[Alberg30] Hull color

[Bill Blevins]

Welcome!

Until we bought "Sabrina", I've always been on white racing boats over the
years. EVERY TIME we'd pass a dark hull cruiser, someone on our white boat
would say, "Man, that's got to be hot in the summer".

Now that I have a BLACK A30, I have to say, I can't tell a difference.

Compared to some 30 footers, there's not a lot of freeboard on an A30. (We
still keep a DC fan and windsock aboard and try to use the sunshade across
the boom when anchored out on a hot day).
