[Public-list] Alberg 30

[Michael Connolly]

Paul,
You are welcome.  I thought that Florida was a long shot for you but one never knows.  Good luck with your hunt.  Both the Great Lakes and Chesapeake Albergers are super fine groups of sailing folks.
You are correct about gotta have an Alberg 30.  While looking for a boat it took us about a three days of looking at 40 or 50 boats to come to that conclusion.  That conclusion has been comfirmed over and over in my mind since my purchase in 2001.

Hi Michael;
Thanks for the Email & thank you very much for the offer of putting me up.
However, I think that this is a stretch for me at this time. I found a few
within 500 miles and I'm hoping to get info from the Chesapeake Bay area or
Toronto. It sounds like a nice boat though. I hope someone resurrects her.
They are too fine a boat to let die. I have read tons of stuff on Alberg 30,
Pearsons and Bristols and have decided I gotta have an Alberg 30. The newer
boats are either too tipsy or too pricey or both (usually both). I'm looking
at No 59 that is located in Newburyport, Mass that might do. Again, Thanks
for the info.

Paul

Paul,
How far are you willing to travel and how much work are you willing to do?
I have seen an Alberg 30 in Ft. Myers, Florida that needs a good home. It
has an Atomic 4 aboard and also comes with a spare engine. This boat has
much external Hurricane damage, but the hull and spars are OK. The rudder
also needs major work and is off the boat. If you might be interested I can
give you further information. It would be a major effort to move the boat
from Florida to Maine. Even if you did the repairs yourself I would
estimate that the boat would require about $1,500 invested before she would
be sail worthy to make that long a trip. I believe that the boat could be
purchased for about $3,000. She was built in 1966 and hull # is 177.

This boat is definitely a project boat, but is not past bringing back. I
would honestly consider buying the boat myself if I didn't already have so
many projects. If you get serious about this boat Lorrie and I can offer
you a place to stay in Ft. Myers while you look the boat over and dicker
with the current owner.

I am in the market for an Alberg 30 at less than $10,000. I am in Brunswick,
Maine and will travel. Must have an engine and be a pre-400 hull number
(without the liner).

Thanks
