[Alberg30] New Spreaders.

[Jonathan Whittingham]

Dear Listers,
                   I have an Alberg 30 out here on the West 
Coast(Victoria,BC). I have had the mast dropped to do a total refit of 
old haywire rigging. The spreaders were in very sorry shape. They were 
oak of some sort. I am replacing them with some very fine edgegrain 
oldgrowth fir that came out of the beams in my basement. 6x6x 20feet 
long, virtually clear that had been supporting the house since 1912. I 
could not resist the urge! My question is this. On the traditional rig 
setup for the Alberg, should  the spreaders be reset with any fore or 
aft rake, or should they(I suspect) fly out at  90 degrees to the centre 
line through the fore and aft of the boat. Just not sure what is correct 
here and would geatly appreciate any replies. Many thanks in advance. 
Jonathan Whittingham.
