[Alberg30] Tiller Pilot

Thu Feb 14 13:44:00 PST 2002

Hi Scott-do you think that boom/windward block/wheel/leeward bungee/wheel
deal would work attached to corresponding rungs of a wheel on an Alberg 35??

We used to sail with friends Tom and Clara Church on their Alden schooner
Nor'Wester out of Port of Milwaukee, and made a run once to Racine...they
used to sail over to Holland, Michigan...Alberg 29's are indeed
beautiful!  George Kendall's Alberg 29, Liberty Call, is featured in some
black and white photos in my January 2002 article on Carl Alberg in Good
Old Boat...I researched Alberg and his boats for about three years for
the article...
