Albin Stratus - Vita Brevis

Albin Stratus - Vita Brevis - 1978 – 1987
The name “Vita Brevis” means in latin Short Life.
Not that the life of the boat should be short but the
full expression is Ars longa, vita brevis – the
(sailing) art lasts for ever but a boat is just a part
of the endless sailing. The name could also be
pronounced in most languague without problems.
We have also strived to have the colour of the hull
in the name; Blå Blomman (Blue Flower), Dame
Blance (White Lady) and now Vita Brevis where
“Vita” in Swedish means just white.
We where early out shen Peter Norlin had
constructed a ¾ tonner called Stratus and with
some friends we bought seven boats and
participated in the devlopment of the boat and the
One Class Rule for fair raising.
We raised her and we cruised with her. In Sweden,
Finland, Denmark and Norway. She was a lovely
boat to sail.
She was delivered with the interior to be fitted by the
buyer. We had to compleate her but we hired some boat
builders to do a professional job – which they did.
A lovely
lively boat
to
sail!
In 1987 she
was sold to
Finland and
in 2010 she
still sails
there. She
has the
same name
but a
different
type face
and new
colour on
the hull.
30 years young
locking better than ever!
Albin Stratus was constructed by Peter NORLING and produced by Albin Marin. Between 1978 – 1984
