Alberg 30 Racing

Racing with the Alberg 30 Association is a friendly affair. Oh, to be sure, the die-hard racers are out there to win. But the cruisers are also out there, just to have a good time. In the process, they become better sailors. And they all, racers and cruisers, raft up together at the end of the day for a party. It's a family.

Do you want to do your first race? Well, there are two things that are essential:

1. Get a couple of "G" flags. You need to fly these, one on the bow pulpit and one on the backstay, to show that you're racing in the Alberg 30 class. (You shouldn't be flying any other flag or burgee when racing.)
   
2. Fill out an entry form and send it into the sponsoring yacht club for the race (with appropriate fees, specified in the Sailing Instructions).

If you have any questions, or need any information about a race, you can always contact the racing commodore

The class has rules on permitted sails. The definitive reference is the bylaws in the Handbook.
