Have just watched you vid series with interest. I like to see these old boats refit. Many do not realize that they are really good sailing boats. BUT undertaking a project of this magnitude is not something to be done lightly. I spent 15 months, full time refitting a Cape Dory 28. That was more than 15 years ago. I had an advantage. 15 years experience building semi-custom cruising sailboats. Then I sailed it round the world, solo. I was a bit older than you when I did this, celebrating my 60th birthday in Simon's Town South Africa. I am sure your boat could do the same. Keep up the work, the reward is worth it. May your troubles melt like lemon drops.

Love the videos as i'm currently going through the refit process. I have a '68 Alberg 30 with the ol Atomic. If you need to donate your engine to a good cause I would love to take it off your hands ;)

Nice Tohatsu! You can dispose of your old diesel fuel by offering it to someone with an oil furnace. That's what we do around here to avoid the horrendous disposal fees.

The solution to mount an outboard as inboard could solve my dieselengine problems. I tried to find James article about the installation but was unsuccessful. Could you give me a hint (e.g. magazine, year, etc.) how to purchase it? Keep up the good work! I like your videos!

The Good Old Boat magazine issue it's in is the November/December 2018 issue. You can get it here: goodoldboat.com/shop/back-issues/2018/2018-123-november-december/ Also, check out kzitem.info this is James Baldwin's channel. He shows the conversion on a few different boats.

If you want to try out sailing an Alberg and you're going to be near Baltimore this summer, let me know, I'd be glad to take you out on my Alberg 35. A little larger but the same basic design, I suspect pretty much similar sailing characteristics.

Pull the engine and get rid of the headache ;)

If you're going to pull it anyway, I'd second the idea of getting the engine out. You're bound to spill diesel and oil when you take the engine out. That will mean another cleaning.
