Albin Ballad te koop (1972) in Swansea, Verenigd Koninkrijk

Remarks :
PART EXCHANGE & FINANCE AVAILABLE 

This Albin Ballad is a superb example of this well-regarded Scandinavian cruiser, combining classic lines with a host of recent upgrades that make her truly stand out. A fantastic sailing package, she benefits from a brand-new mainsail with slab reefing (2025), a new 130% furling genoa, new stackpack, and new running rigging, all fitted in 2025. The stainless steel standing rigging was professionally inspected in 2025, offering peace of mind to any buyer. Comfort and practicality have also been enhanced with a new sprayhood, dodgers, and a clear Perspex hatch board, all installed in 2025. She features upgraded LED navigation and deck lights, plus a solar panel for added off-grid capability. With her spacious layout, solid build, and recent investment, this Albin Ballad is a well-balanced cruiser ready for coastal cruising or club racing alike.
