My tribute to the Nordic Folkboat

 This is my tribute to the Nordic Folkboat, recognized by the Classic Boat magazine as " the most popular, successful and influential sailing yacht of all time." The Folkboat pictured here is

Hjalmar Frisell´s Pax Aurea (7,64 x 2,22m), photographed as brand new in the Stockholm archipelago in 1946. My restoration and colorization of Theodor Modin´s photo in the National Maritime Museum of Sweden archive (Digital Museum).
