[Public-List] Is this an Alberg 30?

[Marianne King-Wilson]

 These links might help, concerning a California boatbuilder who moved to Florida. 
 The company was called Windward Yachts, and they built several models including a 'Jolly Roger 30' before going out of business.
A family member has described some of the company history--her father was the boatbuilder.

And a potential buyer has found a former owner of a 'Jolly Roger 30' with fond memories at this site.

Hope this helps, Jeff!
