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?

Dunbar
Well we have had a lovely stay so far in dunbar. Every face we meet is interested to know we are well and supplied with the facility key. We are very happy in our birth really getting into the holiday mood. Our lovely dutch friends invited us all for a day trip too isle of may yesterday. We loved it, exploring a new boat chatting about life and taking in the firth of the forth at 11knots. There big catamaran really goes. Landed on may island and had a short walk about, beautiful, felt like precious wilderness we barely wanted to step on carefully walking in single file and sticking to the paths we observed nesting sea birds puffins most funny, all watching us like a giant security team.
