Ganley September

Meet S/V Albatross, a proven 9.8m, 3.4m beam, 1.6m draft steel cutter, currently located in Coffs Harbour, NSW.

Built in 1981, Albatross is a testament to the proven Ganley design, known for being tough and seakindly. Her 3/16" thick steel hull provides immense strength and peace of mind. Her fin keel means she is nimble in tight spaces, and the rudder has full skeg for safety. The solid dodger deflects the roughest of seas.

The Perkins 4108 diesel engine has never missed a beat, and at 48hp there is no lack of power. With her furling and working jibs, Aries windvane, Albatross comfortably handles short-handed coastal sailing and offshore passages.

Below deck, Albatross offers a practical open layout with two cabins and three berths - the fore berth is almost king sized. The galley is equipped for cruising or liveaboard, featuring a gas two-burner stove with grill and oven, a Vitrifrigo 12-V front opening fridge, and sink. The main saloon seats four comfortably, and there's numerous storage options throughout.

Like many in steel, she is in working boat condition - solid and practical. Albatross presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to set sail and take on any adventure. Due to recent injury and a rapidly expanding family, the current owner is regretfully selling this capable cruiser.

Albatross is ready for adventure and offers an affordable entry into serious cruising. Don't miss the chance to own a sturdy, go-anywhere sailboat!
