[Alberg30] Re: [Alberg30] Displacement? and mast support?

[Gord Laco]

Hi,

I'm not aware of any lead ballasted Alberg 30's but for one.  Has anybody
else heard of one?  The designer
intended lead, but I do not think that any were shipped from the factory
that way (too bad).

The one that did have lead ballast was named "Herself" - we hated her
because of her stiffness and consequent abilty to carry sail in a blow.

that the ballast was changed to lead after the first few years of production
and that altered the displacement (from 8500 to 9000 lbs i think?) ... I was
wondering if anyone has ever had their boat weighed?  What did it weigh (and
what was it "supposed" to weigh based on the spec)?  Do you think the spec
accounts for engine weight or not?

the mast support.  While I noticed that the door to the V-berth was removed
(a cover up?!?! ;), I didn't think the mast support looked sagged.  Is there
some easy way to tell if the mast support is giving?  I've seen lots of
messages in the archives about retrofitting that support but am just
interested in identifying the problem first.
