See How A Master Outfits Her Boat 

With all the crazies you see today, how refreshing to see and hear a Lady so grounded and confident and also humble and gracious. How wonderful to sit and just have a conversation with her.

I return to this video every few months to be encouraged by such a balanced spirit. Carol, and her Folkboat, are incredible examples of creation. This always reminds me that good design precludes good action, but it all starts with a thoughtful design. Blessings!

I clicked the video because the boat looked nice. I didn't expect the speaker to be so enthralling! I could listen to her all day. I want Carol Hasse to teach me about life. Her children are so lucky to have such a knowledgeable guide.

"A gift beyond imagining." I love that.

This video is a gift, 1 in 1,000. Carol Hasse's vast knowledge and authority is exceeded only by her humility and grace. Thank-you.

What a lovely talented woman! And she plays her own intro as well !!! Great !!!

What an incredibly cool lady. , she gives you the reminder that you shouldn't let the days playing with the boat get by you. Thank you for posting that.

I imagine I could listen to you the whole day. With humility and calmness, the love of your life speaks so very clear. True happiness shining through.

Although clearly possessing vast sailing knowledge, you exude a casual humility that is refreshing. Thanks for the video!

Ann Gash , in 1975 , sailed her folkboat from pittwater north of sydney right around the world .She returned to pittwater in 1977 . Ann Gash was an amazing woman and to sail a little folkboat right around the globe is an amazing testament to what a fabulous little vessel the folkboat is

The sailing romantic in me just gushed over this wonderful glimpse into the life of a master sailor in a beautiful boat.

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! Lady. Boat. Video. BRAVO! Three thumbs up.

Carol Hasse is a league of her own such beautiful love of sailing and a true Captain with such class and elegance would love to see her on a channel of her own with her sailing adventures to all the Sailors Captains Skippers and Crew may your journey and adventures be wonderful fun with fair winds with following seas.

I’ve watched a lot of sailing videos in the last couple of months and this is easily the best use of time! So useful, informative and pleasurable to watch 😌

I really admire this person and their vision.

If I ever sell my current sailboat. I'm going to get a folkboat love the way they look ♥️♥️

Nice to see Carol keeps the boat so nicely maintained. M Dad had a Danish Folkboat when I was young. I really hate clinker hulls, but it was a fantastic sailing boat.

that "cold beer locker" i salute you captain. love your boat and all the brass work>

Beautiful folkboat. I've recently began studying these boats. Kind of a minimalist. I think I can live on one. I like them because they are heavy duty. Can stand up to alot and bluewater.

Lovely. Both the boat and the owner!

Carol is truly one of the nicest people I know and "Lorraine" is lovely beyond description. I think Carol's boat reflects her as a person, which is to say, beautiful. Nice video.

What a wonderful share. Thank You.

Carol Hasse built sails for two of my 7 boats over the years. They were beautiful! One was an all blue Drifter for my 4th sailboat an Ed Monk cutter, AURORA. Sailed her to Chatterbox Falls with my daughter for her high school graduation. My third boat was a "Frisco Flyer" the Hong Kong copy of the Folk Boat named STORM TREE. The moment I sold her, knew I would regret it the rest of my life.

This woman's boat looks like a museum piece

The folkboat is definitely a beautiful boat, lovely sheer line, love the lapstrake hull, in all a beautifully proportioned boat all round

This was a great story! I love it!

What a beautiful video. Carol’s words about her boat at the end of the video just about encapsulated everything about the beauty of wooden boats and our great privilege in the western world. I hope we can all enjoy it and not take it for granted x and pass this onto our children.

Well kitted out.Lovely lady.

squared away boat....truly admirable. thank you

Great video , beautiful boat and an inspiring woman! Fair seas to her!

Carol loved this clip. Thanks for sharing. I wish I'd known about these boats years ago. Absolutely great. Thanks.

Best sails you can buy, period!! Best of all, all the people working there are first class human beings. Great service, great people 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️

Wonderful boat, wonderful lady, wonderful part of our country. Thanx.

Just beautiful! What grand adventure!!

I love this dedication, magic boat!!!!

Beautiful little boat.

Wonderful boat, Great video and Carol Hasse is a gift to all who aspire to sail.

yes folkboat what a great boat..had one back in the 70 s...lapstrak hull,nice cockpit and cabin.. did a lot of work on mine..have been a boat for over 45 years..when i started building boats they were wood,no fiberglas yet..did a lot of one offs..lofting new boats and plug building,for the fiberglas molds..going to work was never a job.. i really miss building the wooden boats though.. really enjoyed the vid

Carol has a delightful voice and way of speaking. Loraine is beautiful yacht.

Wonderful story. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing all your wisdom, experience and love for boats ...real boats. God bless you!

Fantastic! Steady as she goes.

What a great pleasure, and feeling of peace, to have, among us, you, a real treasure…may you sail, and sail for long to spread great feelings as you sail along…

Pretty cool boat. Lots of simple but very efficient/effective systems.

She is so inspiring. Many thanks for this.

What a sweet, sweet video! Many thanks!

Brilliant, love Carol and Lorraine 🙂

That was an amazing story. Very well done

Haven’t been blue water sailing in 23 years. Makes me wanna go!

... great video, wonderful personality Carl has.... a real salty sailor blood going through her venes.. I am sailing since the 70th... and in Europe we know Folke Boats very well.... amazing , safe and sportive boats till today (even exist in epoxy for those who fear lots of wood work). Keep up your good video and interview work ! :-)

I feel inspired, beautiful yacht and a credit to her owner

THANK YOU, these are things that every skipper should have handy ! great tips...they could be life savers ! hope you never have to use them....! fair sailing to everyone !

This is the kind of video/interview I want to make when I grow up. Great job!

Both the boat and its captain have personality. Thanks for the video

Wonderful boat, wonderful interview.

Outstanding

Inspiring interview,, Skipper, and boat. Thank you.

Started with a Van De Stadt Pandora 22', now a old Victoria 34. Great Vid.

Cool !

It’s no wonder at all that she feels comfortable in her boat; forty two years after all. A lot of thought has gone into the kit here.

I absolutely love your video. It makes me long for the Northwest.

Great to find this video...I have KC36 on Lake Huron and need to sail her a lot more than I do.

she is a guru

Great. Once in a while I fell sorry to see my cultural heritage "exported". Not this time. You are doing a splendid job at maintaining this simple and well thought out boat, while at the same time making it your own. I hope you'll both sail on forever. Salty greetings from a fellow sailor in Denmark :-)

Art in wood, beautiful

You're so sweet and what you say is true stay true to yourself be happy in your soul she's a beautiful boat she'll bring my happiness to everyone thank you.

When this sailor speaks, I SHUT my yap and pay close attention. Thankyou Captain for the tour of your girl. Exceeding lovely! Hail from S.V.Restless. ( tramp sailor liveaboard somewhere in the San Juans...)

WHAT A CUTE GIRL, AND SMART, GREAT VIDEO.

Very cool Transatlantic! Nutters

❤️

You're right in my neighborhood.

What a great Lady! Thank you for sharing.

Wow

The head its awood bucket haha

Nice boat and video❤ I wonder where can I find the measurements for the stern oar. Somebody can help?

Does anyone know where I can buy hinges for a forehatch on a Marimar folk boat..circa 80's I think?

how can she get the emg raft out quick if the boat is sinking?

If she ever sells I'd be interested. I'm in Washington too.

I hope i look and work so well at 60. Shes a smasher.

She is selling me on that part of the world.

Nice jewel👌, who the hell put these bottles in my bilge 🤗😉

Respect

.....you may have just re-instilled my faith in humanity.......quality human beings seem to be a rare thing these days...
