[Public-list] #306 Found on Grenada

[Tom Sutherland]

Michael,

Please do if it isn't too much trouble. I am the one who submitted the
34' 9-3/8" measurement and after reading your email I measured again
with a steel tape (mine is also on a rack beside my house) and the
measurement is as sent. I am sure my mast is the original for my 1970
alberg. As previously mentioned this is just the extrusion and does NOT
include the masthead. I also expect that ambient temperature could
effect this measurement a fraction of an inch or so with an aluminum
extrusion of this length.

My 1966 hull #133 is out of the water with the mast on a rack.  I could easily measure the mast and boom for your reference.  Let me know if you would like the measurements.
