I've googled and checked Folkboat Association websites, but cannot seem to find an source for Nordic Folkboat plans. If they are just not available to builders, is there a derivative design that has plans available?

In 1998 I purchased a set ofFolboat construction drawings from Dansk Sejlunion, Idraettens Hus, DK - 2605 Brondby, Denmark.

now would you want to go to the trouble to build a new folkboat? there are plenty out there and they are so cheap that you couldent even buy the lumber for the cost of one. its like restoring a Chevette,
WOFTAM

used folkboats in "good" condition never go over 8000 euros
used folkboats in "perfect maintained" condition never go over 10,000
if they ask more they never sell.
