Albin
Modifications
The Albin Trawlers come in many sizes, however, we will focus on the
smaller versions i.e. the 25 and 27 foot models. Both these models
are out of production; in fact, Albin no longer makes a true
trawler.
The 25 foot model was made in Sweden in the late 60's and 70's.
They have an aft cabin along with the main cabin and cockpit. They
were made with and without a mast - although they did not sail well
because of the small keel. The 27 foot model was at one time
manufactured in the United States.
Our trawler is a 25 ft model make in 1972 and it is still going
strong. It was only a few years ago we replaced the original engine
with a 35 hp Perkins diesel. Over the years, I have seen many
modifications to the basic design including steadying sails, hard
top over helm and even an extended hard top over the cockpit. It is
truly a safe, sturdy, well made reliable boat.
