I will be leaving for Asia (many years) so the simple way is best. thanks will keep you posted...but at this time I have not desided wich of my boats to convert...some advise me to conver my HR28 because of extra storage, others say the folkboat all the way...one experienced sailor who sailed both t...

standing riggins 1/4in and sails are almost new...in this regard finding a proper mast would be good.

junk rig is for simplicity...its cheap and easy to build...even more to operate.

cheers

actualy yes! I love the looks, like the color choices of sunbrella, like the freedom of having no riggings or winches, most of all I like it simple...I just want to get there no rush. thanks for the info, but just for fun how high would you judge the mast from these info? my guess is 32ft, if I am o...

I cant find the mesurments thats one reason I am going junk.

today I optained a flag pole...she will be junk rigged.

photos coming asap...family buisiness to care for first.

later cheers

If you have the pieces, and they are not too mangled, you may be able to have it sleeved and welded. Lots of masts are done that way if long enough extrusions are not available. Our 1972 Morgan 27 came with a joint and sleeve about 4' above the heel and about 2' below the deck. Our 1970 Lecomte has...

yes I understood...however its a small group of continental folkboat owners from lake ontario that comended Alberg to build a larger version of the folkboat witch gave birth to the alberg 30...so indeed many similarities...whitby stop producing the folkboat because both costed the same to build.

hey guys I need advise on what mast I can use for this folkboat...she came with a broken aluminium mast.
any idea would be welcomed.

just sharing my first love...the boat that hooked me...unfortunatly Iv let her go thinking I neede a larger boat (silly me)
anyway I think shes eye candy, enjoy!

you are right this was the model they use to built the A30...notable diference is the coaring...this folkboat has non just like my hr28. the link you shared shows a 1965 model with teak combings and 5.10 headroom...mine is a later 1969 model with 6.1 headroom a deeper cockpit with glass combings...e...

just sharing this unusual version of the folkboat...she will make an outstanding sailboat when i am finish...I may even like her more then my HR-28??

yellow pine was my first choice ( available and cheep) Thanks for your help!
cheers

Sorry I don’t have better photo’s, hope you can figure out how the boat is configured for stiffness. All bulkheads are glassed to the hull and water tight, the salon bunks are about 8ft by 32in?? Enough for me to sleep comfy. I am doing a lot of refit on this boat, many new ideas I am eager to share...

Well there is a bulkhead that seals the lazarett from the cockpit (right at my girlfriend’s feet) then another bulkhead that seals the cockpit from cabin between the hatch and companionway. Bulkheads on each side’s located right under the walkway (see interior photo) Then bulkheads from stove and si...

Hello from Montreal First let me say thank you! For your time, your inspiration and your willingness to share, for this I am grateful to all here. This being said! Here is my love a 1964 Hinterhoeller 28, this is how she was when I obtained her, I am slowly but surely making progress in major refit ...
