[Alberg30] capacity

[J Bergquist]

Dear List,

Can anybody tell me how many people are allowed on an Alberg 30 per USCG 
regulations? I assume there is a limit, but I don't have a placard on my 
boat.

I will be participating in the EYC light parade tomorrow evening, and I 
need to make sure that I am not overloaded. Can anybody give me a 
guideline on this?

Also, I found out this past week that there is a very real possibility 
my company will be sending me to work in Hawaii for 2 years. I would 
like to take Calliope with me, and the only way I can see to do this is 
to have her shipped from Annapolis to LA and sail from there. I can't 
devote the time to sailing the whole way, and maintain aforementioned 
job at the same time. Has anybody done the Pacific cup or Transpac race 
on an Alberg 30 recently? I would very much like to meet with anybody in 
the annapolis area who has bluewater cruising experience on an A30 and 
is interested in sharing ideas and suggestions with me. I would also be 
interested in knowing if any of you folks who have got trailers would be 
willing to consider chartering to me for trucking across country. 
Further, anybody who is near Annapolis and would be willing to come out 
to the boat with me and help me make a prioritized list of what I would 
need to accomplish before I could safely compete in the Pacific Cup, I 
would really really REALLY appreciate that. This will be a big 
undertaking for me, and I could use some help in the planning phase to 
make sure that I do an effective job of preparing and determining 
whether it's even realistic.

In order to keep list traffic down, if you have comments or responses 
which will be directed to me only, please use my individual e-mail address:

Y'all are the best,

J Bergquist
