American Diesel : Gail and Brian Smith

[Bearkeley]

We are hoping to head south this fall on the ICW and currently in the process of getting our A27 ready for the trip. We found Brian Smith at American Diesel, like many on this forum, to be very helpful with getting parts for our 4D61, but more importantly, valued the time he has spent giving me and my husband the confidence to do some of the work on our engine on our own.

If you have ever visited their shop, you probably noticed the various burgees they have on their wall. As of today, they now also have an Albinowners burgee!

We also had the pleasure of meeting Gail Smith at the National Marine Trawler Owners Association Rendezvous last week and heard some stories of when she and her husband Bob, enjoyed attending Albin Rendezvous on their 28!

I found out about American Diesel through this forum and thought some of you might appreciate knowing that they are Albinowners as well. If you have questions about your Lehmans (Ford or Peugeot), be sure to call Brian. If he doesn't know the answer, Gail promised to help

Brian is a great source of information, and as you say, an inspiration to those who try to do it themselves. I wonder if he or Gail would come to the 2018 Chesapeake Rendezvous to talk "after dinner"?
