A Video for a Winter Sunday — Albin Nimbus 42 Sherry Dawn

sherrydawnHere on the west bank of the Hudson River, I spent most of the morning digging out from yesterday’s blizzard, which dumped around 30 inches of snow on us. So, it seems like a good time to think of sunshine and warm breezes. The video, after the page break, is of an Albin Nimbus 42, named Sherry Dawn. This summer I hope to be sailing a sister vessel named Arcturus. Right now Arcturus, ex-Obsession, is being worked on by the good folks at Deltaville Yachting Center, in eastern Virginia on the Chesapeake . In the meantime, I will just admire the lovely Sherry Dawn.

A Video for a Winter Sunday — Albin Nimbus 42 Sherry Dawn — 9 Comments

  1. Designed by the late, great Peter Norlin. A genius of a man and a great sailor.
    I raced in many of his designs in which we won many trophies. Well built and great sea boats.

  2. On a cold, snowy Monday morning, it was a joy to see that clip. Sail her sister in good health, Rick!

  3. Rick, correct, I was thinking of the Stratus and Cumulus, my brain is clouding over.

    Albin’s yachts were all under rated.

  4. Rick,
    I am very interested in the Nimbus 42
    I will probably have to be single-handing for awhile
    Would you say that is feasible with this particular boat?

  5. I am hoping to single-hand mine this summer. Everything runs aft from the mast to jam cleats, so that makes things a bit easier. There are six winches in the cockpit. It should be fine.
