[alberg30] Re: Upgrading my Alberg30

[Richard Johns]

From: Richard Johns <Richard.Johns at valley.net>

Shawn, My traveler is mounted to the cockpit seats just aft of the bridge
deck. it is a heavy cross section designed to span the width of the
footwell. This is conected staight up to a bail on the boom which is 3/4 of
the way out.  It is convienent to reach but somewaht in the way.  A four
part tackle works fine and the load on the boom is less than with a mid boom
arangement on the cabin top.  When at anchor we will sometimes ease the
traveler to one side to clear the companionway. The sheet leads fair with
both my dodger and bimini top both in place. 

Good luck withyour projects.
Rich
