently, I chartered one for the day. Here is how it went! I often day dream about buying on of these, so I put it through it's paces to see if I'd like it. I test how it behaves on the different points of sail, how it maneuvers and how well it sails itself in different directions.
I'm not affiliated with this but you can actually hire this particular boat

I owned and sailed a Folkboat for 10 years. Nothing but praise for the design. Enjoyable and easy to sail single-handed, strong and able to handle heavy seas, and definitely able to set up to self steer. The keel shape and ballast always made you feel confident. Of course, everyone will tell you that there isn't a lot of room down below. Sitting or crouching, no standing.

@@ATubeYouAre-u3f i really like the way this particular one was setup. Below there was just one big bed instead of two skinny ones. You dont need standing headroom if its not necessary to move around inside the boat

Lovely boat. Cool video. And I learnt something from how you tied off the tiller. Thanks!

Thanks for a very informative and chill tour of the boat.

Wooden boats are very beautiful, and sails way better than fiberglass boats. I had the great experience of sailing in a folkboat, amazing.

Wooden boats can be beautiful but saying they sail better than GRP is nonsense.

up in sweden you can even get one for free sometimes, lovely boat!

@dominictarrsailing 7 месяцев назад

I have noticed how cheap they are in Sweden! Obviously a lot of maintainance, but a mooring in Sweden is expensive or requires a long waiting list right? That's part of why the boats go so cheap

@behonestwithyourself3718 Год назад

Sweet boat. I need to find those mast roller thingys. Anyone know what they're actually called or where to get them?

@dominictarrsailing Год назад

now I have to know! it's a "mainsail feeder" www.westmarine.com/spinlock-mainsail-feeder-414128.html

@c.stewart000 Год назад

Did you need to demonstrate any competence (link to youtube channel)? Give a bond? What did it cost to rent for the day? Do you just need to say, I want a boat? Thanks for the vid :D

@dominictarrsailing Год назад

it was ~100 euro with ~500 bond. when he was showing me the boat, we were looking for the cooker, and he said the way I looked through the *cupboards* convinced him I was a boat guy... Another time, when asked specifically for a certificate I just said "I can tie a bowline with my eyes closed!" and they said that was very convincing!

@c.stewart000 Год назад

@@dominictarrsailing Ha! yes that sounds straight forward not what I expected with german process. I was in germany last week and had to register my address, complete a form, show my passport, and be issued with a identification card to sit in the public library (took 30 minutes).

@dominictarrsailing Год назад

@@c.stewart000 yeah I know it! to get a german sim card I had to go to the post office and show them my passport. (there was an online verification, through video chat, but there was no option for "new zealand passport" at the verifiers end! but apparently if you go to a spatsi you can get a preregistered simcard. I read that the med requires a certificate but the baltic is just your own responsibility

Моей лодке почти 60 лет. Старше чем я. Ходит по японскому морю очень хорошо и не думает стареть.

@andyknowles772 11 месяцев назад

Not to wazz on you pommes frites mate, but that's not a folkboat. That's a 'familj folkboat". Same rig and hull, but a roomy, luxurious interior from the bigger coachroof :-). And if those hulls don't leak (early in the season at least), there's something wrong. (Source - ex owner of a folkboat built in the early 40s). Good to see you enjoying the old girl, they really are are beautiful sailing boats as you discovered.

@dominictarrsailing 11 месяцев назад

it's only got sitting headroom! I would love to see what it's like inside your folkboat

To sailors, real coffee and wooden boats.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Folkboat "The Nordic Folkboat (Swedish: Nordisk Folkbåt) is a Swedish sailboat that was designed by Jac Iversen [sv] and Tord Sundén as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1942. Even though Sundén drafted the plans with design ideas provided by Iversen, Sundén was never credited as the actual designer of the boat.[".

Wooden boats are for very rich people: either money or time.

@maritagraefer6027 Год назад

Got seasick by watching. Too much camera movement. Try a stabilizer .

My father and I used to sail almost every weekend with ours during the 90s. A lot of work to keep in shape (and not too leaky!) but very good boat to own if you want to meet nice people and chat. Another great 🇸🇪 design by Tord Sundén (with help from 🇳🇴 Jac Iversen) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Folkboat
