From Trawler to Motorsailor






Today Ticaboo became a motorsailor as we raised the mast for the first time. I thought this transformation would take a few weeks but after a year and several months the job is finally finished.






I ran into a number of problems putting a sail rig, from a 1976 Albin-25 on my 1970 Albin-25. Some of the measurements I took from the 1976 boat, the sail rig came from, didn't work on my 1970 boat. The geometry of the sail rig for an early Albin 25 was difficult to come by. With the help from other Albin owners, who had a sail rig on their early 1970 boat, I was able to get the correct measurements and parts needed to finish the job.
