[Alberg30] Alberg 30? or is it

[Ian MacIntosh]

Hello, Im not 100% sure my boat which has no identifying markings, is in 
fact an Alberg 30. It looks like one. The transom matches pictures I have 
seen, the keel and rudder look right, the cabin looks to be right and the 
cockpit is the same style. I havent measured it very accurately, I have a 
12" tape and I come close to 30" when I measure. I know the alberg is 
supposed to be 30'3". Now I will tell you some of the details. There is no 
core above the cabin, just fiberglass beams stretching the width of the 
cabin every 2' or so. The cabin top is about 1/2 inch of solid glass. The 
area below the mast step may be cored, Im not positive. The deck around the 
cabin is not cored at least where I have torn the inside paneling off and 
shone a light through the hull, I dont imagine light would shine through a 
core very well? There is no core in the cockpit. It appears that the tiller 
has been moved from the cockpit to behind the lazarette hatch. The rigging 
looks like other alberg pictures. Inside, most of the interior is not 
original, the setees may be original, both thin fiberglass. the bulkhead 
between the setees and the head and closet is 1" ply, glassed to the hull, 
the cap-shroud chainplates attatch to this with 1/4" bolts. Above this 
bulkhead is a beam glassed to support the mast. there is also a steel frame 
in the doorway, added by a preious owner. My ballast is glassed over, it 
begins below the mast, and ends at the rear of the setees, where it becomes 
a sump, probably down to the bottom the the keel. under the engine, there is 
about 18" of something, it appears to be glassed over. My companionway is 
off center towards starboard. The groove along the side (whatever you call 
that) starts about a foot aft of the bow. what do you all think?? thanks 
alot,
Ian MacIntosh
