1977 Alberg 30, Hull #614
Sailing is something interesting as it combines a challenging activity with great exercise in the outdoors. As an older adult now, it's an enjoyable sport and you can spend a little or alot. My vessel is called an Alberg 30. She's already 45 years old, reconditioned by me, and getting ready to for a new set of sails.
This is not a monetized page, just posts of the updates on s/v Nautica #614 and her ongoing sailing and maintenance. It can be of assistance to new Alberg 30 Skippers. I encourage the reader to see those sailors as they are several of my favorites! Stay positive, encourage, and be nice, these things go a long way in life! I'm not a videographer or film maker so enjoy the videos as best you can!
Have been living partly in Italy and partly in South Carolina. We are returning to the States and to actively sailing S/V Nautica so stand by for more content in the weeks ahead. A couple of Precision sails await.
Thanks, Le Skeep

A brief clip of my 97 Valkyrie making her way home via the country roads in Italy then climbing the hill towards the house. Sped-up for effect. Enjoy.

Silver Sailing sv Nautica
Просмотров 3163 года назад
Update follows below. I'm learning my new GoPro so this footage is from my older model. It shows the Alberg under sail, the elements of wind, water and weather, during a sail. I named it "Silver Sailing" because it was so bright that day, so bright that if you didn't have sunglasses you'd be blinded attempting to sail into that sun! It also reveals to skippers the angle of heel. The Alberg is d...
Easy Winter Sailing (Revised)

Sailing the Alberg30 s/v Nautica with full canvas out in 10 - 15 mph of straight line winds on Lake Murray, South Carolina. Am having to re-learn You Tube editing and in the meanwhile take off to Europe, so am reworking this footage. Too funny.
A Summer Sail aboard s/v Nautica, an Alberg 30 built in 1977
Просмотров 3883 года назад
A simple sailing video in light to brisk wind, one reef, on a beautiful day. Captions provide some idea of what is happening. It is an Alberg 30 which I have been renovating since 2016 yet this was filmed in 2017. The inside renovations are substantial now in 2020 and as of this filming much of the hardware had been replaced on deck. I increased the speed of the footage to avoid the viewer bein...
Sailing in brisk winds and clear skies.

Easy sailing with a first reef in the main in brisk winds but not overpowering, the Alberg 30 displays her characteristics on a sunny, bright day, singlehanded as I usually sail.

An enjoyable bit of sailing featuring s/v Nautica, my Alberg 30 on Lake Murray, South Carolina
Cove Tacking in the Alberg 30
Просмотров 3135 лет назад
A late afternoon series of tacks making my way back to the marina. After a day of sailing, the arrival can be a time of intense maneuvering and gaining advantage for getting home safely and in good form. The natural sounds of wind and water keep the realism of the video. It's not perfect but shows how maneuvering a 30' full keelboat can be an enjoyable experience.
Simply Enjoying the Reach

Sometimes it's great to just sail with, enjoy the overall experience of being under sail, alone on the water, and listening to classic music. In these days of 3 minute videos, fails, and selfies, this is a moment to relax and enjoy what many of us enjoy aboard our classic sailboats....
Sailboat Renaming Ceremony

Renaming our Sailboat required a good audience, so we performed it on a warm late Spring social event at our Sailing Club. Those who came were thoroughly engaged and happy to cheer on our new vessel, S/V Nautica!
Alberg 30 Squall Footage
Просмотров 42 тыс.6 лет назад
An unforseen squall moves quickly over a large lake with rig at full sail, the quick decision making to ride it out and the methods used in lieu of having been reefed. Sometimes you get caught but patience and proper handling can avoid an unfortunate outcome. This also shows how a placid lake can become a tempest due to a microburst. I did not set out to film this in particular, it simply took ...
Singlehanded Winter Sail

Brisk afternoon winds create a cool and pleasant diversion as the classic Alberg 30 shows style under pressure. I film as best I can and am able to spot things later I should have noticed earlier! Always learning something new from an old sailboat.
Slow Sail Mid Winter
Просмотров 2836 лет назад
The Alberg 30 keel hull is designed for heavier seas and is comfortably at ease in more turbulance. Yet much of our sailing tends to be with lighter winds and this video demonstrates how agile the design is when winds are 6 kts. At times the Alberg was as high as 7 kts underway. Sail position is critical for these winds. Although a long video (9min) the tacks demonstrate the ease with which thi...

Fun 3 minutes of a routine sail to break in a head-sail recently fitted.
Alberg Monday Sail

A typical single-handed sail with the Alberg 30, S/V Nautica, on Lake Murray South Carolina. This design is sturdy and forgiving if you err, but it is always a delight to handle in a good breeze and brings lots of enjoyment for those aboard.
