Hello All,

New member here. Current boat is this Albin 28TE that I have owned since '07 and have been an active member on the AOG site ever since. Very happy with the boat but may consider going a little larger. My family of 4 does a bit of extended cruising, have done 11 night trips on the Albin multiple times, usually all on the hook or a mooring. Can be little tight at time but certainly do-able if your space efficient, etc. Although the Albin is not a DE the things I like the best about it are it's DE similarities - single diesel, pilot house, protected running gear, classic lines, etc. We also fish and dive.

BTW, If anyone has any Albin questions fire away, I'm a DIY'er and there's pretty much nothing on that boat I haven't been through either for routine service, repair or upgrade..

Welcome aboard Capt.. Looking forward to your contributions.

This is my new hangout, as the quest for a single screw DE continues!

Cheers,

You can run but you can't hide!

These DE's can really get you foaming at the mouth. The new builds are very exciting. Do my girls really need to go to college and have weddings? College and marriage are both over-rated anyway, no?

Actually it's the admiral that wants me to upgrade !
