Here are some photos of my Alberg 37. I purchased this last fall and have been working on it all winter. I will be sailing it on Lake Michigan and it is scheduled to go in the water in a week.

Ooh, nice!

It's fun to see a >25' Alberg design without the "signature*" doghouse, and to see what the same shape looks like with a low coachroof. Looks pretty long and lean.

Also.... wow, that galley looks vast!

Thanks for the photos.

*I realize this was more a sign of the times than an Alberg design feature; but so many of our classic plastic Alberg boats came from those times. Hmm, okay, not Cape Dorys.... but still.

Beautiful boat! I'm sure you'll love her. Is she cutter or sloop rigged? We have her younger "sister," a Cape Dory 36.

What is your home port? We're out of St. Joseph, Michigan.

It is a sloop rig. I will be sailing out of Port Washington, WI which is just north of Milwaukee. I plan to try to get the boat bulletproof this season, and then try to get up to the North Channel next summer.

Looks like you have the 'Mk 1' version. Much prettier with all that wood inside since the later 'glass liner does not show.

A couple of very lovely boats!
