RE: Newbie to site

Jack,

Welcome to the group. I see your point on the Albin (6' 4). You'll miss that boat for a long time* ..* Wounderful boat** ..* had a 70 for 5 or 6 yrs. Mine was an older rocker bottom hull w a 34 hp HM Yanmar. Cruise at 8.5 to 9 knots. Every time I have to work on my Willard (W30) i wish I had my Albin back. I'm 5' 10" and the Albin was too small for me too. No problem on the Willy though. I know people that often (almost usually) have personel boats in the Seattle area. FF is building a boat to be shiped in a container (I think) and he hooked me up w Atkin Boat Plans .com. I doubt you have a builder situation but the Atkin site is fun to browse anyway. I used to google over Willian and John Atkin boat plans in the library in Seattle when I was 12. The forum is a bit dead now but that gives you a chance to browse the arkives w all the old discussions we've had in the past.
