[Alberg30] Hello

[Sommer, John]

My A30(Mandolaire #5) has been converted from tiller to wheel.  The wheel
takes up more room in the cockpit and doesn't give the same "feedback" a
tiller would.  On the plus side, it allows me to have an autohelm 4000
permenantly mounted and the wheel makes it easy to stand and steer (I have
to look over a dodger).

I agree with George in an earlier posting, it's just not worth it
financially to pay to retrofit a wheel to an A30.

I had my Alberg for some twenty years before I got my Whitby42 (Alberg with
a thyroid problem!).  It has a wheel with hydraulic steering.   I would
GLADLY trade that wheel for a tiller if it were feasible on the boat.  If
you are in doubt, try one of each and I think you too will be hooked on a
tiller.

         Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide

  My favorite Chesapeake Bay guidebook. While it mentions marinas,
  it concentrates on anchorages--the kind of places I prefer to spend
  my time. And in addition to listing shore facilities, it rates each
  location for Beauty/Interest and Protection. This is the guide you
  need to really cruise the Chesapeake Bay--a smorgasbord of small
  creeks and coves.
