[Alberg30] Re: Carl Alberg Design Novice Kit

[George Dinwiddie]

The figures I have are 22'5" LOA for the Typhoon Senior and 23'7" for the
Kittiwake.  Assuming that the measurements I've been given are correct,
it doesn't sound like the same boat.  I'm trying to get some photos to
help the identification.
