That's not an Alberg 30. For one thing, the cabin top is too high. And
the portlights are wrong for the Alberg. I don't know the sail insignia,
but it's not an Alberg 30. The Alberg 30 insignia looks like this:

But those shouldn't have spade rudders either, right? Registration calls it a 1967 "Jolly Roger". There are other boats from the same era that to my untrained eye look very similar, for example this Pearson Renegade:
