With regret I have decided to sell our 1975 Alberg 30. It is
presently near Barrie Ontario Canada (outside of Toronto, ON Canada)
A 2014 Survey is available. The significant concerns, although really not
a problem, have been addressed. It was fully restored about 5 years ago
as the survey reflects. It has been owned by our family since 1975. It
has only sailed in fresh water on Lake Simcoe Ontario. The survey suggests
the market value to be $15,000.00.
the boat has both a small genny and a geno in good condition.. Self
furling jib. All sailboat related items are included.
We have been sailing the boat all summer. No significant work would be
required.
Please do not hesitate to contact me.
Survey attached.
