Hello Sam,

apologies for contacting you, but I read that you owned and then sold a Albin Ballard to somebody in the Miami area. I wanted to ask if it was a 1877 model. I'm currently seriously considering buying one in the Miami area, it is a blue hull called Mandalay, but obviously that could have changed.

I'd love to hear from you, about this albin in particular, or in general about how an albin ballard fares as a Bahamas and Caribbean cruiser.

All the best,

Ruben Menke
