Welcome to the

GREAT LAKES ALBERG ASSOCIATION

Members of The Great Lakes Alberg Association are sailing enthusiasts with two passions – the classic designs of Carl Alberg and the unmatched splendour of the largest fresh water lake system in the world. Alberg designs share a traditional beauty and grace typified by their full keels, spoon bows, wine glass stems and pleasing sheer. They are fast and elegant racers, yet rugged and affordable cruisers.

Racing: With over 700 Alberg 30s produced, this boat makes a spectacular one-design racer. The GLAA organizes two A30 triangle races each season on Lake Ontario and participates in a third on Chesapeake Bay sponsored by its sister association,the Chesapeake Alberg 30 One Design Association. See our Events Calendar.

Cruising: Alberg designs also make wonderful family cruising boats, with many circumnavigations to their credit. The GLAA hosts several rendevous and cruising events each year for the entire family to enjoy.

Maintenance: With most Albergs long out of production, maintaining aging sailboats is a common concern. This site features an ever-growing archive of Maintenance articles and will soon add a Forum for members to share ideas on everything to do with these fine boats.

Membership: Finally, the GLAA is about preserving this wonderful resource we are blessed to sail, the Great Lakes. As natural conservationists, we prefer "sailing on the breath of god" to motoring on fossil fuels!
