Folks who appreciate classic small sailing vessels might be interested in seeing Mahseer's interior arrangements, particularly, some of the modifications that make her unique.
Great video you have improved on what I did originally. You have improved thing I wanted to do but my wife wanted to cruise to the Bahamas so reluctantly sold her for a larger boat. Look after her. John
Hi John, I had bought her from you originally a few years back, then sold her to a nice couple for a bigger boat, and bought her back last year. We love her very much.
Nicely done. Especially the V berth. I'm looking for a new boat and had pegged the size at something between a Southern Cross 31 and a Westsail 32, but..... I ran into a gorgeous Alberg 30 only 3 yrs out from a pretty much total refit at a reasonable price point. I'll probably be sailing her home next month. Cape Horn windvanes have been installed off center with good results. They talk about it on their website.
We used to own an Aloha 32 - much bigger boat - and find the diminutive Alberg 30 to nonetheless be a more functional and comfortable boat. That "pullman" style berth makes all the difference, and is much easier to get in and out of (at my age!) than those largish quarter berths in boats like Alohas and Nonsuches! Best wishes with yours!
We have a 1965 Alberg 30 and love the work that has been done with yours. One initiative we have been contemplating is a boarding ladder on the stern and a way to mount our solar panel. Presto, you have done this perfectly. I would love to know more about this. Do you still have the boat and are you still at Nepean Sailing Club?
Thank you. Yes, we still have her there. The chief advantage with the boarding ladder configuration with the split rail is that it makes it very easy to climb up and step onto the aft deck. A prime consideration is to make the gap wide enough to accommodate your hips.
@@jackrabbit5047 will keep that in mind. The support for the solar panel looks simple but sturdy. If you don’t mind I would appreciate looking at the set up sometime. We have had our boat in the North Channel for the last several years but plan on bringing her back to Lake Ontario next year.
Thank you for this. I'm about to have one transported to Arnprior (in the final steps of purchasing). I'd really appreciate a quick in-person tour of yours. Mine could use some inspiration :)
Not ideal, I know, but the bilge area is bone dry, and its been like this for at least 15 years without any issues at all. Not much room elsewhere to locate such a large battery bank, and it is good to have the weight down low.
Do you happen to recall what size and brand cold plate was used for the refrigerator? I have an Alberg 30 #449 and have added insulation to the icebox interior and would like to turn into refrigerator some day ...

I remember Mahseer when she belonged to John Boor. A great boat.

I live on an Alberg 30, not nearly so pristine as yours. I especially like the mast support modifications and may implement the same. Thanks.
That’s the nicest Albert I have seen in a while. 👍
That boat is beautiful.
Great tour. Thanks for sharing. The V-birth was a great upgrade to the old one.
Sure is - best berth in the club, LOL!

You can install a Hydrovane off to the side.
Very nice 👍👍🇺🇸

Sure weekdays work best -she's in the water at NSC until end of Oct
@@jackrabbit5047 Awesome, thanks. I'll try to give as much heads up as I can. NP if it doesn't work out, but really appreciated.
Never put batteries in the bilge where water can damage them.
Love the layout! I have a cape dory 30c.

Beatiful boat ! How long it is the V cabin ?
Thank you. Not sure, but I'm 6'3" and fit quite comfortably.

Alas, no, and she's all bundled for winter.
What brand solar controllers and monitors are you using?
I am interested to buy from you a sailboat ⛵️ and to sail alone to Cape Horn
They are excellent seakeeping boats and I highly recommend them, especially for singlehanders. Best wishes in your search.
If you love her why did you sell her in the first place ?
Ah, the vicissitudes of life, friend. But at least we have her back!
