[Public-list] Potential new Alberg 30 owner

[C.B. Currier]

Do it!
Do it!
Do it!
Do it!

Be sure to join the association! Then purchase a copy of the repair
manual. It details everything you didn't need to know about an A30 but
were afraid to ask. If you still get stumped e-mail us! Simple as that. If
you get stuck, sail home. If you can't sail home, be sure you have a
dingy, inflatable or hard with atleast a 3.5 hp motor to either tow you or
to get you off the boat for a sanity check. An inflatable motor stores
nicely in a cockpit locker & the the inflatable otherside or up on the
deck or behind the boat.

That should be it. Get the boat. You never look back!
