Wannabe Albin Owner

[CapnJ]

Hi There, My name is John and when I retire (4 years) I think I want an Albin to cruise in. I've been sailing for 30 years and volunteer on a 100' 109 year old tug. I'll be trolling the boards and asking questions. Smooth Sailing.

Welcome to the group. I support the idea of the Albin. I have a 28TE. Best boat I have ever owned. I have had sailboats and 2 Grady Whites, one a 20' and the other a 23'. The Albin 28 does about 22 mph or so compared to much faster in the GW but my fuel consumption is terrific at only 4.5 gph. Just big enough for a couple of nights of cruising but not too big for day boating. I have found the Yanmar diesel to be very reliable.
Good luck.
Captain Jack

Welcome John. There's no time like the present. Our rendezvous is in your hometown. Stop by and join us.
Is that tug the old steam tug Baltimore?

I'm in Philadelphia. The Tug I volunteer on is Jupiter. Several years ago we brought Jupiter down to Baltimore for Tug Baltimore's 100th birthday. Sadly to say she had just been condemned by the Coasties.
