Broker's Comments
At Boatshed Cornwall we are enthused to list this Ballad 30 (Albin) sailing yacht for sale.
One of the most popular sailing yachts of this size ever built in Scandinavia. An evolution of the JOKER S30(1968). (IOR 1/2 ton) After Albin Marine went out of business in 1982, the moulds were acquired by the Ballad One-Design Association and leased to a number of different yards in Sweden that built a few more boats until 1998.
This yacht was found at her pontoon berth and looks clean and tidy from the outside. Once onboard, it appeared to be well maintained.
This yacht has been configured for shorthanded sailing.
