[Alberg30] Finally sailed an A30

[Wally Moran]

Ok guys and dolls - Yesterday, I finally got out on an A30 for the 
first time, hull 334 which is now at Dutchman's Cove in 
Penetanguishene after having been refitted and repainted. She's 
lovely.
Laszlo took me out with a small craft warning up - we're both a bit 
gung ho it seems. Then - take the tiller he says, you want to see 
what she's like.
Well, I am impressed! What a lovely sweet sailing boat. We eventually 
had 20 gusting 25 and I got to sail her on every point of sail, plus 
with a single reef when the wind got up there. If I had to describe 
her motion through the water, I would call it regal, or stately, with 
a sense of power underneath it all.
Now I can understand why the A30 message board is always so 
enthusiastic, because as some of you know, I have been lurking here, 
sailing my Challenger 7.4 and enjoying the chat amongst the group.
Just my .02 worth...
