> Ron & Irmgart sold about 3 years later to buy an Erikson 35 centreboarder

> Rough Bounds is one of the oldest A-30's (1963), with masonite double cored

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

> Those Crazy Canucks eh ; )

> God bless'em.

>>I was just reading the a30 page on the bluewater.org web site and saw 
>>someone post a message regarding a fourth Alberg 30 circumnavigation. 
>>Apparently Terrell Atkinson circumnavigated in 1971-75 aboard Altair, hull 
>>581.  Terrell's home port was Port Arthur, Texas.
>>
>> Anyone know the details of Terrill's voyage, or where Altair is currently 
>> berthed?
>>
>> BTW, also read that Paul Vibert has completed his solo circumnavigation 
>> aboard Rough Bounds hull no. 25, and has returned to his home port of 
>> miscue island New Brunswick on or around June 23, 2013. Like Yves, Paul 
>> was rolled and dismantled in the southern Ocean, although south of Cape 
>> Town rather than enroute to Cape Horn, and after jury  rigging a mast to 
>> return back to the Cape for a new mast did  an incredible 5000 mi nonstop 
>> direct route  to the Caribbean, thence returning in one more shot to 
>> Canada. Congratulations Paul!
>>
>> We now have four circumnavigations in the A30 community!
