[Public-list] Seafarer and Alberg Owners help identify this boat - link to photos

[Michael Connolly]

        Hello all,
   
  George Dinwiddie, the Web Master for the Alberg 30 site has graciously offered to help me with this project by producing a photo gallery on the Alberg 30 web site.  Seafarer folks......if you haven't visited the Alberg 30 web site you are in for a real treat, George has it chocked full of wonderful information.
   
  Anyway, I am trying to help out the owner of this boat.  He has finished the bottom, top sides and first coat on the deck.  The workmanship is good, but a move forces him to sell @ $1,500.00.
   
  All deck hardware is cast aluminum, so that might help date the boat.  I have searched the web and this boat is not a Coronado, Columbia, Cal, Contessa, or a 
Sea Sprite.  The owner thinks it might be a very early Catalina, but I don't believe that Catalina ever used Mahogany plywood for it's decks and coach.  My latest guess is Bristol.  I saw an ad for a Bristol 27 Weekender but in the photo could not see the cockpit layout.  As you can see from the photos the coach is hard edged and has quite a crown to it.
   
  All the interior has been stripped out and the rest of the boat is a project.  Owner has all the pieces as the boat was complete when he dissembled her. 
   
  My only interest is to help the current owner find a new home for all of his hard work on the boat so far.  The spars are aluminum and the boom has geared roller furling at the goose-neck with mainsheet attachment at the end of boom.

  Many thanks for your help and have fun trying to solve this puzzle.
