[Public-List] A new Alberg DIY project on Youtube

[Hugh McCormack]

As the person who posted the original message in this thread, please understand that whatever anyone wants to do with their boat is entirely up to them and is none of my business.  You are quite right that a "...mod might be your cup of tea or it might not...".  I have learned much from what has been posted here and I am happy to support what others do if I can with my limited knowledge and experience but I stand by my original comments with respect to this particular project.  I hope that he doesn't endanger himself or others with his planned modifications because, in my non-professional opinion and based on his explanation of the project, I believe he could be affecting the future stability and handling of the boat.  I am concerned that he is making plans and decisions without the appropriate knowledge and/or advice, hence my comments about being confused and slightly shaken.  I hope his video postings generate that helpful feedback which I believe he needs.

Regards,

Hugh

One of the great things about the Alberg 30 is how modifiable it is.  I
don't think I've been aboard a single one that looks the same, and that's
very cool.  A mod might be your cup of tea or it might not, but what makes
this email list awesome is all the helpful tips to those working on
projects from folks who have been sailing these boats for decades (or mere
days!)

We have some wonderful association members (including the owner of the
youtube channel linked in this thread) and others who are doing some
creative things to their Albergs and courageously documenting their
successes, failures, and experiments very publicly, and that's lucky for
us!  Let's remember to keep the content on this email list positive and
support our fellow Alberg 30 sailors who are trying something new.

Linking the Alberg 30 YouTube channels that I've had some fun watching.
Anyone know of others worth tuning into?
