[[09/07/2025 SOLD]] LEGENDS Never DIE! Alberg 30 Sailboat Tour | $12,500

LEGENDS Never Die! Meet HERON, a 1968 Alberg 30 sailboat — one of the most beloved 30-foot cruisers ever built. Canadian Ken and I fell in love with this boat the moment we stepped aboard, and she’s ready to splash right now. With a Beta Marine diesel showing just 130 hours, a fresh set of sails, solid rigging, and plenty of thoughtful upgrades, this Alberg 30 is turn-key and waiting for her next adventure.

Designed by Carl Alberg and built by Whitby Boatworks, the Alberg 30 has earned cult-classic status for her graceful lines, rugged build, and proven offshore capability. Over 750 were built, and countless sailors still swear by them for coastal cruising and bluewater passages. HERON is no exception — she’s been lovingly maintained, upgraded, and comes with extras that make her ready to sail today.
