Albin 40 NSC in Port Ludlow, WA

[wavedweller]

Hi everyone! We are the new owners of Kindred Spirit, an Albin 40 North Sea Cutter. We live in Port Ludlow, WA and will keep Kindred Spirit in the Port Ludlow Marina. We are also joining the Port Ludlow Yacht Club. Kindred Spirit is hull # 11, and has been in Long Beach, CA since it was purchased in 2006. It has been a single owner vessel until we recently purchased her. I have been reading the forums since I was first interested in this Albin. I have learned many things from you already. Things that were invaluable during the survey! I look forward to being an active member of this forum.

Looking forward to seeing your boat and getting to know you . We met at the yacht club the other day . Blue Moon will be moving to Port Ludlow soon , from Kingston , Wa.
As I mentioned when we chatted , we have a great Rendezvous planned for Albin Owners at Bell Harbor in early July . You can read about it in AOG . Look for the PNW Rendezvous topic .

Welcome and Happy to hear of your purchase. Actually I would enjoy seeing the boat up close. We have a wonderful group of PNW AOG
members. We will be seeing in Seattle the week after the 4th July. Check out the Rendezvous section for details. Hope to see and meet
you then.
I am located at Anacortes Marina currently in a 36 Albin Express Trawler & formerly a 35Te Albin Sport flybridge. I see you have already meet our very active member John.

Welcome the NSC 40. I was aboard your boat in Long Beach about 3 years ago when it was being used as Bed and Breakfast.
If i recall it had both a bow thruster and stern thruster. Not sure with twins why the boat needed that? Wish all the luck with the boat, they are sturdy cruisers and wonderful to entertain and sleep three couples aboard.
Feel free to PM me if you need help with the boat. I have own hull #3.

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I now have Kindred Spirit in its home slip at Port Ludlow Marina. I will be more active moving forward.

Great looking boats. Since I am Boat Less in Seattle I would give one some thought were it on the west coast.
Very difficult boat to bring across the country. Howard
