Laurent Giles Sloop

The distinctive and stylish hand of Jack Laurent Giles’s design is easily recognised in ALBACORE. With only 2 owners since her launch her versatility has been demonstrated as an amazingly effective race boat in her early years; winning all the important races in Portugal. In her second career she has been equally successful as a family cruising yacht sailing longer distances, notably to the Caribbean and South America. Long ownerships normally bring rewards and ALBACORE’s owner has indulged her in several major refits, changing her deck, rig and electronics, fully in character to ensure she remains such a useful family yacht.
