A 30' is, in my opinion, generally too small for a yawl rig. The 30' sloop with marconi rig is better for this size boat. Still a heavy boat, but if you ultimately want to go to Hawaii or Cancun it's a good choice. Many go round the globe. Even in the Alberg 35' the sloop rig is better. For the Alberg 37' the yawl rig seems preferred, at least in terms of the numbers built. But it's not a beginner's boat.
I've not sailed SF Bay except once in a 5.5 meter in my racing days, and it was blowing pretty hard, so I don't have a lot of "local knowledge," I'd have to defer to Ed's experience.
