<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>Welcome Bob. What is you hull #? You
say your boat is a 1978? The serial # on the stern or on the ID plate on
the bridge deck will give you hull # identification. Also, you need to talk to
George Dinwiddie <A
href="mailto:gdinwiddie@min.net">gdinwiddie@min.net</A> to join the
association [beat you to it George]. The A30 Association has been around for 36
years. It is the oldest One Design racing/cruising association on the Chesapeake
Bay. There are 250-260 members, some of whom have owned their boats for 35
years. Collectively this group knows everything there is to know about your
boat. The association publishes a 10 page newsletter each month (The
"Mainsheet") and a member handbook each year. We often have group purchases on
everything from hats to engines. Many years ago the Association published a
maintenance manual and a few years back George put out a revised version, which
I believe are all sold. This is a completely volunteer organization, brought
together by the love for the Alberg. Welcome</FONT></DIV>
