[Alberg30] boom vangs and Joe #499

[greeksailor at att.net]

Jay,

I bought model " RV 20-1 28-33 ft " . I paid for it at the Atlantic City show 
and they will ship it as soon as I get the measurements.

The measurements they need are as follows:

Take a solder wire and shape it around the bottom haplf of the boom.

Do the same at the bottom most part of the mast where the vang plate will 
attach.

Then trace the solder wire on to paper; from this they will custom make the two 
attachment plates

Then measure from the bottom of the gooseneck to the lowermost place on the 
mast where the vang plate will go. (this is the tricky part, see below)

Mail or fax your 2 sketches and one measurement and youre done.

The only catch is that you have to wait for a nice day to raise the mainsail, 
lower the gooseneck to the most downward position you want it to be and then 
get the 3rd measurement mentioned above. Their turn around time is 1 week and 
the product looked very good at the show.
