Albin Vega #1087 with a running Volvo MD6A diesel, upgraded alternator, newer exhaust system, transmission with reverse, and 2blade fixed prop which hides well behind the keel when sailing.
Sleeps 6
Newer interior cushions, factory option seatbacks fold up to make additional bunks in the main salon
Rollerfurling Genoa and Stackpack Mainsl make sailing easy. Newer tiller. Older vhf works fine.
I sanded the bottom to the gelcoat, applied primer, and fresh bottom paint.
