[Alberg30] mast compression

[sousa, stephen]

Ian,

There were a number of e-mail concerning the availability of a pair of
braces that are physical glassed and bolted onto the wooden beam supporting
your deck. I think Mike Lehman has the company name in the Maryland area. I
purchased a pair of plates this spring and installed them prior to stepping
the mast, everything worked great. It is difficult to invision how your boat
was reworked with the steel plates?

Hello, I have a sagging deck where the mast is stepped. I have a steel frame

which has been installed under the beam that is glassed under the deck. the 
frame is 2 feet wide and rests on a wooden beam that is wedged in the hull 
at the level of the cabin sole. I think I can shim the deck up using the 
existing frame, but I am concerned about where the weight is being 
transfered to. Should the steel frame transfer teh weight to the keel? I 
would appreciate any ideas, thanks
Ian
