I think it about impossible to say anything more cogent on the subject.  
I would add that some in the Chesapeake belong to both Associations, and 
benefit immeasurably from the efforts of the members of both.  I am not 
sure that it is possible to have much more fun sailing than against our 
Canadian friends, on their own waters.  I found it, I must say, a 
wonderful experience in 2002, and look forward to it again in 2004.

You should join one or the other of the organizations simply because 
they are the single greatest strength and support of the boat that you 
sail and love. Join both the Chesapeake Bay Alberg 30 One Design 
Association and the Great Lakes Alberg Association if you can.  You will 
join families with common goals and common interests.  I can write 
without fear of contradiction that when you join, you will never, ever, 
regret your action.
