However, the boat is a bit too lively for my age (79 years). The Albin Express is a lightweight boat with good speed potential and an exciting rig where there is ample opportunity to work on trim adjustments. If you are interested in practicing "trim," this might be the boat for you. The boat has a good reputation on the racing circuit. Being younger and more agile is certainly an advantage. The layout with galley and storage drawer is very flexible, and the many storage spaces in the salon make this boat suitable for weekend getaways and vacations. **Maintenance and Improvements** Significant repairs prior to our ownership include: Running and standing rigging The mast has been renewed in recent years with a mast from Swedish supplier Benn’s. A whip has been installed at the top of the backstay (renewed about 6 years ago), and it looks very nice. Hull / Deck: Below the waterline, the bottom has been completely stripped and treated with VC TAR2 boat primer and VC 17m antifouling paint (as stated by seller). **Maintenance and Improvements During Our Ownership** Rigging: The running rigging that was heavily soiled and stiff from salt has been removed and machine washed. The ends of the lines have been re-tackled. Blocks have been cleaned, rinsing out any salt. Sails: One set of racing sails: mainsail, jib, and spinnaker from North Sails. The headsail has been inspected by North Sails in spring. One set of cruising sails: mainsail with a rope, jib Boom cover and protective bag for headsail have been cleaned and treated with impregnation. **Hull / Deck:** Exterior It is planned that the boat will be taken out of water; fouling will be removed, and antifouling treatment like VC 17m will be applied. The deck has been cleaned of algae and years of dirt. It is planned that both deck and freeboard will be waxed. Interior The hull has been washed internally to remove years of accumulated dirt. The interior fittings have been inspected; missing screws etc., have been replaced. **Electrical System:** The electrical system works but is older model. A charger is included along with a 70 Ah gel battery. **Heating:** In the fore cabin bulkhead is mounted a mini cabin heater type Wallas Marin oy, Finnish manufacturer from Turku, designed to burn paraffin oil with exhaust through the cabin top. The cabin heater has not been serviced and is currently not in use. **Interior:** Woodwork at companionway hatch has been removed, sanded down, varnished, and reinstalled using Sika Flex 295 UV. The hatch is now tight. Various mahogany veneer panels covering storage areas have been glued together and varnished. Tabletop has been sanded down and varnished. Galley drawers have also been sanded down and varnished. Floorboard has been sanded down and varnished. Screws and bolts in or under deck are re-tightened. **Outboard Motor:** Suzuki DT6 - two-stroke Oil has been changed in the gearbox; spark plugs have also been replaced. Engine parts have been cleaned and lubricated with marine grease; afterwards, it starts up fine. 20 l external fuel tank located in aft locker has been cleaned out and filled with acrylic gasoline suitable for two-stroke engines.
