HISTORY OF CHANGES WITH PRESENT OWNER

The subject vessel was purchased by the present owner in 2006 and has had major upgrades up to his launch in 2010. Continual upgrades were made up to 2018. The vessel is comparable to a much newer sailboat as a result of this extensive work. The sailboat when out of water was standing on his 3 axels fifth wheel trailer and always stored in the garage in the off sailing season. Many more items being parts of this sailboat are not mentioned here. A visual view and inspection of this boat will give you the real feeling and assurance of a seaworthy boat.

Some additionnals informations down below were taken from the “ Sailing Magazine” about the Alberg 29

Some changes made by the present owner are written in Bold Letters and underlined

The Alberg 29 was designed by naval architect Carl Alberg and built by Nye Yachts in Canada from 1976 to 1985. The full-keel, masthead sloop was made to replace the much-admired Alberg 30.

Nye Yachts built 80 of the rugged sloops between 1976 and 1985.

The Alberg 29 has proved its mettle over the years. The boat has always exhibited bluewater capability.

First Impressions

Sailors fond of boats with graceful overhangs are often quick to recognize the work of Carl Alberg, and the Alberg 29 is no exception. It has all the features a sailor dreaming of coastal cruising or setting out on longer passages might want or need.

20 A masthead sloop, the boat looks graceful yet solid, and that’s precisely because it was built for sailing in heavy weather. It appears balanced, with two large portholes on each side of the cabin and three smaller portholes on each side of the coachroof. Wheel steering, sensible T-shaped cockpit, bow pulpit, sturdy double lifelines and plenty of grab rails on deck contribute to the boat’s overall sense of capability.

Construction

The Alberg 29 was built to exacting standards, and the hull, deck and interior exhibit master craftsmanship. The solid hull is hand-laid fiberglass mat and roving, the deck a sandwich of balsa wood between layers of fiberglass. The boat’s lead ballast is encapsulated. All fittings were replaced with SS by present owner.

On deck

The Alberg 29 is a masthead sloop with aluminum mast and boom. The T-shaped cockpit is roomy enough for four adults while the helmsman stands aft of the destroyer wheel.

Double lifelines top lifeline from stern to bow was changed to a solid 1” diameter SS tubing welded on top of stanchions posts and 2 stainless bow pulpit a 2nd pulpit was added to received the bowsprit. 1” SS tubing is replacing the wood handrails. The boat has a custom made SS deck bow that receive the windlass, chocks and cleats including the two pulpits. Cleats are changed to SS and chocks at the bow, amidship and stern are In anodized aluminum which incorporate the new anodized toerail. The mast and boom are extruded aluminum. The mast is stepped to the keel for strength.

All (6) winches were changed to SS Anderson winches. The boat has jib/ genoa track and fairleads.

The cockpit shape allows unhampered movement forward by the helmsman when single-handed sailing. The cockpit has large, self-bailing drains and seat locker storage.

Belowdecks The galley was laid out for safety. Four bronze-framed, fixed portlights were changed to aluninum-framed oversize portlights and six bronze-frame were covered with boat awlgrip silver paint , opening ports provide light and ventilation, as does a plexiglass opening hatch forward on the coachroof and a

21 solar vent was installed over the hatch plexiglass. The boat has no shortage of ventilation down below.

The cabin interior is teak and oak, with a teak-and-holly cabin sole.The forward cabin includes a V-berth for two adults, with shelves, drawers and storage in the forepeak. The cabin has a settee and a double berth. Headroom is 6 feet 2 inches. Some additions and modifications were made to the cabinetry

The galley has a stainless sink with freshwater pump (electric pump added), insulated icebox. There are lots of drawers, cupboards and a dish rack. The boat carries 30 gallons of fresh water.

The head is located to port with a counter sink to starboard, where it shares space with a hanging locker.

Engine

The original Alberg 29 was fitted with two-cylinder, 15-horsepower inboard Yanmar diesel with reduction gear, water-cooled exhaust, and control panel that is easily accessible from the helm. The engine compartment is large enough to allow servicing. The boat has a 12-gallon fuel tank who was replaced with a polyethylene plastic tank. The hull speed has been estimated at 6.3 knots.

Underway

The Alberg 29 owners’ association notes the standard design features “a shorter waterline and long counter, which adds speed in both light and heavy air.” The owners point out the full keel “provides tracking ability and comfort in a seaway, which few other designs can match.”

According to the 1980 sales brochure from Nye Yachts, the Alberg 29 “is a more modern hull with increased stiffness, resulting from firmer bilges, increased beam, and the fact that her fullness is further aft.”

Additionally, “a deeper draft and wider keel lowering the center of the lead ballast by several inches, along with the higher ballast-displacement ratio, contribute to the boat’s stability.”

Owners say the bow is finer than on other designs and the keel more cut away, reducing wetting surface. The beamier hull provides comfort in a seaway.

The Alberg 29 is a well-designed, strongly constructed cruising boat that’s rich in craftsmanship and known for its bluewater capabilities.

22 CONSTRUCTION QUALITY: The Alberg 29s were built by Nye Yachts in Canada. Robustly constructed, they featured hand-laid fiberglass matt and roving throughout the hull, with a laminate design. The mast and boom are extruded aluminum. The mast is stepped to the keel for strength.

USER-FRIENDLINESS: Wheel steering is standard, which many owners contend is a plus when sailing short-handed. The full-keel hull is designed for a comfortable ride with a shorter waterline and long counter adding speed in both light and heavy air.

SAFETY: Heavy-duty hardware and double lifelines, along with nonskid decks, add to the boat’s sense of topside safety.

Boat transformation and Upgrade: The main refit was made to this sailboat JEAN DIA from 2006 (year bought by present owner) to 2010 (year launched after main refit). Continuous maintenance and upgrade were done up to 2018
