fixing that boat
I was felling lonely and bought I got a boat to keep me company. Together we dream about small islands and big sperm whales. This is what it looks like.
The model is called Albin Vega, and its #156 from 1968. Its known to be a very simple and cheap way of sailing off shore. My Vega was called “no stress” by the owner, two owners ago. Unfortunately its consider bad luck to rename boats, and I don’t what more of that then I already do. The previous owner was also unhappy whit it, and dispute the renaming curse, he carefully renamed it “nostres”, which means like “our” in latin. I guess I cant live whit ether of the names and are considering “No Sleep” instead.
What I’m doing now is renovating the boat. Its in good condition, but there is still a lot of work to be done before its ready. I’m spending long days on ebay and late nights at the boatyard.
I’m always looking for cheap sailing stuff and good tips.
