1998 Albin 28 Tournament Express

The Albin 28 Tournament Express combines classic Downeast styling with practical coastal cruising capability. This 1998 example features a single 300 hp Penninsular diesel engine delivering an efficient cruise at 15 knots with a top speed of 20 knots. The 28-foot hull spans a 10-foot beam and is built from fiberglass, offering a stable platform and excellent sightlines from the helm.

The deck layout prioritizes working comfort, with wide side decks and a secure cockpit that simplify line handling and maneuvering. A bow thruster enhances docking capability. The design suits both cruising and light fishing work.

Below deck, the single cabin is arranged around a convertible dinette, functional galley, and enclosed head. The layout accommodates weekend trips or longer coastal passages without unnecessary complexity. Systems are straightforward and maintainable—characteristic of the 28 TE's appeal as an unpretentious working cruiser.
