Another Pac-NW Albin 'seeker'

[BoPopPop]

A warm hello to all you Albin owners and other seekers, until my next "very-last-boat-forever." The Rawson-30, sold at the beginning of the year was going to be my last. But after 4 years and several enjoyable trips North, I respected and treasured that boat - family, not-so-much into sailing. We now own a smaller 'place-keeper' powerboat to get trough this season.

I've admired Albin's for many years but want to arm myself with a bit more knowledge before closing in on a particular one. At present, I suspect the Albin 25 might fill the bill (still open to learning more).

As for me; loooong time boater, professional and recreational, Gulf, East & West Coast. Consider Puget Sound and waters to the north as "God's country," beckoning to be explored with frequent overnight anchor stops; hardly ever at dockside. I've lurked through your fine website for awhile, I'm impressed with the high quality of information, dialog and courtesy - honored to be considered a member!

Pat,
The transition from sail to power seems to be easier when you consider the 25 or 27. Good luck in your search and welcome aboard.
