[Alberg30] Keelbolts

[Lewdohn at aol.com]

None of the Alberg 30's had keelbolts. They all had internal ballast. The 
owner who replied that one, owned by a Canadian, had lead ballast was 
correct. I was the owner. At the time of ordering my boat I wrote to Carl 
Alberg and asked him for advice. He answered that he would recommend it and I 
would have a better boat. It cost me $80 extra. The builder, Kurt Hansen, 
after installing mine, said that he would not do any more as the  mould had 
to be shipped to a different foundry to be cast and it was too much of a 
hassle. The weight remained the same giving me a little more room under the 
cabin sole. The boat was # 78 with black hull, gold cove stripe, white boot 
top and green anti-fouling. I named her Caliban after the character in 
Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'
She won the Great Lakes Championship three years running. The last I heard of 
her was when she was shipped to San Francisco a number of years ago.
If there is any further information required, I will try to accommodate. 
Fair winds and a safe passage, Lew Dohn
