I read Finnish Vene-magazine '79, and I decided that this is the boat I want to have... Click more information: www.expresspurjehtijat.net I was reading the magazine, and suddenly I noticed that this is the boat I want. The year was 1979, I was 12 years and knew that the first choice is Swedishmade Albin Express. There was years passing by until 2000, when I investigated seven different Expresses in Helsinki, Tampere, Turku and Naantali before I found my own boat. S/y Adéle was sold by the owner nr #1, the Flight Captain Esko Huovio. The boat was in excellent shape.
