Alberg 30 'Dolce' For Sale - ready to go for 2014 SHTP- lying Seattle

Price reduced to $24,950 OBO!!

Alberg 30, hull number 318.

The boat was set up for the 2012 SHTP, but I ran out of wind off Cape Flattery then headed by southerly's enroute to the start line last June and couldn't make the race. So next summer I am sailing a 25' teak Vertue from Azores to UK, then cycling through Spain to Morocco and back to UK, and have decided to put the boat up for sale.

Rudder rebuilt 2008, with new 1" aluminum bronze rudder shaft. new bottom 2012 ( Interlux Trinadad 3 year hard antifouling paint). etc, etc, etc. Three New fresh water tanks! 52 gal total capacity. just refitted new holding tank and replaced all plumbing (March, 2013) The only thing the boat really needs is a new(er) SSB, although the existing M700 works fine.

Have lowered price to $24,950 or OBO. All offers considered. Basically the boat is in new, turn key condition.

Three boats in this class have completed single handed circumnavigations and many ocean crossings - Yves Galinas, creator of the Cap Horn Windvane, aboard Jean-du-Sud circa 1978 ( prototype vessel for which Yves developed the Windvane), Kirk Little, aboard Salsa, 2005- 2012, and Canadian Paul Vitton, aboard Rough Bounds, who is somewhere past Cape of Good Hope in the South Atlantic homeward bound to Montreal at the moment. Also there is a very active Alberg 30 listserve on the web whose participants provide a wealth of mutual email support for repair and maintenance issues...

This is a wonderful little vessel whose stewardship I would like to pass on to good hands.
