[Alberg30] spinnaker and spinnaker pole

[Mike Lehman]

I don't know if it worth buying new fittings for. The aluminum is thick-wall
and heavy. It can probably be fixed for cheap and used as is. Do you want to
come over here and get it? I'll check my spare parts box, who knows I may
have the stuff to fix it.
