Gosh, What a sad day indeed. Good for you from salvaging items to possibly  help Alberg owners needs in the future. Michael #133

It was a sad day last week when I visited an Alberg that is destined for the scrap pile. She is Stranger #135 and was too far gone for restoration. Many of the parts were already removed like the mast and boom, window frames, etc. I decided that there were a few pieces that are custom pieces built for the Alberg that should be preserved so I removed them. One was the stem head fitting. I was too much work to remove all of the bolts and pry the fitting off especially since it was late in the evening and I only had about 30 minutes of day light left...so I cut the fitting (and bow) off with a sawzall. It broke my heart to do this, but it really shows how well the boat is made. The caption on the photo should read “you don’t want to get hit by an Alberg”!
