New Member Albin 40

Post by jrose »

This is John, my wife Jan and I are the new owners of a 1987 Albin 40 with the single Lehman 135. We were sailors for a number of years but decided last year to sell and move to a trawler. We are hoping, over the next few years, to start to do some extended cruising. We are out of Midland, Ontario on Georgian Bay. As I get more familiar with the boat and systems I am looking forward to any advice on the boat, and helping others where I can. Currently there is an issue with the temperature and oil pressure gauges that I am getting some help with from Bob and Brian Smith. Hope to have that resolved soon, but if not I will be looking for advice! Thanks

Hi John (and Jan)!

Welcome aboard. Best of luck with your "new" boat. Let us know how the engine issues work out. Hopefully minor and quickly repaired.

Very Nice Boat. Welcome to the group. Would love the extra room of a 40' myself.
