2001 Albin 35 Tournament Edition

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wheelhouse feels more like a pilothouse trawler than a typical express – great sightlines, solid grab rails, and a deep, confidence-inspiring cockpit. The Tournament Edition layout gives you a massive, uncluttered aft deck with high coamings that keep crew secure when the sea gets bouncy. Underway, the boat feels planted, with the weight carried low and plenty of flare forward to keep spray down. Below, the joinery has that warm, traditional feel, with surprising headroom and thoughtful stowage tucked into every corner. Wide side decks with sturdy handholds make it easy to move forward to handle ground tackle or fenders without feeling like you’re walking a tightrope.

This 35 is particularly well-suited to the mixed conditions you’ll encounter here. The hull’s efficient running attitude means you can throttle back and sip fuel on longer hops, yet still have the speed to beat an incoming weather window. The protected helm and sturdy windshield keep you comfortable when the breeze is up, while the open cockpit works just as well for serious fishing as it does for setting out deck chairs at anchor. Shallow-draft friendliness and predictable handling make it easy to tuck into tighter harbors or explore less crowded anchorages, and the dependable twin diesels inspire confidence when you’re a long way from the dock.
