A great opportunity to purchase this fully equipped, race ready and very successful small racing yacht with the option to purchase road trailer separately. Now lying in Northumberland (recently moved from Cowes)
Basic description
Designed in 1978 by Peter Norlin, who was responsible for the very successful Scampi series of racers, as well as many of the high quality Sweden Yachts fast cruisers, the Albin Express was intended as a high performance small one-design racer. The design is often compared to the well known J24.
Owners Comments:
Expressly forbidden has been refitted for double handed offshore racing but also used inshore fully crewed throughout the 2022 and 2023 seasons. The boat has been dry sailed since 2020. She’s easy to sail, competitive in IRC racing, and has accommodation for basic cruising. You can find a blog of her latest adventures at https://albinexpress.travel.blog/
