1970 Albacore 15

I bought this boat for $100 and decided to part it out rather than restore it. Here are photos of the boat right after I bought it.

The first Albacores were built 1955 in England of wood. The sail number shows that this boat was built in 1969 or 1970.

Although I could find no reference to Albacore spinnakers, this boat had been fitted with one. I sold the mainsail, spinnaker and traveler for $200.

After using parts to repair other boats, I scrapped the hull, but not before a church borrowed it for a children's program!.



The following pictures were borrowed from the Albacore website.
