[Public-List] I'm Looking to buy Alberg 30!

[Gordon Laco via Public-List]

Good points Dave - 

I've noticed over the years that A30's seem to traffic at higher prices than
in the States even considering the exchange rate.

My guess has been that a higher percentage of our boats live their lives in
fresh water and that tends to age them more gently...  I was very interested
in seeing what trend your research has shown.

I don't think I've ever seen data on a one-design presented as so thorough a
snap shot of the current state of affairs.

So, for Canadian sellers, be sure to say what
