Broker's Comments

Wow what a lovely Folkboat , she has been lovingly restored over a two year period and is now been sailed around Poole Harbour. The owner has an album showing every step of the way and you can see how she has been brought back to life. Made originally for the Hendbest family she spent the first 30 years with them. She has now been restored to her former glory and her owner is reluctantly selling her and wants us to find the right home for her. She is an absolute beauty, with the benefit of a nearly new engine. Come and look for yourself.
