Welcome to the home page of the Alberg 35 User Group, celebrating our 29th year online. (Est. 1997) A "good old website" for a "good old boat"!
Welcome Back!
Long-time followers of this site will know that we've been down for a couple of months. That's because I've been working on re-hosting our site. Up until now, it's lived on a server in my basement and was subject to all of the terrors thereof. (Power failures, plumbing misadventures, sudden-server-death, etc.) I'm very happy to report that we're now located in a bonafide data center, giving us the following immediate advantages:
- Near 100% uptime.
- A functioning email system. (My prior ISP made some changes that broke this several years ago.)
- Much better bandwidth for faster page loads and downloads.
- A path for further website updates and upgrades.
In the coming weeks and months you will see more changes coming to this site with some much-overdue software updates and upgrades. As these changes are implemented, I'd love to hear from you to see how you like them or where I can do better.
Website Purpose and Mission
The purpose of this web site is to be an information clearing house for current and former Pearson Alberg 35 owners to share stories about their boats and the adventures they have while sailing them. Having acquired mine in 1996, I am always interested in learning more about the boat, as well as in meeting other owners and to hear stories about their boats.
If you own (have owned / are owned by) an Alberg 35 and would like to become a member of the Alberg 35 User Group, please register by clicking on the "Create an account..." link to the right. Membership is free. (I'd rather spend money on my boat, too!) To my knowledge, the A35 User Group is the only owners' association for this magnificent vessel.
Whether you are an Alberg 35 owner or not, please feel free to browse around and look in all of the corners of the site. While there is some model-specific information here, there is also a great deal of knowledge that is generic to the ownership of (or possession by) a "Good Old Boat." If there is a topic missing, please drop me a line and I'll see what I can do to include an article on the subject. Most of all, enjoy the site. Welcome aboard!
