[alberg30] Support Beam

[George Dinwiddie]

From: George Dinwiddie <gdinwiddie at min.net>

I don't think the mast-step was under-designed.  The problem is that
the beam delaminates.  It's a deterioration problem.  Adhesives have
improved a lot since the 60's.  I think it's amazing that many of these
beams are still working after 30 years.
