Mark;

On behalf of the Great Lakes Alberg Association thank you for your
efforts, this is wonderful news.
I have forwarded the history of your search to our Senior Board Members
and Alberg owners so that your efforts are recognized.

You have done us all a great service, and may I wish you all the best.

If there is anything I can do to reciprocate, let me know.

Again, thank you and fair winds,

John Birch,
Past Commodore, Great Lakes Alberg Association

John:

Greetings again. I finally spoke with Bill Boyle of Boyle Boatworks and
your preliminary hunch that they had the molds has proved to be correct.
They  have the Alberg 30, the Alberg 37, and the Whitby 45 molds. Bill
Boyle's email is wboyle at aol.com and fax is 803.733.2984. Hope this helps
and good luck.

Boyle Boat Works, in Columbia SC.  Phone: 803-252-8210
address; PO  Drawer 50126, Columbia, SC 29250 is the last known address
for the Alberg molds.

If you have anymore information, I would appreciate it.

Thanks again,

According to a local broker here Whitby molds made it to Ft. Myers Ship
and
Yacht Building where they turned out Brewer 42 and 44s. Ft Myers Ship
and
Yacht went broke but you might find some answers at 941.332.7800. Joe
was
who I was referred to, though he wasn't in at the time and again brokers

seem pretty knowledgable in these areas if you can look one up down
there.
Additionally the broker I talked to here seemed to think that calling
Cape
Dory might be helpful in tracking down the Alberg molds. Anyway keep us
posted and good luck.

John:

We are not related to Boyle Boat Works. As to the fate of the Alberg 30
and
Alberg 37 molds, Whitby Boat Works of Ajax, Ontario, Canada was the
original
builder of the Alberg line. While my attempts in tracking down the molds
was
unsuccessful, you might have luck calling yacht brokers in the Ontario
area
who may know something of their whereabouts.. There are also a number of

Alberg web sites who could perhaps refer you to another source, as well
as a
number of Alberg boat owners who have left their reviews in our
BoatSource
section of SailNet:

Good luck with your search, and if you find the molds and revive the
line, I
’m interested.

Good luck and Good Sailing.
