Carl Alberg's Yacht Designs


Carl Alberg, of course, started out designing wooden boats, but he was a pioneer in the design of fiberglass sailboats. This list contains all the production fiberglass designs of which I'm aware.

This list is obviously incomplete. Please let me know of any updates, additions or corrections.

There are other boats that people think were designed by Carl Alberg or that people who like Alberg designs also like.

Also, be wary about these figures, especially displacement. The design figure, the as-built figure and the current figure may well be quite different.
