Albin Ballad 30' Sailing Yacht. Seaworthy And Very Pretty Boat.

This listing is for a very pretty, and well renowned Swedish built 9m yacht. About 1500 of these seaworthy boats have been built.Originally designed as a successful half ton racer, that has settled into being a fast cruising yacht.The way they sail, especially to windwards is well known. The fin keel has 1500kgs of lead encapsulated. No worries about keel bolts. A superb boat for shorthanded use, as it is very forgiving and stable.
