[Alberg30] DECK BEAM REPAIR

[RABBIT649 at aol.com]

Hi Mike,
    Beautiful repair and thanks for taking the trouble to post the picture.
    I was wondering: could I put the brace on the other side of the bulkhead 
in the forward cabin or is that too far forward to provide support? The 
reason is this is really a preventive measure on a beautifully laminated 
wooden brace that doesn't show much deflection at all. I don't think the boat 
was raced much because there isn't that much of an Alberg presence up here in 
NY. I just didn't want to obscure the lamination if I could avoid it. But if 
the sister brace won't do its job forward then I guess I have to.
    What do you think?
