Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Albin 27

 

As The owner of an Alberg 30 that is about to have an electric motor before next spring launch.. This boat sails too sweet to be anything else.Halifax NS to Georgetown SC with no working motor including sailing in and out of lake Tashmoo in Marthas Vineyard.   By the way you need 5ft 6 ins. Been across the Atlantic and plan to go again. The electric will be doing the job the old diesel used to only better Richard Couldn't help commenting when the A30 got mentioned --- On Mon, 11/29/10, Bill Spires <spiresac@yahoo.com> wrote: From: Bill Spires <spiresac@yahoo.com> Subject: Re: [Electric Boats] Re: Converting an Albin 27 To: electricboats@yahoogroups.com Received: Monday, November 29, 2010, 5:05 PM   I am all in favor of converting sailboats to electric and looked at an Alberg 30 myself.  I quickly realized that it would be too large and needs about 6 ft of water for the keel.  I also found out there are several very active fleets for these boats and many sailors still using them for long voyages.  I feel that to convert one for electric would remove one more Alberg 30 from the remaining possible fleet group and would ask that another boat be considered.  Of course if it's about to be chopped up and become landfill material a conversion would be better.   Capt.
