[Alberg30] More Drastic Changes

[Dave Terrell]

Up in Grand Traverse Bay, that is very short water. We tack immediately
when we see numbers like that. Those numbers also mean that the shore is
very very close because of the way the bottom comes up. I suspect it
would take some adaptation to sail where so many of your sail.

Actually Rob, the average depth of the Chesapeake is 13'.

  Well, it isn't all deeper.  Most of the Chesapeake is about 18 inches

  deep.  Being an estuary about 200 miles long with several thousand
miles 
  of coastline (if you add up the length of the banks of all the rivers

  and large creeks) there is an awful lot of it where Albergs can't go.
 
  That makes the perfect Chesapeake boat a flat bottomed shoal draft
sloop 
  or yawl with a centerboard--like, strangely enough, a skipjack or one
of 
  its bigger cousins.  I know where there are some recent tree falls
that 
  are big enough to build a good sized boat.......thanks to Isabel. 
But, 
  since I already have the Alberg,  I .........
