Looking forward to seeing your progress in the future.

No Port LEFT in the bottle.. Greetings from Blighty!

If there is a sailing club near you it could be well worth seeing if anyone is looking for crew for a season, get a feel for sailing and whether you enjoy it.

A world cruiser! Just take one day/step at a time. Happy for you - Signed S/V Mistral (San Diego)

Man Alberg are great boats my dad sailed around the world in an alberg 30 In the 80s

I hope it takes you to beautiful places

Left is a four letter word. Port is a four letter word. Right is a longer word (as is starboard).

Yeeew!!! Adventure time holmes! I'll be watching you see...

Interesting, Great opportunity!

If you get the opportunity take a Coast Guard Coarse. It is well worth the time invested!!

Take a Basic Sailing Course in your area! Ask around the sailing clubs, they will happily point you in the right direction! I just signed up for one, so excited!

BOAT - Break Out Another Thousand

Nice

At least you got a bluewater sailboat and those have been around the world several times

The reality of the situation is that you may be better off to spent $5,000 on a working boat than to attempt to refubish a virtual derelict. Presently we have an Endeavor 32 in Milwaukee offered for $6,000. with a running diesel engine, roller fulling, etc. If I wasn't so geriatric, I'd be off to the East coast through the Erie Canal.

start small bro, and stay small for a good while.

30' Alberg Nice Sailboat ⛵⛵⛵⛵🌊🌊🌊🌊

Good luck, no fear, good vibes. I'm also looking for a free sailboat. I am from Portugal

The plugs drained!

What state are you in ,im in Maine and my boat will be finished by next spring . Maybe we can joust lol

make it water tight and safe and move into it and save up money from rent to fix it

Good you have cheap storage at your dad's place. A working inboard would be essential if you are learning to sail. Take your time to assess the condition of the balsa-cored deck before throwing too much effort and money in. If the deck is OK, the basics like the watertightness of the hull to deck joint, condition of throughulls, chainplates, condition of bulkhead tabbing to the hull (there has been water in the boat)and condition of the rudder (these can fail on the alberg 30) worth checking out before going anywhere near the water. engine and sterngear are more expensive undertakings once the basics of the hull and structure are ok. A wind scoop over the forehatch to suck hot air out will cool things off. Propane and gasoline both really dangerous in boats. Study up on what is required of those installations to minimize the chance of exploding the project and yourself. Don't rush into interior fitout either until you are satisfied that the bones really are good.

Don't walk away......RUN

Toss up as to whether he was refitting the engine but needed to move the boat so made it water-tight, or he was also planning an outboard but refitting the engine to sell on? This should be fun tho - you planning on showing this on twitch or keeping yt/twitch separate?

A couple of things; Pressurized alcohol stoves explode. Those are not really made anymore. Traditional alcohol stoves which use a canister system are fine for weekend sailing provided you understand the dangers of alcohol. They do make small gimballed stoves that utilize the small LPG cannisters and can cook one pot. Those are fine too. True LPG systems have regulations around their installation that really must be heeded for safety. LPG is heavier than air and thus can cause a boat to explode if not done properly. Alberg 30s are tanks. Slow and strong. I would check out Sail Life's You Tube channel as Mads is an expert at refits and resurrecting's boats. There probably is a way to switch to a outboard, but if you want to sail far you will need an engine wit plenty of fuel. When your boat was built, it was designed for the engine to be something to get you to and from the dock, not really crossing from Florida to the Bahamas if needed. A new and reliable engine will cost you, but I consider it essential safety equipment. First thing is to make the boat dry, Get a moisture meter, go to the boat in a heavy rain and look for leaks. Windows need butyl tape and/or silicone. It is one of the few places on the boat you want to use silicon. Lastly, if you want to learn sailing fast, racers always need deck monkey's and crew. Volunteer for Wed night beer can racing. It is a great way to learn as racers will push their boats and you will gain a quick understanding of how things work on a boat, what they are capable of, and prepare you for difficult conditions.

free is not necessarily god , before you sink money into it, do an real analyzes and compeer with other boats ready to sail. congratulations you got a plan , saludos

Dont want to scare you but just a mainsail for that boat will cost you about 3k. Jib will cost more. From what i can see, you'll be spending 30k for the refit if you have the proper knowledge to perform the work yourself.

You should put your camera on a tripod. Watching your clip made me seasick on my sofa. That never happened before.

Talk about luck...

havent done diddly squat and already asking for money, huh

Do you have a bottom less pit of money mate😂

Alcohol is one of then safest stoves you can have, propane can be very dangerous on a boat.
