The comment from an unknown sender concerning the "Folkboat Debutante" caught my eye. My father, Howard Reisinger, sold and imported the Debutante sloops, a "refined" folkboat built under contract in Denmark in the 1950s and sold by Reisinger Yachts International. I would truly like to know who owns and enjoys one today. It was a fine sailing boat, and represented in many ways the end of an era, with the advent of fiberglass. TLC required, yes. Still, no fiberglass sailboat has quite the feel of wood, which is, as my father so often said, "alive."
I have sailed all over the world in larger yachts, but my recently acquired 30-year old wooden Folkboat is certainly the best sailing fun I have experienced in years.

My first boat, a 1958 Folkboat Debutante can take anything you throw at it so I'm told. I can't go anywhere without getting a lot of interested lookers. Great for starters, racers or weekenders.
