Moonstone
£24,500
Built By: Folkebadcentralen, Denmark
| Our Ref | 20220804 |
| Sail No | F751 |
| Location | Lymington Yacht Haven. |
| Year Built | 2006 |
This is a reluctant sale of a beautiful boat. Built in 2006, the hull and deck are in excellent condition. The aluminium spars are a huge advantage especially for winter storage and maintenance. All the standing and running rigging is good condition.
Moonstone has been stored ashore under cover each winter. Old antifouling is removed each year before renewing. The hull and keel have been excellently maintained by Baker Marine.
In its current configuration, the boat is set up for racing, but stanchions for cruising are safely stored away to be transferred with the boat.
The boat can be viewed by arrangement, or detailed photos can be sent.

Built By: Folkebad Centralen (Denmark)

| Sail No | GBR F 733 |
| Location | Lymington |
| Year Built | 2004 |
Built by Folkebad (Denmark) in 2004, the Nordic Folkboat is popular as both a racing yacht and cruising yacht, with a traditional classic look and sails like a dream.
Freedom is a proven race-winner in the Solent. She is constructed in GRP fibreglass, with a wooden mast and jib-pole, and aluminium spinnaker pole. After stripping all antifoul, refairing the keel, and repainting with epoxy, she has been dry-sailed this year.

Fully rebuilt and commissioned sum 20 years ago, following a lengthy spell on the hard. (some 15 years). Full details available on request, supported by photographs. Including new keel bolts, new oak floors etc. entire new cockpit, coach roof etc…
I’ve just completed a major overhaul over the last 4 years (part time!) on the hard.
She is rot free and leak free and ready for a new adventure
Do not mistake this for one of the many aging wooden yachts out there that are down on their luck having been neglected and abandoned to their fate. This little Folkboat is fully restored. I’ve worked on her for 20 years. I know every inch of her. Inside and out. Structurally she is totally sound. Aesthetically superb.
The only area that lets her down are the sails. They are all past their best and would benefit from a new suit.

Takk
SOLD
Built By: Ahus, Sweden
| Our Ref | 20220222 |

Although there was no need for any structural work, I have spent two years fitting her out for cruising. I have subsequently lavished money and time on her, cutting no corners and trying to maintain a traditional aesthetic but using new technology where appropriate. She is being sold due to an unplanned house move and, as with all boats, at a huge loss! The new kit alone well over the purchase price. But somebody will be taking over a gem of a boat, with new and quality features throughout. She has not been used, so everything is new with no wear and tear.
Mahogany interior (with new bespoke sapele additions).
She has been fitted with a remote Torqeedo (sailboat) throttle (£750) in the cockpit for use with a powerful transom bracket mounted electric outboard engine (Torqeedo Cruise 2 R – perfect power and weight for a Nordic Folkboat which isn’t designed for an inboard engine). This is a great, light, quiet and clean system which means you have complete control of the outboard (in forward and reverse) from within the cockpit. The throttle display also shows battery charge state, range, speed etc. The outboard runs off a Torqeedo Power 24-3500 battery stowed forward of the starboard bunk and is included. It is a very elegant and easy system to use and the outboard can be attached to the main boat tiller to give even more directional thrust, great on a long keel boat. The engine and battery are in situ and available by separate negotiation. They are unused apart – battery has been charged constantly. This system can easily be removed if you choose.
