Albin Vega 27 sailboat on
trailer, equipped for cruising and ocean crossings. Well-kept, clean and
refit, ready to
trailer, ready to sail. The last two years
on the hard have been used to upgrade and repair/replace/recaulk/rebed/touch up after 6 years of extensive cruising to
California,
Hawaii and all along the BC
west coast. Heavy
fiberglass construction. No
blisters, no
delamination. Solid and dependable.
This bluewater-proven sailboat is ready to sail across oceans today, without breaking the bank. Have you always wanted to sail to
Fiji, the Marquesasas,
Hawaii,
New Zealand? Or even around the world? This is the right
boat to do exactly that. Trailer to
San Diego first and jump right in the tradewinds to avoid the coastal pounding if you want. Stop dreaming and go. Live your dream. Easy to singlehand.
