Designed by Per Brohäll and built by Albin Marine (SWE) from 1975–1980, the Albin 82 MS is a compact, well-regarded Swedish cruiser with a total production of 220 hulls. Its enduring appeal lies in its robust construction and efficient layout, making it a staple for owners seeking a reliable, manageable vessel.
- Best for:
- This boat is ideally suited for coastal cruisers and couples who prioritize ease of handling and comfortable living spaces over extreme performance. Its manageable size and stable hull form also make it a strong candidate for single-handers looking for a secure, low-maintenance platform.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 7495.72 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.91, the Albin 82 MS offers solid offshore stability and safety, though its 3.94 ft max draft may limit access to some shallow anchorages.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Nauticat 28 and the Hallberg-Rassy 28, as they share similar beam-to-length ratios and a focus on heavy displacement comfort. The Albin 82 MS distinguishes itself with a slightly lighter displacement and a more modern interior layout typical of mid-1970s Swedish design.
