official apparel store.
- Association supporters They support our Association. Please support them.
- A free knotmeter. Well, more precisely, it's
a chart that calculates the speed of an Alberg 30. If you throw one of those
stale saltine crackers that have been on the boat for three years off the bow
and time how long it takes to reach the stern, you can lookup on this chart
and determine the speed of the boat. Timing how long it takes to pass a
crab pot works just as well, if you've eaten all your saltines. I printed
a copy of this chart, folded it in half, trimmed it and laminated it for
durability on the boat.

This Old Boat
by Don Casey
Subtitled "turn a rundown fiberglass boat into a
first-class yacht on a shoestring budget," this book is the best
introduction I know boat maintenance for the new or prospective owner
of a "modern classic" sailboat. Starting with guidelines
for selecting a boat, Casey proceeds to fiberglass repairs, cabin and
deckwork, spars and rigging, boat equipment, woodwork, electrical,
plumbing, refrigeration, painting, canvas work and sails. All of this
is described in clear, simple terms perfect for the inexperienced.
This is the book that taught me fiberglass work. But don't let it
fool you; this book is appropriate for experienced boatowners, too.
I still refer to it.
