I haven't been on a Albin Ballad, but have been on an Albin Vega, and like the Albin boats from what I've seen of them.
The Albin Vega is a bit smaller IIRC, 27' or 28' versus 30'. You can read a lot more about them at this
website.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
