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?

Rough and smooth
Well after a bit of steep chop rounding st abbs (poor freyja was sea sick), we arrived only 10 mins after our eta to be met outside cove by our host harbour master ben tindell in his boat Amore, who escorted us in through the tricky narrow curved channel between the rocks. What a great welcome and much relief.
