Why Isn’t Anyone Buying This? | A $25K Alberg 35 Bluewater Cruiser (We’d Sail Her Now)

Welcome back BoatFools Nation!

This week Canadian Ken and Tristram Coburn step aboard INDRA, a beautifully preserved 1962 Alberg 35 designed by legendary naval architect Carl Alberg — one of the most respected offshore cruising sailboats ever built.

So the obvious question becomes:

Why hasn’t this boat sold?

After walking through her condition, upgrades, and bones… honestly?

We’d sail her now.

Built by Pearson Yachts during the golden age of fiberglass construction, the Alberg 35 earned a worldwide reputation as a safe, capable offshore cruiser. Full keel stability, forgiving handling, and timeless lines have made these favorites among solo sailors, couples, and budget-minded bluewater dreamers for decades.

At an asking price of $25,000, this is the sort of boat that reminds us great sailing doesn’t require a six-figure budget.
