Greetings, Sam,
    
    You've done more than your homework-- Just do it.  Make the offer and
get going.  I think it unlikely that you'll be sorry, even if this
particular boat doesn't come through.

    Tritons are great, too, though they seem less common than A-30s around
here (Seattle).  Either is a super vessel and you'll get plenty of free
advice from either of the mailing lists.

Bon Chance,

Hi All,

First a little introduction. My name Sam Stone and I live, for the
moment, in Austin, Texas. I have been thinking about buying a sailboat
for some time now. I have done some sailing, mostly making offshore
deliveries. I have subscribed and lurked on this list for a couple years
now. Below is a copy of a post I made to sailnet.com recently that does
a pretty good job of describing where my thinking is on potentially
becoming a new Alberger. For what is worth, most of those who responded
to the inquiry thought that the A30 was the best of the three.

snip ------------

I am for the first time seriously thinking about buying my own boat. In
the past I have satisfied my sailing itch by sailing others boats ...
that is beginning to change. I have very little money for the initial
purchase ... at the most $20,000 ... less that $15,000 would even better.

Etc....
