Our single engine classes are taught on the popular Albin 28 fast trawlers. The Albins are very popular small cruising boats. With a Yanmar diesel, a vee-drive transmission and a skeg keel and bow thruster the Albin tracks like she’s on rails, even up on plane. The parsimonious diesel power plant and planning hull allow her to cruise all day at 14 to 16 knots. The bow thruster gives an added dimension of low speed maneuverability and the diesel is a reliable, economical power plant. The Albin’s legendary combination of sea keeping and comfortable ride make her the perfect learning platform for single engine boaters.
