Hi Bob,

I believe Daniel's book will be a good resource and have already ordered it.
However, For some time I have been looking for information on Allan Nye
Scott, the builder of the Alberg 22 and 29 (*) and I wonder whether the book
would say something worth quoting about Allan or these other two
Canadian-made Albergs?

(*) I have every reason to believe Allan Nye Scott to have been the builder
of these two boats. However, the Alberg 30 page on Alberg's designs lists
"Ian Nye" as their builder. Perhaps Daniel's book could help to resolve this
apparent conflict?

Thanks,
-José-
