By all means, please keep introducing me to these nice boats! Gorgeous work, Faster. One of the nice things about these boats is, as you guys said, general beefyness of fittings and flexible (if pokey) cabins. All Albins came without lined hulls; the furniture was built in rather than molded in. So a handy feller with a little time could really set one up for cruising.
Were IOR boats commonly under-engined as well? Most Albins came with cranky Volvo diesels, but many have been repowered. What about things like fuel and water tanks, holding tanks, electrical systems? Did IOR boats sometimes scrimp on these compared to heavy cruisers?
