Folkboats are perfect where so'ere you choose to use tham. I had an old glass Illingworth and Primrose folkboat derivative, an Apache 29, and she went like a train here. I kept her in Watermouth in North Devon. she is still resident there with her new owner, but at the moment she is in the Carib, St Marten. She will be back next year.The thing I really loved was the way that the tiller never got 'hard'. They are true sea boats.
