[Public-list] Alberg 30 sail choice

I forget the name of the town, but my wife and I lived in the little municipal 
marina above Port Aransas for a couple years on our Alberg-right under the 
flight path of the county airport (lots of DC 3's late at night for some 
reason, at the time)

Anyway, I don't have furling on the head stay, but I had a working jib made by 
Lord sails in Corpus. That was our primary headsail in the Gulf. I would think 
the 110% in those steady 20 knot winds would keep the family happy. We single 
and double reefed the main quite often also. Comfortable sailing when the wind 
is blowing 30 across the deck, except for the wicked chop.

On the other hand, it is nice to have the power of a larger sail available on 
the 'nice' sailing days

Hope this helps

Lord built that sail way more inexpensive than any other quote, BTW. I hope 
they are still in business.  MG
