[Alberg30] Alberg sails and rigging

[PELLICK at aol.com]

Hello Norm,

Where onthe West Coast are you?
I found a sailboat manufacturer that caters to folks doing their own work and 
prices are better than any marine store. I replaced the rotted toerail on 
Brigadoon with the aluminum rails offered at Cascade yachts - they are through 
bolted at the topsides and deck. The setup allows for shroud fastening, which 
will eliminate the leaking original chainplates. Oversizing the rigging you have 
now doesnot necessary mean a stronger rig. The set is as strong as its 
weakest point. Check the chain plates and gussets and replace the 1/4" chainplate 
bolts with 5/16" bolts. Good luck with your great boat.

Ciao,

Paul Ellick #210
