Hi John, Thanks for the correction. I only knew Folkboats when living in Europe, and was never aware that Cheoy Lee built something "similar". But the wrinkle boat with the M-15 in the mainsail, is definitely a Montgomery 15, and not a Potter. I hope you are healthy and enjoying sailing in your corner of the world.

Not to 'correct' a seasoned old salt Connie...and, the article says it's a Cheoy Lee 25.
Though of course given the "Potter 18" mistake, I didn't trust that straight out.
It's close in size and looks to a Folkboat but the 'regular' (Nordic) Folkboat is a lapstrake hull (wrinkelboat!) and this one is clearly not. The later "International Folkboat" (which I've sailed) is not lapstrake (or wood) and has a stepped cabin top. And there are a bunch of Nordic Folkboats in SF Bay.
So I did a little research...
Nothing 25' under Cheoy Lee name directly, but she appears to be a "Frisco Flyer 25" (built and co-designed by Cheoy Lee): https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/frisco-flyer
...which would make sense for a boat restored and sailing on SF Bay.

Love those old Nordic style boats.
cheers, John

The bigger boat is a "Folkboat" - the Swedish Model T for sailors. A wonderful boat. I sailed one in the Stockholm Archipelago, back in the early '60's.
Very seaworthy. Tehy've been across the Atlantic many times with single-handers.

Is this a Montgomery or a Potter Yachter??
