[Alberg30] Two questions

[Bill Blevins]

Thanks. On the J-boat we always had the guy working the mast run those from
his seat on cabin top for the trimmers. I'll probably do it the way you
suggest though. I need to go get longer lines I guess.

What about the PHRF crew size limit on the A30?

Bill
