[Alberg30] Preparing to Buy

[Kevin Blanc]

I remember. I had a 10 month old daughter and a justifiably nervous 
wife. Now I have a 12 year old daughter that loves to skipper the boat 
and a 9 year old boy that first sailed at 3 months. Big decision. There 
wre times I regretted it, but never for very long, and only because I 
couldn't put in as much time and money as the boat deserved.

Buy an A30. Sail it. You'll love it. You'll love the people, the fleet, 
the Chesapeake, the whole experience (okay, windless August days do 
temper the experience a bit). I doubt there is another boating community 
like it anywhere.

By the way, if you're looking for a test drive, let us know.
