The Nordic Folkboat is a simple but seaworthy sailing boat, specially designed for the Baltic Sea and very popular not only in Germany. It offers space for a crew of two to four people and is suitable both for cruising and for sporting regattas. The Folkeboat is a long keeler with a Bermuda rig. It has the S-span shape typical of wooden yachts and a flat-rigged stern with attached rudder.

The classic folkboat hull is made of wood and clinkered. This construction method was also chosen for the model to preserve the charm of this magnificent Nordic wooden construction. Accordingly, the frames and the complete clinker planking are precisely laser cut. The high-quality plywood can be stained in the desired wood color and then painted clear. Folke boats were built from a wide variety of domestic woods. Assembly requires accurate work, but is not difficult due to its high prefabrication of parts.

The RC model kit includes all the laser-cut wooden parts as well as all the fittings for a fully functional model, and the deck is already pre-engraved. The sails are pre-cut and need to be glued together with included tape and reinforcing tapes, and can then be sewn as well. The mast is assembled from several layers of plywood pieces and sanded.

The ballast keel is specially cast and must be ordered separately due to its heavy weight. It already has cast-in threaded rods that are inserted into the wooden keel and screwed from the inside.

The basic version of the kit is equipped with a self-tacking jib with jib boom, which is more manageable for model sailing. For this version, only one sail winch is needed for both sails. For experienced model sailors, a larger jib sail is available with accessories under item no. 20392, which is then pulled past the mast to the other side when tacking with two additional sail winches - a sophisticated and very prototypical tacking option, which, however, requires some skill and practice. This variant can also be retrofitted.
