[Alberg30] Re: Deck Beam & Maint Manual

[Alfredo]

George,

Copyritght and effort placed to produce. Understood.
But, if it's not available then is not a perq. 

How aboaut printing a small batch. Find a local
printshop that would take small orders. Pre-sell them
before printing.

I've got about a year's worth of the newsletters. But,
it would be so much nicer to have the manual. 

If you decide to print, put me down for 2.

A.

Well, the Maintenance Manual is copyrighted by the
Chesapeake Bay 
Alberg 
30 Association.  The Long Range Planning Committee
specifically decided 
against posting it, wanting to keep it a perq of
membership.

The way the Association works is that everyone pitches
in a little bit. 
  Almost everything in that manual came from articles
submitted to the 
monthly newsletter.  I personally spent hundreds of
hours organizing 
and 
retyping and scanning pictures for the manual.  I had
a run of 200 
copies printed, as we had less than 200 member boats
at the time.  
Well, 
that was four years ago and they're now all gone.  In
the process, they 
made a little money for the Association--something
those who complain 
when the dues go up should appreciate.

The feasibility of reprinting is being looked into,
but volunteer time 
takes awhile.  It's not likely that another printing
of 200 would be 
smart.  They're not making new Alberg 30s at the
moment.

But please don't start copying it and passing it out. 
That's taking 
from the Association, and from the members of the
Association who give 
their time and effort.

  - George
