With a new mast and standing rigging in 2018, new Beta 20 engine in 2019, Sanders Vectron fully battened mainsail in 2017, Lofrans anchor windlass in 2019 and Webasto diesel fired warm air heating, this Albin Nova 33 really must be put to the top of your boat buying list.
The Swedish built Albin Nova 33 is known as a fast and seaworthy cruiser racer with a high standard of build and stunning good looks.. The windward performance of these yachts is particularly noteworthy.
When you step aboard "Quadrophenia", you can instantly tell that you are looking at a sturdy and well maintained yacht. When taking the photos you see in these details, it was blowing more than 20 knots in Poole Harbour yet the boat felt incredibly poised, even when the tide started to run and she was lying beam on to the chop!
"Quadrophenia" must surely be one of the best examples of the Albin Nova 33 and she deserves serious consideration for those looking for a fast cruising yacht that is capable of some serious passage making.

Owner's Comments
Quadrophenia was my first proper yacht and she has provided me with many happy memories and safe, fun passages. She sails very well, particularly now with the new propeller, and has taken me safely down to the West County, across the Channel and many trips up to the Solent.
The recent engine and rigging have always given me peace of mind when embarking on these trips. She's a strong, stiff boat and for me she was the perfect choice to grow my experience sailing either with family and friends or singlehanded.
It's time for me to move on to the next challenge - she's ready to go and I hope you enjoy her as much as I have.
