Folkboats Services
Storage
We provide three areas for storage to suite your budget.
– Hard Standing
– Open Barn / Dutch Barn
– Workshop unit 5
– UNIT 5
Hard Standing/Outside Storage
Our outside, hard standing area offers a storage area within our complex that has been set aside to offer customers storage at low rates.
Unit 5
Unit 5 provides you with full workshop facilities. With electricity and water with its own wash area and toilet. We find this to be the most popular storage area and it does get booked very quickly so would advise you to get in fast.
Open Barn
The Dutch Barn gives you the advantage to store your Folkboat undercover at a reasonable cost.
Summer Storage
We offer long term storage for your Folkboat and storage for your road trailer when not in use during the summer months, at a vastly reduced rate.
Trailer storage (summer months)
Mast Store
Our mast store provides a good dry facility to look after your wooden spars during the winter and protects them from the harsh winter weather.
Trailers
The Folkboat Cradle
We have designed a cradle system to allow our customers to transport their Folkboat at a low cost by using this system. The cradle allows the Folkboat to be delivered to our customer’s home and with the aid of ramps the cradle can be lowered off the road trailer.
We have found the advantages of the cradle to excel our original plan. the cradle reduces time taken to painting of antifoul by making the hull more accessible without the tow hitch on the front and brake cables etc.
Trailers for Fin Keel Yachts
Available in 2 & 4 wheels designs, fully galvanised with lights on the extension bars. They also have Sealed-for-life wheel bearings, 2 x tie down points, adjustable height rubber faced chocks. It is also possible to have individual designs to suit particular boats and some can have shaped cradles. They all come with 12 months warranty as standard.
Optional extras also include: spare wheel and carrier, guide posts, tie down straps, lowered keel well, sail box, mast supports, lockable coupling, wheels clamps and a fully adjustable chocking system.
