What this video covers
A 1971 Alberg 30, a full-keel monohull with a 4.5-foot draft, serves as a full-time liveaboard vessel.0:03 The boat maintains an average speed of 4.5 to 5 knots and features 900 watts of solar power, a wind vane, and a manual windlass.0:18 The cockpit layout includes a helm, mainsheet controls, and significant dry storage, though the high-mounted solar arch can hinder upwind performance.0:59 Below deck, the salon offers two berths and a Dometic fridge, though the four-burner stove lacks gimbals.4:45 The vessel’s small size allows for lower marina fees and potential trailering, but it experiences significant spray during passages and limited interior space for two people.11:56 During a recent offshore passage from Puerto Rico toward Grenada, the engine failed and the hull began taking on water at a rate of two buckets every one to two hours, requiring a tow into Grenada by other cruisers.20:00 Future upgrades under consideration include a Starlink system for improved connectivity.16:21
