[Alberg30] Gooseneck

[George Dinwiddie]

Actually, you can do it easier than that.  Gybe the boat in 
moderately heavy air with the preventer on, and you can shear
all five rivets at once.  Just don't stand next to or forward
of the mast when you do this.

Next lesson: Rebuilding the Tiller with Hose Clamps Underway,
or Why You Should Keep Up the Varnish On a Laminated Tiller.
