PS One of the two main reasons I considered buying an A30 was the reasons 
stated by Taylor Echlin; the second reason was "its a damn good boat"

> 
>  - The Chesapeake Bay Alberg 30 Association
> 
>  - the Great Lakes Alberg Association

> Now I've sailed all my life.  I race on a J-24 and a C&C 36.  I owned a C&C

> I raced on an Alberg 30 in the 1970s - as had many of my friends - so I was

> Not all boats stand the test of time however.

> 
>  - loved discussing their boats

> There was so much more information available on the Alberg 30 through
> <www.alberg30.org> and the Mail List - than for any other class of boat -
> that the decision to buy an Alberg 30 became very easy.
> 
> I knew there were these 2 great sources - for information, and useful ideas,
> and helpful suggestions about my boat.

> So I just wanted to add these comments to the mix.  It's nice having the one

> Thank you George.  I don't want to see a split in the web site as a source.
> And I sure want you to continue your efforts on our behalf.

> Many thanks.
