Albin 27 Sport Cruiser
1985–1995
The Albin 27 Sport Cruiser is the open-cockpit derivative of the 27 Family Cruiser. It retains the solid-fiberglass semi-displacement hull, shallow draft, single-diesel economy and full-length keel, but replaces the aft sleeping cabin with a much larger working cockpit. The result favors fishing, diving and simple couple cruising over accommodation privacy.

Trade-offs
- Less sleeping privacy and capacity than the Family Cruiser
- Compact forward cabin and head
- Performance remains moderate rather than genuinely fast
- Older diesel installations and refits vary widely
Known concerns
- No model-specific concern has been promoted to B-Atlas’s evidence threshold. This does not mean the model has no age-, condition- or hull-specific risks.
Inspection focus
- Confirm engine installation and repower quality
- Inspect deck, cabin-top and window areas for moisture where cored
- Inspect fuel, exhaust, raw-water cooling, shaft and steering systems
- Review wiring, plumbing and owner modifications
