Finding hull# on A-30

[Matt1]

I will try not to flood this forum with requests for info, but I scoured the archives and found info on finding triton #'s but not A-30's. I looked in all the places that were suggested for the tritons, ie: settee backs, tables, etc. There is no plaque or evidence that there was one on this boat. The boat was coast guard documented but the documentation has expired and the paperwork does not state the hull# I am just curious. The boat is a 1966. Thanks

Matt1,

I can't answer your question directly but I found the following information (in red) on the web some time ago. I can't vouch for its accuracy except to say that the hull numbers of A30's which I have seen for sale seem to fall within these categories. Hope this helps.

Year of manufacture

I'm trying to determine the manufacturing year for each hull number. My data is so far incomplete, but this is what I've got:
Hull Number
Year Built Low High
1963 US11
1964 30 57
1965 63 123
1966 138 201
1967 210 276
1968 294 326
1969 359 401
1970 411 441
1971 458 490
1972 491 518
1973 526 550
1974 555 568
1975 590
1976 598 610
1977 612
1978
1979
1980 645

Please excuse the formatting.

This info fits in with what I know about my Alberg 30, at least for 1967. I bought it from the original owner, who bought it new in 1967, and made at least one trip to Whitby to watch it being built. Based on that, I'm certain that I have proper information. It was delivered to him in Michigan in January 1967, and it's hull #221.

I haven't seen any physical evidence of a hull number on the boat (yet), although there is a "221" on the sail (not that that's always conclusive without other evidence.

Thanks for the suggestions. The hull# appears to be #190. I didn't find it anywhere on the boat, but after pulling out all of the sails, it was on one of the originals, and it falls into the year guidelines suggested. The main that was on the boom had racing numbers, and I had not bothered to inventory the other sails because they appeared to be pretty bad just looking into the sail bags. Thanks again, Matt

Matt,

I think someone in the A30 organization keeps a listing of the A30s. If you haven't tried the A30 list, you might post there to see if someone can direct you to the list. The previous owner of my boat had it registered and I was able to find my hull number in the Coast Guard records.

Here is the link to the spreadsheet available on the Alberg 30 Association's site. Perhaps this is the list that you're talking about?

That's it. It looks like the last listed name of #190 is Anenome, and it was purchased by the last listed owner in 2004.

This is in fact the boat. I was told by the former owner that "Anemone" meant "passing wind" in Greek, and my wife was insisting on changing the name. Turns out it means "daughter of the wind". She is much better with that. Thanks again for the help. Now on to hot, sweaty, gulf coast repairs. The A-4 has turned out to be a needy friend.
