google up folklboat images and you will find a couple that have had a 'doghouse' added over the companionway.
Folkboats have very sweet lines, but isn't it forgivable to have some interior comfort and something to duck behind when taking water over the bow?
It's a straight comber shot to the cockpit over the bow in a folkboat.
Even with the canvas dodger Adam has over his companion-way.

Sundeen (designer of the folkboat) Kings Cruisers with their prominent dog-house might be an inspiration for a folkboat remodel. 29', but only 7' wide.

Anybody can camp out in a Cadillac,
but it would be nice to stand up to pull yer shorts on!
