Broker's Comments
With keel-stepped masts, these Albin Ballad Swedish designed boats were rated in their day as competent racers.
Well looked-after examples are still a delight to sail if you prefer the traditional, rather than all mod con style. They are also recognised as competent passage makers.
This 1974 Albin Ballad has been regularly lifted and antifouled and has had a lot of interior joinery and her windows resealed.
Close to six feet standing headroom, a smart sprayhood and sail cover, recent Jabsco heads, extra sails and basic navigation equipment are all included. There is an impressive amount of storage in the three cockpit lockers.
If you are looking for an inexpensive, but capable boat that needs a few jobs doing, then this lady might fit the bill.
