[alberg30] Mast step location

Hi Ken, 
I would seriously consider consulting with a naval architect before ai moved
the mast step of the the Alberg 30 down to the keel.  On the cabin top, the
weight of the mast is distributed to the deck, bulkheads, etc. No one single
point.  You move the entire compresiion and weight of the mast to one point on
the keel on a hull which  wasn't designed for those forces, you may have some
serious problems. Think it over carefully.  Much easier to cut the new mast to
the approprite length.
Good Luck,
