The Folkboat, an emblematic Baltic and North Sea sailboat

With its unmistakable retro silhouette, the folkboat is one of Northern Europe's must-have boats. Here's a look at the history of this sailing boat, still built in Germany, whose charm is an invitation to discover the northern archipelagos.

A successful mix of 4 boat designs

In 1941, the Scandinavian Sailing Federation launched a competition for the design of an affordable, easy-to-handle racing cruiser. Of the 58 entries, 4 designs by architects Knud Olsen, Jac M. Iversen, Alfons Kvarnström and O.W. Dahlström caught the attention of the commission, but none was declared the winner. Instead, the federation commissioned young naval architect Tord Sundén to synthesize the best ideas from each project. This resulted in the launch in 1942 of the folkboat , a 7.68 m clinker sailboat that was simple and modern for its time, without any architect having been appointed. The shipping magnate Sven Salén, who had initiated the project, ordered 60 units from Swedish shipyards to guarantee the class' dynamism. It wasn't until the end of the Second World War, however, that the model spread throughout Northern Europe and as far afield as the United States.

In 1975, Sven Svendsen, a class amateur sailing in the United States, had a hull molded from a proven wooden model. The following year, the class approved the use of fiberglass. The molds for the folkboat are now in the German Haubold Yachting yard, which continues to produce several units each year.

Since its launch, over 4,000 folkboats have been built. In Germany alone, more than 450 boats are actively navigating coastal and inland waters.

A classic, simple sailboat

Even in its fiberglass version, the folkboat retains the clinker hull geometry that gives it its identity and sets it apart from modern mass production. Its fractional Bermuda sloop rig remains very simple, with no runners. Its long keel and extended rudder allow a limited draught of 1.19 m. With 24 m2 of sail area and a minimum displacement of 1930 kg in the class, the folkboat lends itself equally well to regattas and cruising, with excellent speeds.

Many crews enjoy long coastal raids aboard. Although the interior has a low headroom due to its unobtrusive roof, it can nevertheless accommodate 2 adults and possibly children in the forepeak for sleeping.

While some have had a toilet on the starboard side of the companionway, the current boatyard is content with a simple layout, with a chart table on the port side, hiding a gas stove under the tilting top.

Leisure trade fair : Boot & Fun starts in Berlin

YACHT-Redaktion

 ·  23.11.2022

The 20th edition of "Boot & Fun" will take place from 24 to 27 November 2022 at the exhibition grounds in Berlin. Around 700 exhibitors with 600 boats will be represented in twelve halls covering 60,000 square metres. For sailors, Halls 25 ("Sailing, Classics, Refit") and 27 ("Motor and Sailing Yachts") are of particular interest. Although the large series shipyards are not coming to Berlin with sailing boats, several class associations, various chandlers and sailmakers are. The trade fair is therefore more suitable for dinghy and inland sailing enthusiasts.

Other leisure exhibitions run parallel to "Boot & Fun": The Fishing World Berlin, the Car Camping Caravan, the TransporterDays Berlin and for the first time the Berlin Travel Festival . Anyone who buys a ticket for the Berlin Exhibition Centre on these days in November can visit five exhibitions from different leisure sectors. Around 1200 exhibitors will be showcasing their products, services and themed worlds on an area of around 85,000 square metres.
