Competition Albacore

HAPCO Marine presents the ultimate racing Albacore. We start with a brand new Ontario Yachts foam core hull, constructed to HAPCO specifications for weight, construction materials and techniques. Each bare hull will be inspected by HAPCO, and fitted with foils, spars, controls, and rigging developed and refined over the past decade of Albacore racing. The HAPCO Albacore will feature low-friction cascaded controls employing ultra high strength / low stretch line and shock cord take-ups. Each boat will be set up and tuned to proven race winning settings and ready to win any regatta. Top quality fittings, line, and attention to detail you will not find anywhere else. Trailers, covers, compass and competition sails from either North or Sobstad are available but not included in price.
