1445.1keep lookingHBO::PELLEGRINITue Feb 20 1990 10:135
    I have not seen an Alland around for quite a while.As I recall they 
    where not well built,ie they had the absolute minimum size
    rigging,cleats,et.al.
    In this market you should beable to find something much better.
    Good luck.

    At the risk of offending current owners, we have two 31's at our
    club.  They have participated casually in the clubs cruising class
    racing competition and rarely finish in the allotted time.  When
    leaving or entering the channel, the standard joke when passing
    the Allmand's on their moorings...."There's an Allmand, doing what
    it does best."               
    
    Sorry,

1445.4Sabre, a great boat!!SAILBT::HEARNSMon Feb 26 1990 09:5325
	Saw your PS about SABRE.

	My wife and I currenlty own a 1974 Sabre 28'. We bought it last
	year and a VERY happy with it. 

	If you are looking for Sabres try calling "The Yacht Headquaters" in
	Portsmouth RI. Last I knew they had several used Sabres and are also
	the RI dealer for the new ones.

	We bought are boat thru them last year. If you call ask for a man
	named Kim Anderson (he is a guy), we were very pleased with him.

	Feel free to use my name.

	If you have any questions please feel free to call.

    Chris,
    
    	If you're still in the market for a 30 footer and haven't purchased
    and Allman or Sabre yet, you may be interested in a 32' Islander. It
    belongs to a good friend of mine who has just purchased a larger boat. 
    His Islander is up in E.Boothbay, Maine and he'll let it go for $24k.
    	It has a new dodger, a roller jib, a fin keel and a spade rudder.
    I'm not sure if it's the fastest boat around, but I know Win has taken
    good care of it.  You can call him (Win Russell) in Acton Mass at (508)
    263 5743 for more info.  You may want to charter it for a week to try
    it out first.
    	Good Sailing,
