Hello All. After sailing on a number of different sailboats over the past 50 years, we sold our Catalina 42 to look for a cruising power boat that will be easier to manage at our age. That has brought us to the Albin 35 CB. The closest one for sale is in South Carolina so I am hoping there is someone close to Southern Maine that is an owner that we could see your boat before we move forward on traveling to purchase. Is there anyone in New England who would graciously show us their 35?

I live in Florida and had to travel to Chesapeake Bay to buy my CB35. Seems that nothing is easy when acquiring these nice boats.

Thanks for the feedback. I am simply trying to see one before traveling to look and make an offer.

Hello Ricinmaine, I have a 32+2 CB that I would be happy to show you. It's located in Boothbay, Maine. Currently undergoing a mechanical refresh in Hodgdons Yacht yard in Boothbay. It's pretty much the same boat. The transom on the 35 got pushed back to the end of the integrated swim platform of the 32+2, giving the 35 a slightly longer cockpit and more storage in the transom. The 35 also got an added on swim platform making the overall length a little longer. Other than the added roughly 6 inch bigger cockpit, it's the exact same boat. Let me know if you want to see it or have questions. We live in North Yarmouth and Boothbay is about an hour and 15 north of us.
