[Public-list] Alberg 30 Histories

[Jack Vanderloo]

Ahoy Bob,
Here's one to add to the list - a chap I met about 10 years ago who 
owned Alberg KC1 - Opus! His name is Lloyd Danford and he sailed/sails? 
out of the Belleville area of Lake Ontario. He was not the first owner, 
but had quite a few adventures in her.
