The Albin 57 is a Swedish trailerable sailboat that was designed by Rolf Magnusson as a coastal cruiser and first built in 1977. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Contents

The boat's designation is its metric length overall in decimetres. [1] [3]

Production

The design was built by Albin Marine in Sweden between 1977 and 1981, with about 400 boats completed, but it is now out of production. [1] [3] [5] [6]

Design

The Albin 57 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig with aluminum spars, wire standing rigging and a single set of swept spreaders. The hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a swing keel. It displaces 1,764 lb (800 kg) and carries 562 lb (255 kg) of ballast. [1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 4.26 ft (1.30 m) with the swing keel extended and 1.97 ft (0.60 m) with it retracted, allowing ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [3]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring. [3]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settees in the main cabin. The galley is located at the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove. There are hull-mounted rectangular ports on both sides of the boat. [1] [3]

For sailing the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of 269 sq ft (25.0 m2). It has a hull speed of 5.43 kn (10.06 km/h). [3]

Operational history

At one time the boat was supported by a class club that organized racing events, Albin 57 Owners Association, but it seem to be no longer existent. [7]
