Marjorie,
I noticed the url address for the web site I inserted in my
previous message to you got cut off into 2 lines once
sent and doesn't work if you just click on it. You can use
cut and paste to put both lines together as one in the address
field of your browser. Or do a search on the canadian
Alta Vista search engine for :

"Alberg 37" +"Tempus Fugit"

Tempus Fugit being the name of that A37.

Cheers,

>>Jackie,
>>
>>My husband, 2 cats and I cruised aboard our Alberg 30 for 9 months.  We
>>avoided winter by going to the Bahamas, so we did not address the
>>northern winters.  We will not take our Alberg 30 to the Bahamas again.
>>It sailed wonderfully, and handled everything thrown at it as well or
>>better than many other boats down there.  BUT, after enjoying it for
>>about 4 months, each day it got smaller and smaller.  Small space
>>related irritations became big when repeated again and again.  We did
>>not reach that point on our 3 months in Maine this summer.  We love the
>>Alberg design, and thus, we are looking for an Alberg 37.
>>
>>That said, I think that the Alberg 30 whould have been great for one
>>person on the 9 month's cruise that we made. It makes a great
>>singlehander's boat. On a limited cruise, one's "stuff" is elsewhere.
>>For full time liveaboard, in my opinion, an Alberg 30 is not big enough,
>>even for 1 person.  Where would you hang all your clothes, for example?
>>Where would you install a big enough heater?  Where would you put your
>>wet clothes when you came home?
>>
>>Of course, perhaps my comfort level is different than yours, as I do not
>>think that I would live aboard any sailboat in a northern winter.  We
>>have known several couples that tried living aboard sailboats in about
>>the 40' range in the Chesapeake area.  None did it for a second year.
>>Each couple complained about condensation making their cloths mold and
>>dripping on their heads, etc. The Alberg will give you the same
>>condensation problem as other sailboats. Our Alberg is a "new" one and
>>thus has a liner.  In theory, condensation is less than on those without
>>liners.  However, on our recent 3 month cruise to Maine, mildew was a
>>big problem.  When it rained or was foggy, the "dew" inside dripped.  We
>>used our kerocene heater to dry out the saloon, but the v-berth area
>>molded, and I had to clorox it several times.
>>
>>One couple used condensation in the "small" 39 footer's cabin while
>>living aboard in Baltimore as the reason for trading their boat with the
>>man in the next slip's boxy power boat after the first winter.  (Their
>>second reason was that their cat could not look out of the high windows
>>while they were away and was going crazy).  That solution did not suit
>>them either (the cat loved it), and one day after crawling down the dock
>>to their boat after work in the dark in an ice storm, they quit their
>>jobs and motored down to South Carolina where they have been working and
>>living aboard for several years.  As far as I am concerned, there is
>>only one way to handle a northern winter on a boat -- go south until it
>>gets warm.
>>
>>These are just my thoughts.  I am sure that others would disagree.
