WELCOME!!! To this full in-depth tour of my friends Huub's tiny sailboat. S/V "Limonada" is a 1971 Alberg 30. It's a slooped rigged, full keel monohull sailboat that's acquired a ton of character over the last half century! As well, this is Huub's humble home upon the sea.
Three years ago, Huub went to Guatemala, found this boat that was supposedly ready to sail. He fell in love with it a bit quickly. And then found out after he paid $18,000, it was more ready to sink than sail. But he did not quit!
After no shortage of blood, sweat & tears. His sheer grit & determination won through. Eventually he made this sailboat just ready enough to sail all the way out of Guatemala, to Jamaica, and throughout the Eastern Caribbean. Even though he has no life raft or emergency equipment. A testament to his conviction to become a true sailor. Something most could never do.
Huub has been a longtime content creator with his channel "Huub's Vlog" / @huubvlogs He's been traveling all over the world. But like anyone who takes to the sea like this. He quickly found out it's a different and difficult ball game out here. But through many trials and disasters. He's stuck with it and learned soo much along the way. So give his channel a look and see for yourself.
This is a very humble sailboat. Mainly due to it's size I don't think most people could live in it. But that is an upside I think. Because unlike most catamarans and other larger vessels. This sailboat is highly affordable and has an extremely low cost to maintain. Allowing Huub to be able to sail and cruise full time. Without worry of breaking the bank.

If you can, I'd really recommend checking out his Patreon page. He puts a ton of effort into his dedicated fan base. And I know he'd appracite your support.

Hello & welcome! I'm Daniel aka "Adventureman Dan." I've been living on the edge, from one adventure to another for the past nine years. Stating in Central California with my first GoPro, through SoCal, Baja, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Alaska and throughout the whole USA. But for the past five years on my sailboat "Adventureborne" I'm open to unlimited possibilities of where I can go, and what I can do!
#sailing #sailor #sailboat
Huub is such a great guy
Best comment right here!
gaaaaaaaaay
Nice review that kept me dreaming of my own boat one day hopefully
Glad to hear it. 🙏
Alberg 30 is legend, totally bulletproof. Check out sailing triteia for another, he's down in the south pacific now
For sure!
@@Adventureman_Dan Fiji to be exact. James (?) and Holly just did a live stream, 2023-05-17
Fascinating….
Just bought an alberg after saving money for 17 years of my army career. I paid under 10k for it and have plenty of money to refit. I’ve heard so many great things about these boats
He did lose his rudder though.
Excellent interview questions.
We love Huubs honesty & great smile!
Awww thanks Mom & Dad, love you & thinking about you. 😀
Thanks Dan! Great job! I love the video :)
Yeah buddy! Glad to link up with you man!
I get my boat on June 21st! 77 chrysler 27 I'm so excited and you 2 have played a huge roll in me getting a good idea of what I'm getting into...so I'm super excited to start my adventure and hopefully run into yall in the Caribbean some day!
That's great! I'm soo glad to hear that! Sail on! :)
❤I've recently been bitten by the sailing bug myself. Cannot wait to buy one. Making my plan now. Thx for the inspiration
Great video. You two have a nice banter going on. Good voyage. Greetings from Europe. Would love to be out there.
Hey thanks soo much. ☺️
I dreamt of sailing the world since I was 10 years old , finally I was ready to start searching for a boat then suddenly my dreams seemly ended , I fractured 3 vertebrae. Then I saw a home built sailboat a James Wharram design, suddenly dreams where full force with ideas of building one but then I ended up purchasing a 26 Pahi ! Dream on people, never give up !
Awesome, Mark! Love your attitude.
It’s definitely a solid hull, with the right maintenance it will last another 25-30 years. Great for long weekends or week long trips
For sure!
Or around the world.
Proudly built at Whitby Boat Works in Whitby Ontario Canada! 😊
Very nice layout in a 30 ft😊
Right!
I stepped out from a Columbia 7.6 m to an alberg Odyssey 30. I absolutely love it.
Nice!
I had a Columbia 8.7 for several years. I really liked the boat a lot.
@@williamdykes2750 My Columbia was the only boat I've ever owned that had a dry bilge. Great boat!
Mine too. I only sold it because I moved internationally. Thanks for the reply.
Good luck selling her Huub. I have the Cape Dory 32 Ketch. The windvane is awesome! Thick grip huh? 🙂
Ohhh yeah! Haha
$18K for a boat this solid isn't crazy at all. Maybe you could have negotiated the price down some, but if it came re-powered with that diesel (I'm pretty sure they all originally came with Atomic 4's) and the other gear you've shown us, I'd say that you have done well.
Spending $200K for a new Beneteau 30, now *that's* crazy. And ask yourself which boat you'd rather be in if you get caught out in a gale.
A boat is only worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it.
I agree, Buuuuut, if you are not in a hurry to buy you can shop. and by that I mean wait for the one. it will come and you will save enough to do whatever you want to it. I shopped for my first boat for 6-7 years and ended up paying 2000 for a 30' with a 27 hp diesel, $2000 Honda 10 hp outboard, and really good interior. needs 2 patches on the main and I got a new battery, but C'mon... I was rewarded for my patience. take as much time as it takes. Never impulse buy, wait for it!
I am agree,the price is about right,the boat was ready to go in the sea,certainly there are cheaper but usually you have to invest a lot of time,labour and money to make it sea worthy
my grandfather had an 79 Alberg 30. Great boat. When I was looking for a liveaboard it was an option but I ended up opting for an 83 C&C 32. Great boat heels hard in heavy wind so allot of fun to sail!
Nice!
Subbed after watching Huub’s video of your boat. He only gave you a score of 90% so these additional subscribers like me should make up the missing 10% 🤣
Hahaha I hope so!
Great video and interaction
Hey thanks Jeroen!
Looks pretty on the water, unlike a lot of the more modern sneaker sho style inspired vessels. Looks similar to the UK Westerly range from same period.
Good lord, Dan is rather brutal in his assessment of the boat. I’d like him to roast mine.
Hahaha, that's a cool idea, actually. Instead of roasting someone. Roast their boat! It'd be WAY more hurtful! 😄
brutal? to get the brutal truth about this wreck you only have the watch a few of Huub"s vids....about him "fixing" shit!
However..kudos to Huub for keeping this thing afloat all that time!
@@theovanveen5375while he is repairing things on his boat, cheer him on rather than leaving negative comments.
Nice lookin boat, you guys look great together.
Thanks 👍
These video tours are awesome. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
I always sleep like that too 🤣 can’t stand feeling trapped in opposite ways and head not facing the door !!!
Right!
Very good ⛵👍😊
Thanks.
I love the boat, the interview and the character who owns it. His boat looks like it's lived in and a very practical setup. Great stuff
Well said!
Dan, thank you for your most excellent & and informative videos about the various sail boats & the sailing life that I would like to learn. I was very impressed with your videos & the Benetau 40 CC from the Med. That one B/C of the most excellent kitchen layout & all the other ammenaties & innovations. I'm a retired ER Doc & musician and I did some sailing back in 1970 around Catalina Island when I was 17 and more recently in an 18' Prindle Catamaran from Punta Vedra & Jacksonville FL and in the lakes in Texas but I never had the chance to spend time with a great sailing mentor as crew where I could learn the practical details of weather & navigation instruments or how to record videos or edit them, etc. I've done a lot of schooling in medicine and I'm pretty good at repairing things that break. I would like to be a patron & crew with someone like you & learn everything you could teach me in 2 weeks or a month or more if the opportunity ever presented. Great job. Dave
Thanks Dave, let's chat on my Patreon page when you can.
I figured Huub would be looking to upgrade. Wonder what he'll get next? For him my best recommendation would be a Morgan 384.
That would be an upgrade.
i was thinking of starting out on a catalina 28 for my first sailboat.
That's a great boat to start on.
Go small, go now ❤
Exactly!
I have a Comfort 30 myself
Sailed a lot on Alberg 30's. Quite a few have circumnavigated, but it does need a couple of modifications, such as improved mast support. With attention, these boats can last forever.
They are solid boats.
I plan to get a first 27.7 when im able
@Adventureman Dan Love the fact that you describe the Dometic fridge as "really cool"
Oh it is!
Nice little boat, cheaper tham most motorhomes. :)
You got that right!
If you look up "atom Voyager" he puts outboards in a well in the back of Albert
30's... I did the same in Australia on a compass 29, No more stinking diesel in your living space, no more noise inside, a maintenance is so easy....look him up.
Cool.
You should try living in a Jeep off-road backcountry a 30 ft boat is like living in a massive RV to me. Great video definitely learning a lot watching you.
Build yourself a little outdoor camp spot,
I've done vanlife for year. It's good.
Many of the 45 -50 yr old boats are layed up thicker than the newer hulls. When oil prices shot up in the late 70's many manufacturers skimped on the hull thicknesses.
Why do you always compare to your boat? Not necessary at all!! Just review the boat and the owner as they are.
Its his style and variety matters else we'd all be as uniform and dull as you u
@@HikerBikerMoterjust cuz your mother is, don’t be a b!tch like her🤡
I grew up on this very model. Big memories. I STILL own the Avon and 1 hp Seagull engine. Both for sale, if you want.
There’s a good chance my old man honed the cylinder on that
Cool!
@@johngriffiths118 Hull 508. Sorry, the Alberg engine or the Seagull?
I had exactly the same model, bought it for 600 EUR, no mast, engine needed repairs, but for a short time it served as a shelter it was a great little boat. For solo sailing it is great but not really spacious. You can stand inside the galley though.
Very nice!
@@Adventureman_Dan check out my new beauty youtube.com/@SailingZeekamel
I love the way huub tells it as it is , I can read between the lines , this boat is a WORK BOAT. Epoxy the injectors?
Yes!
Is that the emergency tiller for when the wheel falls off?
It originally had a tiller. Someone changed it to wheel.
Probably. :)
Great, cheers.
Thank you! Cheers!
"Huub" what a funny, great name
Haha
Hey Huub,
I really enjoyed seeing the tour of your boat & hearing comments from you & your friend. Very helpful as I too have a 30ft boat. What is the brand of your refrigerator? I couldn’t quite pick up the name & I want refrigeration on my boat. As always, I really enjoy your videos! Do you think you will ever sail the coast of the USA?
R/Jim Grigsby
Virginia Beach
Cheers James. No idea and probably not again. :)
Not sure if I should replace the tiller with a rudder on my boat. I'd love the extra cockpit space, but not sure if it's worth it? What's huub's input?
Ask him! :)
Nice boat in heavy weather, although all the stuff he has installed counter the benefits, still will be a good little pod in harsh weather.
Bigger cabins are nice, but in a storm you've got all that leeboard exposed. What can you do...
He makes due with what he has. :)
@@Adventureman_Dan Yeah I know all the tech stuff is awesome but you lose out on the old school stuff. Personally I was a fan of Josh Slocum, really enjoyed the video.
Best wishes.
Wow Sailor ❤
Nice
Thanks!
We have a ‘65 Alberg 30! Number 56 in the series.
Nice!
Great vid. What boat do you own?
Check my own boat tour on this channel.
@@Adventureman_Dan Did after this comment. Turns out I watched it a while back. Thanks.
If it were 3ft longer it would be close to 1ft more forward of mast, 1ft longer salon, 1ft longer cockpit. Then it would be 1ft wider or 6"more each side. I'm not sure of the height ratio, maybe 3" taller.
I think that as well. :)
it's a boat, definitely, I agree 😂
Hahaha good!
Yes, doing dumb things every day is a part of life and a boat is a boat and if you have a boat, that’s a boat, then you know you’re on a boat
that is a nice boat. However, what I do not like about most 30 ft. sailboat interiors is that too much space is given to the salon and not enough to the head and hanging locker (or other storage) A live-aboard needs a more spacious head, and, perhaps, a larger galley. It does not need six foot berths in the salon.
Can always renovate.
My dotter is on a 33 f Mohegan and she loves it I am looking for one for my self.
Nice.
The guy laughing as he critiques his boat is hilarious
Hahaha
I'm trying to sell my house and plan to use half the money to go to flight school to be a commercial pilot (lost my I.T. job of 15 years due to a lay off) and I thought about using the other half to buy a sale boat to live on. However, I don't know if that would be better than an apartment in Florida. (Edit) I just saw I'd posted this a lot so I sound like a grumpy old man :P
Go for the sailing dream buddy!
Is that a boat? Yep, definitely a boat. Apparently.😜
Definitely a boat!
@@Adventureman_Dan Well that’s that all cleared up then.🤪
It's like van lifers. Those who by a custom build van for $150000.00 and those who buy a used van for $25000 and DIY the build.
#class #wealth #socialstatus
Did he spray paint his entire motor before this?
Maybe!
@Adventureman_Dan honestly it looks good lol
Well what do you know you have the same type of boat as sailing triteia the other TH-cam channel, Sailing Triteia , I'm gonna watch the rest of the video and see if I have anything else to say
Cool!
I'm out of the loop. Thick grip?
Edit: Never mind....pretty sure I got it lol.
: )
Boa noite amigo! Tire me uma dúvida esse veleiro lindo é chamado GOOSANDER do construtor C. J. Faggetter?
I dont know about that.
Hey buddy for the sake of us older people that havent the best hearing Loose the music
Will do. :)
I mean, to find a drifting boat where you can live in, that still more or less sails, at 17-20k usd, what can one say.
Yeah, pretty much.
A guy I follow on TH-cam is almost done with a complete circumnavigation in an Alberg 30.
Nice!
God will remember...
Unless she forgets.
Opinionated one upper.
.
Those holes in the bathroom door aren’t for your eyes 😅
Dude 3 years on a 22 foot westerly cirrus. At times very frustrating but set it up for success. Enclosed head, shower , laundry, 6 foot headroom, cat box sucks. Stove, oven, inboard 1 gm10 yanmar, better be a minimalist...
And good grab bars because hang on son you are about too go for a ride. Good thing about the cirrus it floats like a cork bad thing about the cirrus it floats like a cork...
Nice buddy.
☀️🌙✨
Cool 😎
But u can get a new 383 sailboat for 20K.
Maybe, but that would not have any of the needed extra equipment onboard.
Same boat as triteia
Nice!
"That's part of life", so fuck'n profound.
lol
You must have Said cool like 4000 times!!🤷♂️
Cool
4001 😎
Only Americans would call a thirty footer a small/tiny boat.
Most people who've been around ocean going sailboats would call 30' small.
Thicker helm and getting wetter on this boat eH? 😂
Yup.
I mean no offense, but I have to say this is some real old school sailing, but certainly not old enough to mean good school. Good school would be much simpler, much lighter, much shallower draft, more hulls, fewer complications, self built, easily repairable, less expensive to maintain, faster, more versatile, unsinkable, and way way way more elegant. Something much like my boat, for example.
Thanks for your comment!
Thanks 4 your Videos, I love your ship. You have nice methods how you keep the boat swimming, great .... keep it up! I´m a sailing musician, would be happy 4 your likes an Abos 2. You can find a *Band on Tour by Boat* Serie on my channel and lots of Music. I´ll be continuing this with my new Boat AVALON, a Commander 31* from Denmark. Your welcome, I´ll be watching you 2. Sail save, Fair winds, love
Cheers thanks buddy.
Might be worth $5,000 on a good day
It's hard to put a price on a home that's taken him thousands of nautical miles. :)
Better not to type when you don't know what you're talking about.
Mate 70 and eightys there was more 28 to 30 ft boats cruising.webb chiles 5 times circumnavigation on a more 24 .hes 70 odd .think you have lost sight of why you choose this life ,small boat big adventure s . how to sail ocean s has no engine.same size .go sailing now lol🎉
Right on.
Why do you not let people showcase their own boats. Every video you just compare to your boat. It's odd.
Hello my name is Remi.
Here is food for thought...
Why is it that you have to talk about what your boat has when doing a walk through on someone else's vessel?
A tad bit insulting.
Hope your ego issues resolve with time.
Dude sounds like a hater right out the gate
Hahaha
Is this only for gays like these guys or do straight people also do this?
lol, someone's jealous. 😄
Is being a shallow dick only for sister brothers or can other people be a dick too?
When you get to the island of Dominica you can contact me if you need a local guide and go on some adventures.
Owww I'll be going there very soon! Shoot me a message on my Insta or FB.
I have a westsail 32. Added watermaker and hydrovane and 900 watts of solar. It was totaled a month ago. A drunk POS t-boned it with a jet ski ND fortunately he died as it saved me from. Going to prison. I was anchor. Moving to the Philippine. Safer there as many here and 2 men here lost their houses to reparations.
Cool refits.
