In 2015 I purchased a 1973 Alberg 37 MK2 Sailboat. At the time I still owned a 1966 Tartan 27 and really liked it. The Tartan was also a project but at this time besides a few more cosmetic conditions absolute seaworthy. But the deal I got on the Alberg was just too good to pass up. And besides, I always wanted to have a Carl Alberg designed boat. Off course the boat was in very neglected condition. It sat for 10 years in a boat storage yard in South Florida. The boat changed ownership a few times as it just sat there and some things ended up missing, like the sails and interior items. The engine was locked up. Yet for the price of $ 2500 it was still a steal. I was very eager to get it on the water and to my Marina in Hudson, FL. The boat yard also provided a DIY section where I got the boat ready to be at least somewhat seaworthy to make the 250 mile trip to Hudson. I had a friend come all the way to the boat yard with my Tartan and he then towed my to Hudson. A 4 day fun trip, LOL
