1971 Marieholm international folkboat

This 1971 Marieholm International Folkboat is a classic cruising design by Tord Sunden, proven across decades of ocean voyaging and long-distance passages. At 26 feet with a 7-foot beam, the hull is built from fiberglass and configured for short-handed sailing—manageable and efficient for small crews or solo operators.

Power comes from a 15-horsepower Yammer diesel engine, providing modest auxiliary thrust. The boat cruises at 5 knots with a top speed around 6 knots, typical for a displacement hull of this era and design. The folkboat's reputation rests on honest seaworthiness and the ability to handle open water, qualities embedded in Sunden's original concept.

The boat is set up for cruising comfort and self-sufficiency, suited to sailors seeking a capable, straightforward classic with proven offshore capabilities.
