Of course they do. After all, it's one of the most beautiful boats on the water. Their love for the boat goes far beyond the pride of ownership. They are always willing to give advice and even lend a hand to fellow owners, even if it's a rival racing skipper. A series of four seminars is held each February , on maintenance, racing, cruising and miscellaneous topics.
Members are quick to share their ideas for maintenance and improvement.
Many times they write them up for the newsletter, the Mainsheet. In 1973, such articles were collected and added to other material to produce a ninety-page manual. This manual has recently been totally rewritten to bring it up to date and is available to members for a reasonable cost. Members organize group purchases from time to time, resulting in significant savings. Recently, we've added a couple of mailing lists , one just for members, to help include the A30 sailors who don't happen to live in the area.
