[Alberg30] Deck Beam & Maint Manual

[Randy Weatherspoon]

1.) I have checked the sources for the deck beam and current price is approx.  $300.  I have several friends with machine shops and would like to price through them - does anyone have the pattern or would someone like to sketch and measure theirs for future use of the group and myself - I could draw up machine drawings suitable for fabrication. Also for those who have done this I am a little nervous about jacking the existing beam up as I don't want to damage the hull --down-- my deckbeam is only sagging but the rigging is loose and I don't want things to get worse -- I will have the mast off from transport and would like to do before restepping-- ? am wondering if having set like this for a long period of time if it wouldn't have taken a set in the current position making it hard to jack back into position?
 
2.) I have seen reference to a maintenance manual that is out of print or something - would anyone be interseted in making a copy or putting it up on a site for general reference?

3.) I purchased Hull #385 last summer and then moved - tried to sell but couldn't get a far price so I will be  bring her to Miami to overhaul (everything)--- I have been following public list with great interest - especially various sources and will be putting together a notebook of the same as well as notes and drawings of the effort in as close to scaled drawings as is possible -- I have taken the brochure sketches and put them in Autocad and will be adding to the layers as I go and would like to incorporate as many of the original drawings as possible like the electrical drawing only outlining it in ACAD to clean up and modify to present day. Any sketches, drawing, scribles would be appreciated -- as I go through the various systems- electrical-rigging-deck-hull-engine-sails-etc----- I intend to try and condense some of the best of the public list for a new "Care and Feeding / Rebirth" maintenance manual - this will include a resource appendix - drawings -how to for each!
 of the subsystems specifically for the Alberg. I would also like to put together a directory of ownership for each hull# with a picture of each if possible----
Ambitious I know but what the heck - everyone needs a hobby !
Any ideas or advise are welcome ---I look forward to the project and hearing from all of the Association-
Thanks in advance
Randy  #385
