Albin Cumulus

I have alwasy liked the Cumulus. I think they offered a nice balance of performance and build quality. I think that they were pretty well known in their day and well regarded. I liked their simple but very workable interior layout. Finsih levels were good but in keeping with the oiled teak and exposed fiberglass look of that era. The one that I knew best had nice deck hardware and came with small diesel. While I see Jack''s point about this being an ''orphan brand'' I am not sure how significant that would be on a 20 or so year old boat. Frankly I don''t think that I have ever owned a boat that was not an orphan brand except perhaps the family owned Pearson Vanguard.
