FOLKEBOOT PAULA / Nicolas Thon
FOLKEBOOT PAULA / Nicolas Thon
The title is being discontinued by the publisher - therefore now at a special price!A man and his boat: a great love.Daredevil manoeuvres, energy-sapping crossings, accompanied by rough gusts and violent adrenaline rushes. Leaning. Splashing water. Rocking in the swell. Breaking cloud cover or a downpour out of the blue just before docking: hardly a sailing day passes without surprises.But isn't the real adventure to drink the first sip of coffee in the morning sun to the twittering of birds and the cry of seagulls, to let your gaze wander over the shore of the anchorage and to know that you have only reached this dreamlike place through your own skill and on your own keel?Both aspects - spectacular sailing and deep enjoyment - can be experienced particularly intensively on a small, unpretentious boat. A Folkeboat, as we have known for 75 years, is perfect for this.How great moments of happiness can be, how deep the love for the boat, for the sea, for sailing, has been experienced by Nicolas Thon since the moment he laid eyes on his PAULA - which taught him everything, also took command itself sometimes, never bitched excessively and showed him: When the spare canister flies through the cockpit, there is clearly too much wind!224 pages, numerous photos. Format 23,1 x 15,4 cm. Paperback. German edition.

THE FOLKBOAT STORY / Dieter Loibner
THE FOLKBOAT STORY / Dieter Loibner
This title is being discontinued by the publisher - make sure you get one of the last available copies.This fascinating book describes the history of the popular Nordic Folkboat.Developed in Scandinavia in the 1930s, the boat became famous for its minimalist design, robustness and seaworthiness.Dieter Loibner takes us through the history of the folkboat community right up to the present day. He tells us about those who compete in regattas around the world, as well as the long-time fans who simply want to go on tour with friends and family and those who have prevented the boat, with its characteristic wooden clinker hull, from ever being significantly altered in its construction details.Precise descriptions and the excellent selection of designs and photos make for enjoyable reading. The foreword was written by Tania Aebi. At the age of 18, she set off on a single-handed circumnavigation of the world, which she was the first American to achieve. From 1985 to 1987, she travelled on her VARUNA - a Contessa 26 and thus a kindred spirit of the Nordic Folkboat. In English language. 236 pages, numerous b/w photos and plans, format 17.6 x 25.4 cm, paperback.
