[Public-list] #306 Found on Grenada

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Dave,

Glad to hear she did well during the storm. 

The extrusion that was used on our Albergs in my case #114 (1965) is no
longer available from the manufacturers. I had these two vendors provide a
quote for new rig a few years back.  I would also plan for a new mast step
as well, since the extrusion is different. There are a few suppliers in New
England, Dwyer Mast in Ct and Metal Mast in Putnam, CT. I can have the
length and other dimensions that you need since I will be pulling the boat
over the next week or so. Do you also need the dimensions of the boom. If
you can't wait that long, someone else may have a boat out of the water.

Stephen

First, I would like to thank all of you who sent me your sympathy and 
encouragement, and even a Thai chant for Alberg #306 that was hauled at the
Spice 
Island Marina, Grenada at the time Hurricane Ivan devastated the island.
Almost a month later, Alberg30 hull # 306 was found at the bottom of a pile 
of yachts. It was righted again in the boat yard.
 For those of you who encouraged with the fact that the Alberg30 hulls were 
built to the highest of standards (Thank you Whitby Boat Works, Canada) I am

pleased to report that you were correct! 
    I have just received pictures that show that my hull was not damaged. I 
lost my mast, deck stanchions and a lot of interior damage, but the floating

part after being slam-dunked by Mother Nature seems to be intact.  I hope
none of you ever have to see your vessel ravaged by a hurricane. It 
is reassuring, however, that we all own a boat that can sustain such a 
disaster. Over 100 vessels on and around Grenada were total insurance
losses.
     I shall be returning to Grenada October 25th to begin the resurrection 
of my boat. If anyone can supply me with the Alberg30 mast dimensions and
the 
procurement of a used or new mast, I'd be most obliged.
 Thanks again,
Dave Ferneding
