Folkboats are being given away for free in sweden now. Its sad they arent more appriciated. Thank you for showing another side to it mate
A Folksboat is just simply the best vessel you can ever get, if you are into sailing:
Simple, lightweight, convenient to sail, beautiful, but still very tough. I am sailing for 30 years now, but nothing compares to this construction, it is a real masterpiece.
I learned to sail in one, my father´s. Never an engine ( well there was an old Seagull engine stowed away in case of no wind whatsoever but really never used). Sailing in and out of every small harbor on the Swedish West coast and in any condition kind of teaches you what is possible by to do just sailing.
I got to sail Her myself from the age of 15. Even did a stupid thing beating out of a Norwegian fjord in 50 knots of wind against the waves. At that time no wind meters etc so I knew it was too much wind, never quite got how much too much it was until listening to the weather service giving the actual wind force in their evening broadcast..
Now my father had invested in a proper storm main as well as a storm jib and of course, it was possible to sail her even in conditions like that. Now after 50+ years of sailing and a couple of yachts of my own, it is still the essence of pure sailing joy! Few boats like that have ever been constructed. Just fantastic small sailing machines.
A long time ago, no GPS no electricity just charts and a compass, night sailing in that archipelago would probably be deemed criminal nowadays but did we have a lot of fun!
What a stunner!
Beautiful boat. The Folkboat is the olny one that speaks to me. Its keel is resembles something of a living crearure. Cheers
incredible amount of varnish. wow. and then still adds more? she is a beauty
Beautiful
A lovely classic boat . ( En brädhög på svenska)
a boat of dreams - the classic Folkboat
Lovely boat
childhood memories GRAT joy
I crewed on a friends ketch from PNG to New Zealand in 79. When moored in Port Vila then the New Hebrides, along came Mike Bailes in his Folkboat. A retired Naval Commander I believe, he sailed across the South Seas for 20 or 30 years in his Folkboat (Jellicle). Just an absolute minimum of equipment. I remember one of the spars was a still unshaven length of hardwood tree branch! He devoted his time to training men of the Islands in boats and the sea. Proof that you dont need an expensive yacht and the latest gimmicks to sail the Globe. He was probably as close as you would get to a modern day Slocum. I have always loved Folkboats since then. I think Mike died in New Zealand.
Nice! Thank you
Love these stories...Well designed wooden boats are very special and that Folk Boat hull, copied by everyone is the best. Did I hear Recorcinol mentioned? . Brilliant.
Great boat, nice video.
Lovely
Used to have one in Denmark. Must be nearly 40 years ago. Still mis her. Lovely boat.
Amazing classic boat.
Congratulations mate ! She’s a beauty.
Very beautiful boat, finished like a Steinway piano.
Beautiful wee boat
She's an absolute beauty, well done on restoring her. Gérard lacey in Ireland.
What a lovely boat.
A brilliant and uplifting story. Thank you.
A thing of beautiful, I had a Contessa 26. Same sailing characteristics with less leaks. Everyone should learn to sail on a Folkboat.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for another fantastic video! This one made my day.
Love that boat!
Dear "My Classic Boat" channel, you have come a long way. your video's keep on getting better, the sound is so much better then before. Thanks you so much for the video's and greetings from the Netherlands.
Great video and great to have you back!
Wow what a beautiful boat!
I have a very similar Nordic Folkboat built in 1968 at Fartygskonstruktioner AB in Udevalla Sweden. Same windows, same side board endings in front of the superstructure, same interior. They're still an active shipyard.
Good to see you back👏 Lovely boat nice to see boats and club fees I am used too sailing dosent need to be expensive 👍🏻🏴⛵
A beautiful boat for sure and it ws apparent how much joy the boat brought the owner. Very nice, ty for sharing.
My dream boat…
Lisbon. Great sailing boat. I always appreciated boats in my native Cape Verde islands and also spearfishing and diving.
Everyone should do at least one folkboat week.
A good insight to the actual cost to run a small outfit
What a lovely little boat :o)
Wow, what a story!! I admire your approach to sailing. You chose a very good design and accomplished a great result. And in South Hampton no less. I just subscribed. My Dad was US Navy WW 2. GRANDPA a Quartermaster in WW1. I know they shipped thru this harbor!🎩🇺🇸🎩
Great boat, great video. I like your new graphics from the 90’s - almost retro 😑
A beautiful looking little boat. We have a few similar to this here in Melbourne Australia where I'm at.
Beautiful story and boat, it is wonderful to see these classic boats being taken care of and enjoyed.
beautiful folk boat. well done.
The name Jarramas was first given to a ship in 1716, Jarramas (1716), the ship had been named by Karl XII just before the Skirmish in Bender. The name in Turkish should mean roughly 'I will come immediately', or maybe 'I'll be right there'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skirmish_at_Bender
great to see another video, its been a while. thanks. :)
Wonderful boat. Nicely done.
Well done on the restoration, she looks great.
I first learn to sail crewing on an East German built Folkboat in the 1970s. Unlike the one in the video, it was a carvel hull and a small inboard engine. The cabin top was slightly different too in that it had a two step cabin top. It was a wonderful boat, very safe and very forgiving as is said in the video. I later went on to race Dragons, 1/4 tonne and 1/2 tonne but when I think back now it alway the Folkboat that I fondly remember.
big job,beautiful boat !
Nice little boat! They look ancient but only go back to WW II Sweden.
The lastest Jarramas is an old Swedish navy schoolship now morred at the Maritime Museum in my hometown Karlskrona. There has been at least one predecessor with the same name. She is said to be one of the smallest fullrigged ships ever build. The folkboat is a fantastic vessel to sail - safe, strong and forgiving in all kinds of weather and wind.
So glad to see a new post!
Great video Bern!
Thanks for that, mate. I'd love to own one. One day, eh?
New video software? Did not understand the flying pics in pics, very distracting
Thanks for posting that - point taken
Is there anything as lovely as a little folkboat with varnished sides?
Yes, another one.
Great story - not sure about the weird & distracting computer graphics though.
Yeahhhhh, like an 80's music video
Yes, looks like someone learnt a new graphics trick and overused it.
Pressed the wrong button 😂
@@martineyer5336 we’ve all done it in varying circumstances,
but please don’t do it again.
Please, please, please don't make it a regular distraction. Great film otherwise and what a beautiful little yacht
Great interview. Fantastic boat. Love the coverage you give to classic boats and their owners. Think about killing the terrible off the shelf computer generated graphics transitions. They are only suitable for bad Wal-Mart catered wedding videos.
I second that!
👍👍
Did that Dave Blatchford work for Bank of America, London in the early '80s?
👍👍✌️✌️
5:30 Nordisk Folkbåt porr :-)
Is there anything prettier than a folkboat?
The you see one in lapstrake and think.
Wow!
That's the fourth or fifth Folkboat so far!
More if you count the Folkboat derivatives like the Contessa 26.
It's as it should be.
Not that I'm complaining. Folkboat is one of the most influential and accessible yacht designs of the 20th century.
Нихера не понял, но понял что это круто!
1.19, the draft........
Lovely sailing but the square boxes rotating around nearly made me stop watching please don't do it again. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.. sorry for the criticism but if we don't tell you, you won't know...
Thanks - point taken - maybe I was run over by Tik Tok - I'll get the boxes back on the shelf
Eschew the unnecessary video effects please. 👍🏻❤️🇦🇺
Certo che con quella nave di merda come sfondo potevi evitare
Why does the presenter guy ALWAYS sound like he’s shouting. Every single episode
Any comments about the boat?
