Broker's Comments

The Folksong 25 is a classic long keel cruiser based on the Folkboat and built in GRP. Ideal for single handed sailing with in mast furling, she is an easy to handle yacht that will hold a course with little if any weather helm.
The yacht has classic lines and excellent sailing qualities, with a long keel, narrow beam they tend to be well balanced. This one benefits from a modern engine and a tidy interior and looks to be a very well maintained.
