[alberg30] White Squall

[Marianne King-Wilson]

Hi, Dick!
We've had a couple of white squall experiences in Georgian Bay; very hairy.
We asked our late friend Bill Beatty (Kaila #266), whose enthusiasm for the
A-30 had led to our purchase,  what the maximum heel was, and he said,
calmly,  "90 degrees".  He had two knockdowns on the Atlantic, with his wife
and 2-year-old son and 2-month-old daughter aboard.   I feel certain that
more than wind alone was responsible for the knockdown, of course.  The
beauty of the Alberg was that she righted herself immediately and he felt
completely secure and confident.
I look forward to hearing more stories.
