<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear List,<BR><BR>Can anybody tell me how many people are
allowed on an Alberg 30 per USCG regulations? I assume there is a limit, but I
don't have a placard on my boat. <BR><BR>I will be participating in the EYC
light parade tomorrow evening, and I need to make sure that I am not
overloaded. Can anybody give me a guideline on this?<BR><BR>Also, I found out
this past week that there is a very real possibility my company will be
sending me to work in Hawaii for 2 years. I would like to take <I>Calliope</I>
with me, and the only way I can see to do this is to have her shipped from
Annapolis to LA and sail from there. I can't devote the time to sailing the
whole way, and maintain aforementioned job at the same time. Has anybody done
the Pacific cup or Transpac race on an Alberg 30 recently? I would very much
like to meet with anybody in the annapolis area who has bluewater cruising
experience on an A30 and is interested in sharing ideas and suggestions with
me. I would also be interested in knowing if any of you folks who have got
trailers would be willing to consider chartering to me for trucking across
country. Further, anybody who is near Annapolis and would be willing to come
out to the boat with me and help me make a prioritized list of what I would
need to accomplish before I could safely compete in the Pacific Cup, I would
really really REALLY appreciate that. This will be a big undertaking for me,
and I could use some help in the planning phase to make sure that I do an
effective job of preparing and determining whether it's even realistic.
