Low-temperature thermodynamics of the classical frustrated ferromagnetic spinchain near the ferromagnet-helimagnet transition point is studied by means ofmapping to the continuum limit. The calculation of the partition function andspin correlation function is reduced to quantum problem of a particle inpotential well. It is shown that exactly at the transition point thecorrelation length behaves as $T^{-1/3}$ and the magnetic susceptibilitydiverges as $T^{-4/3}$ in the low-temperature limit. Corresponding numericalfactors for the correlation length and the susceptibility is calculated. It isshown that the low-temperature susceptibility in the helical phase near thetransition point has a maximum at some temperature. Such behavior as well asthe location and the magnitude of the maximum as a function of deviation fromthe transition point are in agreement with that observed in several materialsdescribed by the quantum $s=1/2$ version of this model.
