[alberg30] small traditional day cruiser

[Arthur D. Chotin]

I couldn't agree more about the virtues of the Sea Sprite 23. We owned the
cruising model until we got our A30. We day sailed in it, cruised in it and
participated successfully in a number of races against larger boats which did not
know they were being raced against :).

It is comfortable in the cockpit, adequate below, incredibly steady, and had the
dryest bilge I ever saw. Only once in three years did we need to pump out because
of unintentional water.
