This is the story of our family affair with Chuckle the Nordic Folkboat. 'CHUCKLE' is clinker built with Mahogany planks on Oak frames with Spruce spars. A classic wooden boat. She was built by Harry Feltham in Portsmouth in 1954, one year after the famous singlehanded transatlantic sailer Blondie Hasler had his Folkboat 'Jester' built in the same yard. Perhaps 'Chuckle' and 'Jester' are sisters?

Sail refurb
Well to rough to sail but a lovely wet rough day to be cozy inside my mill fixing up my sail. What a beautiful engine it is, and what a pleasure to work on.
Reminds me of goingto the sail loft at cosalt tanning company on Grimsby dockside bought some hessian from a huge roll and stuck it on the wall and painted it green!
