[Alberg30] The "look"

[Mary & Bill Mahony]

Bill, you're absolutely right about the comments the A30's line elicit.
When we first got our boat down here, she was looking a little rough...up on
jacks, bottom paint sanded, thru-hulls removed, brightwork chipped and bare,
it's the middle of summer, we're down below hauling bags of "stuff" the
previous owners left us out, hot, sweaty and to be honest, probably
wondering what we were thinking!  On one such trash run, I come down the
ladder and there's  a couple just standing and staring at her...all of a
sudden I notices a cool breeze, my posture straightened, chest stuck out,
and all the doubts swept away--the proud papa! ;-).

Bill

Fair winds,
Bill
