[Alberg30] Anyone out there have an Odyssey 30?

[George Dinwiddie]

Trey,

Congratulations on your new boat.  As to whether the Odyssey was the 
precursor to the Alberg 30 or not, I'm not sure.  As noted on 
http://alberg30.org/collaborate/moin.cgi/OdysseySailboat, your boat was 
built in 1966 according to Ben Wells.  I don't know when hulls #1 & #2 
were built, however.

Welcome to the list.  I'd certainly be interested in hearing more about 
the history of the Odyssey, as well as construction details.  I think 
there might be much to be learned by comparing the two designs.
