[Alberg30] Jib sheet tracks

[George Dinwiddie]

John,

I don't think you have to worry about the hull-deck joint coming
apart unless you bang it really hard.  On the newer boats, at least,
the hull-deck joint is glued together with resin-soaked fiberglass
matt.  I'm not sure what was used on the older boats, but I'm sure 
it's not a dry joint.
