[Alberg30] Broken forestay

[Mike Lehman]

I don't think there is because there are too many variables depending on the 
boat. For example...if you have roller furling it is recommended to have a 
double toggle at the top instead of a single, to reduce side loaded stress 
from the stay. When I installed my Schaeffer roller furler, I had to cut my 
'standard' headstay to accomodate this extra toggle. While all of the boats 
are close, they could have slightly different rakes to the mast and it 
doesn't take much to make the stay too short or too long. The best thing, of 
course, if fir the stay to the particular boat.

BTW, when cutting wire riggin the best tool I have found for the job is a 
dremmel tool with a carbide wheel. Tape the wire before cutting so it 
doesn't splay after it is cut.

Has anyone yet responded to John's enquiry:
Is there a standard size for an Alberg 30?
