    In many ways, the Alberg 29 is the refinement and culmination of the concept behind the original Alberg 30. It has a slightly more modern look about it. Like the older Alberg 30, this boat has a full keel and places a high priority on seaworthiness. The cleats, portholes, and other equipment are robust and indicate that the Alberg 29 was designed for bluewater cruising. Despite its full keel design, owners report that when the wind picks up, the Alberg 29 can point quite high and has a good turn of speed. Below decks, the Alberg 29 offer 6' 2" (1.9 m) of headroom, but with its emphasis on seaworthiness, it does not have quite as much interior space as some other beamier 29 and 30 footers.
