Title: Blue Penguin for Sale
Post by: iceman on September 16, 2005, 06:50:58 PM
I just put a deposit a deposit on an Alberg 35 1961 vintage
Its a proven Bermuda 1/2 race boat

Its a larger version of Commander 264

I guess I gotta sail the oceans of the world

email me if anyone is interested in purchasing #264

I will not put it on ebay..boat is more worthy than that marketplace

It's more like you've outgrown us.  :(

At least you're still one of the Alberg faithful...

And you'd better post pictures of the new boat!

The A35 and A37 are a couple of dream boats for me.  Both have pretty good associations and web sites too.  In all honesty, their sites are nowhere as active or complete as this one. :D

If you don't post pictures here you certainly can send them to my e-mail box.

P.S.  I think you have to really pee in the pool to get kicked out

The big Ariel/Commander will have same issues as the 26 footer

Needless to say I read all technical bulletins post with our association

There will be room for everyone on the big boat so get out this way next year

Its not a done deal yet..

The A35 website is kinda dead so Ill just keep part of our group..Maybe we can have a satellite /org
