Summary: The small great Dane
Review: Last spring when I saw that a book about the Folkboat was coming out I got very exited.I ordered it for my husbands birthday as we are the owners of a Folkboat.The text in the book is very interesting, but we were a little disappointed about the pictures, because they do not show the full prettiness in this small, easy and funny to sail boat. But it is a great story about a succes. As a librarian I am sad to say that no danish libraries bought this book so I will recommend it to all Danish Folboat owners

Summary: Recommended reading for nautical enthusiasts
Review: Written by editor and boating writer Dieter Loibner, The Folkboat Story: From Cult To Classic -- The Renaissance Of A Legend is a thoroughly fascinating book about the 25-foot sailing vessel called the Nordic Folkboat, first designed during World War II and still sailed in regattas worldwide today. Black-and-white photographs and a clear text present the history, uses, and present day charm of the Folkboat. The Folkboat Story is recommended reading for nautical enthusiasts and a fine gift book for sailing buffs.
