Warning...this is a large (over 6 MB) PDF, but WELL worth the read...perhaps a must-read for Alberg fans (the boats and the man).

Love at First Sight: Adventures in Fortitude by Leonard G. Kavanagh.

An excerpt from the opening page:

Quote

She is the original Alberg 30, built to the exact specifications of Carl Alberg by the crew
under his watchful eye at the Graves Lower Yard in Marblehead Massachusetts in 1959.
Cedar over oak, 41 ft boxed spruce mast, fractional rig, 3000 pounds cast iron keel. She
was built at the same place Ted Hood once hung around as a boy, sweeping floors and
doing odd jobs just to earn a spot and learn, a shop down the road from L Francis
Herreshoff's castle.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -Mark Twain
