Classic Albacore 16.
Fun light weight sail boat for one or two sailors, It will get you out on the water ! Shallow draft, retractable center board. I have made a bunch of upgrades to the boat, and I am happy to discuss them with you.
The boat has new running rigging and all the standing rigging is in good shape.
The boat has some nice bronze oar locks and a nearly new set of 8’ oars as well - nice if you are becalmed. There is a main sail and a jib. Both are functional, but will need replacement at some point .
There is a trailer with the boat that needs some work but I have been using.
I only travel about 4 miles with it round trip to launch the boat at the ramp to Lemon Bay. It’s perfect to sail the bay.
Really sweet little boat and it deserves a good home.
I would consider delivering it within 50 miles or so.
If you want to see what these little boats can do, look at this video:

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
A development of the original Fairey Marine SWORDFISH.
The ALBACORE has remained one of the most active classes in the world well into the 21st century.
