Boat Description

This Albin Ballad 30 has had loving owners over the years & she had a major refit in 2015 costing over £50,000, including a new engine, mast, and rigging. The hull was blasted of old antifoul & re-finished in blue. She won the ‘Concours D’Elegance’ from the class association just after this work was completed. She is lying ashore in Jersey, her current owner has purchased a bigger boat, so Bandit is waiting for a new owner.
