Expertly engineered in 1957, this Albatros Continental represents a unique intersection of aviation technology and marine performance. The hull is constructed from Duralumin, a material selected by its original designers for its ability to provide the durability of steel at a significantly reduced weight. Measuring 4.66 meters in length with a 1.7-meter beam, this aluminum runabout is built for agility and speed.
Propulsion is provided by a Coventry Climax FWE engine, a legendary powerplant from the UK. The current owner completed a full overhaul of this engine in 2020, ensuring the vessel maintains its impressive performance capabilities, with a cruising speed of 30 knots and a maximum speed of 38 knots. This boat has been preserved in excellent condition and has notably never been used in salt water.
Designed for versatility and ease of transport, the package includes a custom-built road trailer. Additional equipment includes new fenders and a new tonneau cover, readying the vessel for immediate use.
This classic vessel is currently located in the United Kingdom and is offered at 38.000 EUR with VAT paid. It is ideal for collectors or enthusiasts of vintage marine engineering who appreciate the craftsmanship of the 1950s aerospace influence in boat building.
