A little while back both Ron (seasalt) and I were bouncing around the idea of a "registry" for the 35TE. Taking it immediately to the next level we said..."or how about ALL of the TE's?" This was based in part on a similar thing our ET friends have going. I bounced the idea off of John who gave it his thumbs up, and then I got distracted!!
So, finally, with some recent prompting from Ron, here it is!
Right now it's an Excel spreadsheet with "common" data across all three types, and then subsections for the 35, 31/32, 28.
In order to keep things under control Ron and I will be the keepers of the master copy. If you wish to add your boat just do so and e-mail the updated spreadsheet to me and Ron. E-mail addresses below.
This is a draft and a bit of an experiment. If our members find this valuable John has offered to look into making it a web-based system, and we'd likely expand it across the entire Albin line. Also, comments on fields to add/remove are very much welcome. And, realizing that some of our members can be, in their own words, "computer challenged" we would be happy to add you to the spreadsheet. To facilitate that I'll be posting a list of the data fields tomorrow (it's getting late). Just send us an e-mail with your info and we'll get you in there.
Participation is of course voluntary. And it is expected that we will all, in the spirit of AOG, understand that this is for the private, non-commercial use of our membership. We are NOT putting this in the "Supporting Members" section at this time as we really want everyone to participate and make the database more useful. And that's really what this is all about. As we all know there was very little that the Albin company made available for us to understand our boats, the systems in them, even how many of a model are out there. So we're going to have to continue to help out our fellow "Albineers". We think this will help.
Let us know what you think!

EDIT - So apparently I cannot attach an Excel (.xlsx) file to a post. To get around that for now I'm including a link to the file on my DropBox account. https://www.dropbox.com/s/r1xv0ecxg7fqk ... istry.xlsx
Dropbox is acting strange and I had to move the file and recreate the link. Can't figure out why, but it should be working now.
Please let me know, via comments below, if you have any issues accessing the file.
EDIT NUMBER 2 - RobS correctly pointed out that I have shortchanged our 26' TE brothers and sisters! My apologies!!
Please add yourselves with a 26TE designation. If there are "special"options for the 26, like the engine box for the 28 or number of engines for the 35/32/31, please let me know and I'll add the appropriate section.
