KING'S CRUISER 



The 28-foot King's Cruiser, designed by Tord Simden, who produced the 

 final Hues of the Folkboat, is essentially a Folkboat modification with more 

 room due to increased over-all length and a doghouse. Until Triton sold 

 over three hundred boats in U.S. waters, the King's Cruiser was America's 

 largest four-berth, auxiliary one-design class. At the time of writing there 

 are 231 in the United States and about 300 in the world. The boats are 

 built by A. B. Telfar of Goteburg, Sweden, and distributed in the United 

 States by, among many others, George B. Walton, Inc. (P. O. Box 1528, 

 Annapolis, Md. ). Material is African mahogany. Accommodations include 

 four berths, toilet, galley, etc. 



Principal sailing areas in the United States are on Chesapeake Bay, Long 

 Island Sound, and the Great Lakes. There is no national association for the
