15' albacore sailboat

Yacht clubs, sailing schools and community sailing clubs have long chosen the Albacore for their junior and adult training programs. In fact, many of the top sailors in North America learned to sail in an Albacore.

The United States Albacore Association supports Albacore Fleets and activities here in the states. Sanctioned events run from March until October. The class association provides a lot of benefits including a regularly published newsletter, seminars, regattas (including regional, national, North American, and world championships), and support of local fleets. Another benefit of a strong class associations is a strong market for used boats. The United States Albacore Association is dedicated to keeping the Albacore sailing fun and affordable.

The Albacore is a lightweight, planing dinghy. Sloop rigged with main and 3/4 height jib, the Albacore is typically raced with a crew of two, but the cockpit has room for day sailing with up to 4 adults.

A pivoting centerboard and kick up rudder allow for easy use in shallow or weed-laden waters. Built for safety, the Albacore has built in flotation allowing it to be self-rescued and sailed dry in a few minutes following a capsize. Most boats are built of durable fibreglass laminate construction. Some boats have foam core /glass laminate construction for long term hull rigidity. Hot and cold molded plywood hulls are also available.

15' albacore sailboat

The West River Albacore Fleet (WRAF) has an active racing schedule, both at the club and in local, national, and international regattas, and are looking for interested sailors to join us. WRSC has several options for new and returning sailors who want to try out sailing an Albacore.  For those new to sailing, our adult sailing Learn To Sail classes includes the option of learning in an Albacore. You'll have fun and get familiar with the Albacore at the same time, and our provisional membership makes it affordable. In addition, Albacores are available through the West River Sailing Club for use through the Shared Boat program. Shared boat members include approved graduates of the WRSC Learn to Sail classes, experienced sailors wanting to get back into sailing/racing, and sailors just wanting to try our versatile boat for fun sailing, good racing, and the added bonus of a great social group.

THE ALBACORE

The Albacore is a 15-foot sloop-rigged one-design dinghy typically sailed by two people, but it can also be sailed for fun by one person alone, or three to four people depending on size.  The Albacore is used extensively for racing and recreation in the US, Canada, and the UK. It is a great first boat for those who are just learning to sail, and a very competitive racer for more advanced sailors.  While the Albacores iis a fast and lively boat, it is relatively easy to get up to speed and the racing is very tactical.  A very versatile boat, it is often sailed by husband/wife, and parent/child combinations.  Some of the all-women teams are the most competitive in the class.  Albacores sailors comprise an eclectic group from  all ages and walks of life, including students, professionals, senior executives, and retirees ranging in age from 2 to 82.

Experience with an Albacore?

  • Add to quote

Hello All, I am shiny new on this forum, so first off - hello, great community, and thanks in advance. I have done a fair bit of boardsailing, and puttered around on a sunfish a couple of times, but have no real experience sailing a boat. I would like to buy a dinghy to play around with on our inland lake, have some fun, build some skills etc. I will mostly be single handed, but would like to take my nephews or wife out once in a while. In our local market there are a lot of Albacores available and it has been suggested that this would be ideal for me. Does anyone have experience with this boat? There seem also to be CL 14s and Hunter 140s available. Will all these boats serve essentially the same purpose? Much appreciate any insight, Alex (p.s. I did search the forums - there appears to be little reference to the Albacore - more popular in Ontario I assume than in the rest of NA.)  

15' albacore sailboat

John - Thank you for your thoughts. From my early, basic research I had the same concern. I think I might be fine with the instability (I have put in a good amount of time trying to get very small sailboards to cooperate) but I will not get my mother in law to buy in. Getting wider buy in is important because I hope to move on to bigger boats and more elaborate adventures. Do you have any specific recommendations for dinghies with more stability? Many thanks, Alex  

Hi Alex, Could you give us some idea of what your price range is? Also, will you store the boat at the lake where you will sail it, or will you need to cartop/roofrack or trailer it back and forth? If you will have to transport it, what kind of launching arrangement is available? Do you plan to simply daysail in protected waters, or are you hoping to go exploring and camp cruising farther afield on the inland lake in this boat? One boat I like to recommend for new sailors is the Flying Scot, a very stable 19' daysailer. Another boat I like is the Wayfarer, as well as the O'Day DS (Daysailer), but there are a lot of variables (see questions above) so these may not be a good fit for your circumstances. If you can give us some more specifics, I'll bet other members will offer up quite a few good recommendations.  

Hello John - Thanks for your time, I really appreciate it. Price is less of a concern than suitability for purpose, though the boat may experience some rough treatment so I don't want anything too precious. I will have a place to store the boat at the lake, though I will have to trailer it there. Launching facilities are decent at the local marina. The lake is quite small. So it will be mostly daysailing. I might on occasion drive to another, slightly larger lake, and perhaps even a day or two on Lake Ontario. I have taken a look at the boats you have suggested. The Wayfarer seems like it might be a good fit, and I know there is a local association. I have actually seen one or two for sale locally! (The Flying Scot appeals to my romantic notions of sailing, but might be a bit big for my circumstances.) If you have any other ideas, I would love to have them. Best, Alex

Serah - you are the first female sailor that I have come across who is familiar with an Albacore. I am looking to buy one & live in the mid-west USA. I am relieved to hear that you don't think that they are unstable. I have done some research on them & this is the first time I had heard that complaint. Where would there be the largest concentration of Albacores potentially for sale? There seem to be a lot in Canada. Is there a particular manufacturer which is better than another? I have heard of Skene, Grampian, Whitby etc & looked on the Albacore USA website where are pictures. Where should I look online for boats for sale? Are there web sites selling boats in addition to Craig's List & Kijiji? Thanks!

Alabacore would be an excellent choice. Here is a link to their Canadian website - Canadian Albacore Association Home Page There you will find out the history (designed by Uffa Fox back in 1954) along with a listing of the countries where there are Albacore fleets. Over 8000 Albacores have been built, and it remains one of the best sailing dinghies ever designed. Not at all unstable, it makes an excellent beginners boat, as well as the best boat for a highly trained sailor to get a "rush" while planing during a race. Many sailing school instructors begin their training sessions by walking around an Albacore on the gunwales to demonstrate just how stable the boat is. As a former Canadian Albacore Association Commodore for 3 years (back in the '90's) I can assure you that you would always be thankful you chose to start in an Albacore. I owned Albacore #2723, and then #7944. From there I moved up to a C&C Shark 24, and now to a Grampian G-26. I have been very successful racing the Shark and the G-26. I give a good portion of the credit for winning my trophies and championships to the fact that learned to sail properly on an Albacore.  

15' albacore sailboat

I agree jimq26. The Albacore is a great boat. Like a Laser, they are easy to sail for a beginner but have enough trim and control capability that they are fun for the experts. And they are quick to boot. Back when I raced Lasers at the cottage, our fleet was split with equal numbers of Lasers and Albacores with the odd off-brand thrown in - Bombardier Invitation, Sunfish, Wayfarer, CL-16. A well sailed Albacore will ALWAYS beat a well sailed Laser.  

I learned to sail an Albacore as a kid. Compared to a Wayfarer or CL 16 they could be considered tender, however I think they have reasonable stability and defineately faster in light winds. The old grampians can be bought cheaply, but most of them have serious rot in the plywood transom. It's fixable, but not a project anyone would want to take on

Albacore insignia

Albacore is a 14 ′ 11 ″ / 4.6 m monohull sailboat designed by Greg Gregory and Uffa Fox and built by Russell Marine Ltd., Grampian Marine, Fairey Marine Ltd, Koma Boats Ltd., Gmach & Co. Ltd. (J. L. Gmach & Co.), Ovington Boats Ltd., Ontario Yachts, Lockley Newport Boats, Skene Boats Ltd., and O'Day Corp. starting in 1954.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

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

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

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

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

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

Displacement / Length Ratio

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

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

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 Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

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.

1970 Albacore 15

I bought this boat for $100 and decided to part it out rather than restore it. Here are photos of the boat right after I bought it.

15' albacore sailboat

The first Albacores were built 1955 in England of wood. The sail number shows that this boat was built in 1969 or 1970.

Although i could find no reference to albacore spinnakers, this boat had been fitted with one. i sold the mainsail, spinnaker and traveler for $200..
