Albin 25 Trawler, Yanmar 2GM20F Diesel, Mast And Rigging, Custom Trailer

1970 Albin 25 Trawler is a Coastguard documented Albin 25 built in Sweden in 1970 to demanding standards to tackle the North Sea. She is hull #459 (solid fiberglass, no wood core). The same hull was used for both the sailing model and the power only model. This one has the optional sailing rig. There is a huge following for these seaworthy boats and if you do a Goggle search you will see several owners groups. I have included a lot of information here and many pictures in hopes of answering most of your questions. Please read the information and do your homework on these great boats.

The projects are relatively small compared to most boat restorations but they will require some work, nothing that cant be done by anyone with minimal boat skills.

What needs to be done to complete restoration:

Canvas, paint, recover or replace cushions (5), replace cabin windows (6), replace wood in aft cabin and repair/replace bilge pump.

Finish it and you'll have a $20,000 to $25,000 boat.
