[Alberg30] Leak around rudder post

[George Dinwiddie]

Marc,

I presume you have a newer boat.  I cut the plywood bulkhead in
the port locker in half, vertically.  Then I removed the aft
half.  This gives good access to the rudder post stuffing box.
After adjusting, I put the plywood back in place with screws.

This was written up in more detail in the Mainsheet.  I'll
try to post the article.
