Albin 49 Trawler

1982 Albin 49 Trawler – Eclipse.  Scandinavian Design • Taiwanese Craftsmanship • Proven Bluewater Trawler

“Eclipse” is a classic 49’ Albin Trawler, admired for her timeless lines, solid construction, and inviting layout that made Albin one of the most respected names in trawler design.

She has served as a comfortable liveaboard for her current owner over the past eight years and is now ready for someone with the vision to restore or refit her into a capable cruiser or elegant floating home.

Sold as is, where is: Project Boat 

Her twin Ford Lehman 120hp diesels, with only around 800 hours, are legendary for their reliability and endurance — a significant value in themselves. (Note: port engine requires a new starter.) 

Interior & Layout

Inside, her classic teak parquet floors and Corinthian marble sinks in both heads highlight her original craftsmanship.

A spacious galley with generous light and storage provides the perfect foundation for a comfortable liveaboard setup, while her expansive upper deck invites easy entertaining or relaxation at anchor.

Currently hauled out on the hard, the hull, running gear, propellers, and thru-hulls are all fully accessible for inspection or immediate project work. It’s the ideal time and setting for the next owner to begin her transformation.
