15 Kvm KDY Junior boat - the "Folke-Junior" presented
What was wanted was an uncomplicated training boat for the youth of the Royal Danish Yacht Club on the Öresund. The result was a boat for rough conditions

Once you stand in front of it, you won't want to go any further. The cuddly little clinker boat is something for the heart, and many an owner would love to put it in their living room in winter. But once you sit in the small cockpit of the open keelboat, you soon realise what a sturdy vessel you have under your backside. Many a tough trip through rough seas has been ridden off with the junior boat without getting into trouble.

Read in the current issue of YACHT classic how the class stands today and what makes the boat, now also available in GRP, so special. Now in issue 1/2021, the magazine is available immediately from newsagents, or you can order it individually or as a subscription directly from the publisher here.
