Help guys, anyone know this boat?

Post by DesertAlbin736 »

I'm trying to get in touch with the owners of a Standfast 33 sailboat that is or was docked in Bayou Quay Marina in Deer Harbor on Orcas Island, WA. They have a for sale ad running that shows a picture of their boat named "Lolita" with what looks like an Albin 28TE in the background. I'm not interested in the sailboat per se, but the owners had posted a video of crossing Strait of Georgia in rough weather & I'd like to talk to them & perhaps meet when we're up in the San Juans next month.

Here's the photo.

If you are the owner of the Albin or know who is, and if so you also happen to know the folks with the sailboat in the foreground let me know. The Albin looks a little like Blue Heron that was at the Albin rendezvous in 2014, but I'm not sure as that boat was homeported out of Seattle.

Thanks!

I don't know them, I also don't think that's a 28te...on the 28 the center window is much larger with the side windows more angled. Hull also looks too nose high. And the albins have a lip above the rub rail, with the nav lights inset into it.
Looks more like an osprey to me...

You're probably right. But it does look similar.

Near as I can tell the sailboat in the photo belongs to the guy who posted this YouTube video

This crossing is exactly where we'll be going in July.

And stopping in Nanaimo on the way

Never mind. I figured a way to contact the owner. Moderator feel free to delete this topic.
