Designed in 1954 by Uffa Fox, the Albacore is a classic high performance sailing dinghy. Responsive and nimble in all conditions, the boat planes at wind speed over 10 knots, offering exhilarating rides.
Comfortable for two adult day-sailors, the boat is perfect for learning. The crew trims the jib sail, while the helm handles the main sail and tiller steering.
For the veteran sailor, the Albacore challenges tactics and tuning for life. Modern rigging provides exceptional control. For the racers among us, fleets gather for competitive events and regattas running all season, regionally, nationally, and internationally!
Over 8200 Albacore's have been sold world wide. There are active fleets across Canada, the US, and the UK.
Sailing Albacores offers something for everyone. Join a club in your region!
