At
15 feet in length and 240 pounds hull weight, the Albacore is a great
first boat for those who are just learning to sail and a very
competitive racer for more advanced sailors. The Albacore is a fast and
lively while being relatively easy to learn to sail and race. Swept
spreaders supporting a tapered mast with a powerful vang and adjustable
sail controls allow a crew to depower in high winds - enabling both
light and heavy crews to race head to head A very versatile boat, it is
often sailed by husband/wife and parent child combinations. Some of the
all women teams are the most competitive in the class. Those looking
for a simple to learn, yet high performance sailing dinghy can join the
ranks of Albacore sailors who come from all walks of life and range in
age from teenagers to masters pushing 80 years of experience.
The Albacore is a boat that is both simple to get into at first, and
one which will challenge your tuning and tactical skills for the rest
of your life
