The family is all home in bed and washed out tired after lots of weather and adventures sailing over to ross of mull and back on the west coast. Amazing sense of contrast being home so abruptly after a few days of taking in some of the most beautiful scenes and experiencing such a lot of changing weather at sea.

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?
