This striking Folkboat built by Parhams of Emsworth in 1969. Her traditional lines and excellent sea-keeping abilities makes her a fantastic classic pocket cruiser. She constructed to the classic Folkboat lines but features an extended coachroof that provides increased space below decks and improved headroom. St Cat appears to be in fine fettle and is a real head turner with her lovely turquoise hull.
