[Public-List] Alberg 30 circumnavigators list

[John Birch]

Thanks Glenn for the heads-up

Know this boat well, Rough Bounds, Alberg 30 hull #25. Good friends (Ron & 
Irmgart Cameron) owned her for decades and sold her to buy a bigger boat 
about 15 years ago.

Have a beautiful morning mist photo, taken by Irmgart from shore, of Rough 
Bounds & Sunstone at anchor on the North side of Camelot Island (1000 
Islands) in '92.

Raced against Rough Bounds for many years when we had our Alberg 30 back in 
the 80's until '91, then we sold to buy Sunstone (Alberg 37) in '92.

Ron & Irmgart sold about 3 years later to buy an Erikson 35 centreboarder 
for Bahamian cruising.

Rough Bounds is one of the oldest A-30's (1963), with masonite double cored 
decks - perfect for a global circumnavigation, built like a tank, but 
beautiful and sea kindly.

She is the 4th A-30 to circumnavigate the globe, 2 of the boats being sailed 
by Canadians.

Those Crazy Canucks eh ; )

God bless'em.

As you know, she was built, like all Alberg 30s & 37's, in Whitby Ontario.

Met Paul about 4-5 years ago at an Alberg Great Lakes Association dinner in 
Toronto.

Nice trip down memory lane.

Again, thank you

Kindest regards,

John
