LinGin is one of the most raced sailboats on the Chesapeake Bay. She’s been in my family since 1972 and has raced every year since then. With many High Point trophies to her name, she is fast and functional. It’s with mixed emotions that I put her up for sail, but there comes a time for such things.
While she may be old, she’s solid. She has a Universal diesel that is probably 25 years old and was put in by my grandfather. Still starts right up.
I took out the head and went with a portapotty many years ago.
I also removed the ice box that was leaking and rotted and now use a Yeti cooler for longer voyages.
She comes with some well used, but still functional sails.
I painted the interior in 2020 and the bottom in 2021. All the hatches to the interior doors are on board under the v-berth. I hadn’t decided if I wanted to refinish them when I did the interior.
There is an excellent group, the Chesapeake Bay Alberg 30 Association, that I highly recommend getting involved with if you purchase this boat. They have an active racing and cruising fleet and they can answer any and every question you might have about maintenance.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Similar to, and alleged predecessor to the ALBERG 30. Local to the SF Bay Area (USA). More information has been promised.
