Sad to say, a long-time manufacturer of individualist medium-size boats of
reasonable quality has shut its doors. Albin is no more.

Came close to buying an older Albin trawler once. It was built in Sweden
and I chickened out because the diesel engine was a Peugeot. It actually
was a highly rated, dependable engine but I was concerned about getting
parts.
