[Alberg30] Any ideas on a A-30 Trailer?

[Scott Wallace]

Mike at TRIAD trailers in New Milford Connecticut can't be beat!  I bought a 1963
Pearson Electra, the predecessor of the popular Ensign daysailor.  The Eletra
looks a bit like a scaled down Pearson Vanguard or Triton, a natural observation
since Alberg designed all four boats!  (Electra, Ensign, Vanguard and Triton).  I
needed a trailer and gave up on used ones.  For about $3,000 I got a beautiful
and superbly made trailer!  It was custom designed for the the Electra since
Mike's father founded the company back in the late 1950's and has blueprint specs
and some drawings on almost any Classic Plastic boat you could imagine!  I drove
to the small factory to pick up my new trailer and was extremely impressed with
Mike and his team!  They deserve a lot of credit to produce a safe, easy to
launch and retrieve (float off) or carrier trailer for lifting off.  When the
yard in Cleveland dropped Spindrift down onto her new trailer she fit like a
glove.  We had a safe and uneventful trip back to Cincinnati and a smooth trailer
launch in a local lake...

Now I can just imagine a svelt Alberg 30 tooling down the expressway while riding
a battleship gray TRIAD Trailer!
