Broker's Comments

The Rolf Magnusson Albin Ballad stands out as one of the best cruiser / racers built in the seventies. These slim, fast vessels have stood the test of time well and are still very popular as sporty family cruisers today.

This example has been well maintained and upgraded. She was repainted this year and had new genoa tracks fitted. Her standing rigging is well below the 10 year point and her running rigging leads aft and includes single line reefing. She has a modern, comprehensive & integrated navigation suite (2013) and she was fitted with new LED nav lights last year.

Her engine, which has been professionally serviced every year, could do with some t.l.c. as she is burning a little oil. Hence the competitive price for this very capable and well-equipped swift cruiser.

These boat details are subject to contract.

Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
