Albin Ballad

The Rolf Magnusson Albin Ballad stands out as one of the best cruiser / racers built in the seventies. These slim, fast vessels have stood the test of time well and are still very popular as sporty family cruisers today. The accommodation has 4 full size berths plus a couple of snug pilot berths, handy for the kids if needed. There is a good sized rear facing nav table, a fully gimballed cooker and a foldaway saloon table. Known for their seaworthiness and performance in both fair and cheeky conditions, these well designed/built vessels make for an ideal fast passage making cruising yacht and are equally good for racing around the cans, perhaps along with others from the class association. This example has been well maintained and included are the following extensive upgrades; Engine replaced with a Beta 20 in 2016, new cooling system, exhaust system, drive train and folding propellor also replaced at that time AIS transponder (Cactus) installed 2017 New mast and standing rigging fitted in 2018 New cooker and oven installed 2019 New sails in 2020 New boom and associated running rigging, including lazy jacks and drop bag fitted in 2022 Throttle and gear box replaced 2022 All 3 batteries replaced 2022 2013 new LED Navigation lights.
