The Junior Folkboat, widely known in Scandinavia as the Juniorbåd or KDY Junior, is a classic 18.7-foot (5.7-meter) keelboat that predates the more famous Nordic Folkboat by over a decade. Designed in 1928 by Erik Salander at the request of the Royal Danish Yacht Club (KDY), the vessel was intended as an affordable, seaworthy trainer for young sailors. Despite its name, the Junior Folkboat is not a scaled-down version of the 1942 Nordic Folkboat; rather, it is an independent design that likely influenced the larger boat's lines. Historically built using wooden lapstrake (clinker) construction, the model has maintained a dedicated following across Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands due to its robust "miniature yacht" aesthetic and surprisingly capable offshore characteristics.
