[Alberg30] capacity

[R.C. Alley]

We have friends who have a Bertram we are looking after while they are working in Hawaii.  After checking, they determined that (I forget which) either the cost of transportation or the cost of dockage was going to be too high in HI, and so left the boat in the Chesapeake.  I would guess that you could charter a lot in HI for the cost of transport and blue water insurance premiums.

  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,
