[Public-List] 'Alberg 30' circumnavigators

[Glenn Brooks]

Hi George,

I've been very neglectful not to post some background info regarding Alberg 30 circumnavigators on your web site.  below is the basic information I've accumulated thus far.  May I ask if you could put it up on the web page and I will do my best to supplement with some additional info such as route, pictures etc?

Also I don't have the hull numbers or year built of all the boats  and have lost track of the spreadsheet that contains such things.  Maybe someone on the list can fill in some of the boat detail.  it would also be interesting to know where the boats are now...

Also, I would like to ask any on the list to please reply with any corrections or additions I may have missed.  

Thanks

> Four Alberg 30 owners have circumnavigated the globe since the Whidby boat yard produced the first hull.    Each circumnavigation was accomplished singlehanded, two completely by lone skippers, the other two singlehanded over at least three of the five oceans:  
> 
> Terrell Adkisson, 1975 -78 aboard Altair, home port Port Arthur, Texas
> 
> Yves  Gelanis, 1982 -83  aboard Jean Du Sud, hull # 399, home port, Ontario, Canada, via Cape Horn and the other great capes. creator of the Cap Horn windvane - Yves tested his cap horn prototype on his A30 during the voyage, and has made six oceans crossings in Jean du Sud since. 
> 
> Kirk Little,   2008 - 2012 , aboard Salsa, still cruising San Blas, Panama after crossing his outbound track near Colombia. Kirk maintains a blog named www.sailingsalsa.com that describes his experiences. 
> 
> Paul Vibert, 2011 -2013, aboard Rough Bounds, built 1962, hull #25, home port Thunder Bay, Ontario.  Paul was rolled and dismasted in heavy breaking seas in the Indian Ocean during his approach to Cape Town.  Like Yves, he erected a jury rig from remnants of his mast and rigging and sailed to the nearest island where he built a temporary mast from cast off materials and sailed on to Cape Town where he built a new mast to complete his voyage.  Paul's last leg was a 4500 NM non stop route from Cape Town to the Caribbean, then after a short refit, a final non stop leg to Ontario, Canada, arriving home in July, 2013.
