[Alberg30] Window replacement castings

[RABBIT649 at aol.com]

Following this message from Jacques, is a copy of Towney's last communication 
from May of last year on the casting of parts by Bristol Bronze as described 
in Good Old Boat. If the group interested in frames pursued it any further, 
please let us know.

I have been a subscriber of Good Old Boat since the first issue and I  read 
the article on Bristol Bronze. I thought I would have heard from Roger by 
now, but no word. I wonder if he is really interested in us. But I think it 
may not be important - We have just learned that Phil Beigle has had 8 rudder 
shoes cast by a foundry in Baltimore and they are for sale from him for $40 
each. I saw one and they look fine. We believe the gudgeons can be fabricated 
quite easily if anyone needs them. The problem with the gudgeons is that 
Whitby used several versions of them and when a set is needed they will have 
to be made (from sheet bronze) to replace the version involved. The 
rudder/tiller fitting can be obtained from Edson - a direct replacement. That 
leaves only the frames for the windows and only 3 - 4 people have expressed 
"interest" in them so far. All total I have 13 people who have responded to 
the Mainsheet article/survey who are willing to put up $15 for molds. Since 
the only molds we now might need are for the frames I suggest that those who 
want frames take over the contact with BB and carry that issue to a 
conclusion. I will put all of this into the next Mainsheet, but this is a 
heads up to those who were good enough to respond and to be willing to pursue 
the old unavailable parts. Any comments??
