Albin Vega is a very reliable and durable boat. I used this model to make the passage from Sweden to Tunisia, and the boat performed its best.

This #yacht has been slightly upgraded — the rudder is shifted aft, which gives the boat better handling, including in reverse.

New eco-friendly antifouling. Teak in the cockpit and artificial teak on the deck.

The boat was used in fresh water, which is good.

This yacht has an inboard Yanmar 2GM engine. The engine is serviced and preserved after each season.

New 2024 service battery.

The original #sails are in working order, but the sailing inventory may need to be updated in the future. There is a roller furler.

Albin Cirrus 78 for 7000 euros!

Friends, today we have an Albin Cirrus 78 for 7000 euros!

📍 Location: Norway
Length: 7.98 meters
Beam: 2.70 meters
Draft: 1.50 meters
Sleeping places: 3
Toilet (head): Yes
Kitchen (galley): Yes

A solid and reliable sailboat perfect for coastal cruising and weekend getaways.

The boat has been well-maintained and is ready for the 2025 sailing season after being polished and antifouled in spring 2024.

It is equipped with a Mercury 5 hp outboard engine, as the inboard Volvo engine requires an overhaul with sail-drive. The boat has been primarily operated with the outboard motor and sails in recent years. While the Mercury outboard is functional, it may be hard to start.

The boat comes with two foresails and a main sail. The sails are still usable, but they could be updated for better performance.

The boat features a well-maintained interior, smart storage solutions, and is equipped with an automatic bilge pump, freshwater tank, and a manual marine toilet.

It also includes Raymarine autopilot, chartplotter, and depth sounder, as well as a VHF radio, LED lights. The boat offers comfort with a sprayhood and cockpit tent.

This Albin Cirrus 78 is perfect for those looking for a solid and affordable sailboat for relaxed cruising and overnight trips.

With all the issues, like the jib without a roller furling, the inboard engine not working, and problems with the outboard, there’s definitely room to negotiate and lower the price a lot.

An important update is that the standing rigging is new. Many people don’t think about it, but this is an extremely important update.

I must say right away that you need to be a big fan of such sailing rigging to become the owner of a gaff boat.

Three cabins — two in the stern, one in the bow. Two toilets — one is electric, the other is manual. There are also showers.

A galley with everything you need for cooking.

The deck and cockpit are covered with teak. The wood is in excellent condition. In general, such a boat will obviously attract attention and enthusiastic glances. Especially if you will be sailing under full sail armaments.

A large set of fresh sails: mainsail, staysail, foresail, trisail, topsail, cleaver and fischerman. I’m sure that many of you, like me, have never worked with some of these sails. The whole set is in excellent shape.

Hydraulic steering control.

There is a lot of modern equipment on the boat: chartplotter, radar, echo sounder with the fish finder, AIS and more.

An American-made boat that is very popular in the West and very rare in Scandinavia. If you’ve ever checked the U.S. boat market, you’ve probably noticed that these boats have a huge share of the market.

The model won the nomination «Best cruise sailboat up to 33 feet» in 2012.

The hull is reinforced with kevlar, which adds strength to it.

The boat had only three owners. The yacht looks very well maintained. Beautiful non-standard interior. Plenty of storage space. Spacious bathroom with electric toilet and shower.

I should say right away that I don’t have much experience owning a boat with an electric engine. I believe that this technology has a big future, but it’s still in its initial stage.

If you are not able to charge the batteries, you will be left without an engine. When you have a regular diesel engine, it’s much easier for you to calculate the fuel reserve in the tank or canisters.

To have enough power reserve, you will need a good battery bank. New 304 Ah lithium batteries for the motor and 280 Ah house batteries are installed on this boat.

New solar panels with an MPPT controller have been installed. There is a charge monitor for all systems.

The interior is in good condition. There is an electric water supply in the galley. A toilet with an electric flush.

Full set of sails: mainsail and staysail on a furling. The sails are in very good condition.

There is a spray hood and a cockpit tent. The portholes were replaced. Now the boat is completely sealed and dry.

There are also two autopilots on the boat, in case one fails.

What do you think about such a yacht? It’s interesting to hear your thoughts.

The electric motor has its pros and cons, and this topic is definitely interesting to many yachtsmen.
