For anyone who's interested:

Slow and steady progress on my Albin 27 restoration. Details and photos on my website: bowsprit install, deck non-skip, hardtop project, hull painting...


Also Albin27 Buyers Guide and two new supplements free for anyone who needs it.

PM or contact me through website with questions comments.

FYI: the side supports are exact same angle as the pilothouse, and 14" wide instead of 10.5" at the pilothouse.

I'll check in again next year. Lol
Bon Chance!

The hardtop is indeed looking good!

I gather from the temporary supports on the aft cabin roof that the side supports are not yet permanent? One suggestion, looking at it as it is now - Those aft supports for the back end of the hardtop should slant forward at the same angle as the cockpit roof supports behind the cockpit side windows, IMO - Assuming the object is to make the hardtop look like it was on the boat from the factory

The width of the supports is about the same and your angle is *about* the same, but it's off enough to look a bit out of place, IMO

Joe, It's good to see you back again. I was wondering about you and your project. She's looking good. I see the angle as exactly the same. Ben

JT -

Hope we don't only get one update per season!

She's looks great in her new red dress.

My progress has slowed on my A25 but I plan to move woodworking operations indoors for the Winter months to keep me moving forward.

Updates more often please!

It's probably my mistaken perception then - I saw on Joe's website after I posted that getting that angle correct was something he was concentrating on, so I'll bet you're correct Ben

That looks very nice! - Looks like it came that way from the factory, which is the highest compliment you can get!

Very nice!

With that hardtop and the Ritz-Carlton head compartment it will be one comfortable boat!

I'm jealous!
