[Public-List] Alberg 30 Trailer

[Hugh McCormack]

Good day Elyse,
 
If you go to the following link you will find pictures of a trailer built by Alan Slater an Alberg owner in BC.  The plans are available online too, but I am not sure where they are (I printed them off a while ago).  I hope this helps you.

Having made the trip from Sarnia to Woody Point last summer, I would definitely go downstream from Lac St-Louis rather than go upstream to Lake Ontario (no offense to anyone here that lives in Ontario!).  The most annoying and stressfull part of the voyage was negotiating through the Seaway channels in the presence of hordes of people similar to those you would otherwise find driving at 140+ kph on the highways.  It was bad enough going with the currents but I can't imagine trying to go against them.  Thankfully, these people don't exist downstream from Longueuil. 
 
Cheers,
 
Hugh McCormack
