Just picked up a new project boat, an Alberg 22.  Little sister to the Alberg 30 I used to have.  Very solid, no soft spots at all, but in need of, shall we say, "visual upgrading"... one of the POs painted her topsides with who knows what kind of paint (drips, runs and all) and what must have been a cheap chip brush that left half its bristles behind in the paint.  She's got alot of potential though, and came with a new set of tanbark sails and a dual axle trailer in the deal  Grin  Here we go again...

Sweet.  Smiley

Congrats.

Seems like a great size and setup with the tandem trailer. Small enough that you don't need a big tow vehicle, and can launch/haul/rig on your own--yet a large (and conservatively designed) enough to be quite seaworthy.

Handsome little lady, that!

Of course, as the owner of a small Alberg-designed boat (Cape Dory 25D), I'm hardly objective.

She should do beautifully.

That is a loverly boat. I want one. I'm looking for an Alberg 22 in which to sail the singlehanded transpac from San Francisco to Hawaii in 2014. From where do you hail, and how can I find Ariel's little sister without traveling to Canada? Regards, Jackie in California

Hi, thank you for your response! Yes, I saw that Alberg 22, and it looks very appealing. I think I should sail a Alberg 22 before driving across the country. Call me wild and crazy. There are indeed lots of Albergs out here - larger ones. There are LOTS of boats here in the SF area. I guess I just have to be patient. Jackie jsphilpott@yahoo.com

Slow but steady.  After many hours of sanding, the nasty blue house paint is gone...  and as an added bonus, I discovered a boot stripe molded into the original gelcoat.  That'll save much time in taping the waterline when we get to painting!

I'm zeroing in on an A22 myself. It sounds like you have plenty of experience, but I thought I'd mention an A22 group I joined that has been extremely helpful: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Alberg22/ in case you don't know about it yet.

I recommend this group also to philpott. I've run across her Ariel search thread on the Pearson Ariel site. I posted a "looking for an Alberg22" request in the Alberg 22 group and got several good leads in my area--the Great Lakes.

Have sanded the topsides gelcoat all the way down to 320 grit, with a couple solvent washes and a good fresh water scrubbing to top it off.  Aiming somewhere between workboat and yacht finish.  Hopefully after the weekend it'll be a final solvent wash and then primer...

Looks great. And not just because it is an Alberg.
