[Public-list] Help(Just Bought an Alberg 30)

[Mike Lehman]

Rob,

Congratulations on purchasing an Alberg 30. I don't know if I can advise you 
on the length of the headstay/backstay. Eventhough the boats are alike, I 
would not order rigging based upon another boats measurements. I would like 
to help you, if I can. The Chesapeake A30 Association has an A-frame that we 
use to take down masts. I am the keeper of the 'rig'. If I know what time 
you will need help, and where you will be, we could possibly be at your boat 
to take the mast down and it would not cost anything. You may also want to 
contact Chesapeake Rigging in Annapolis. They are familiar with the A30 and 
could make a new headstay/backstay. Are you keeping the boat here, or taking 
in to Canada? How long will you be here?

I need to find out some info on the rigging of an Alberg 30.  I recently
purchased #348 Good Hope from Mr. James Aguilard of Valentine Creek on
the Severn River.  I need to replace the Forestay/Backstay and
unfortunately I live in Hamilton, Ontario.  I need to know the exact
length and size(diameter) from the top of the Tangs to the bottom of
the pins in the Turnbuckle for both.  Also, are the tangs a single eyelet
or the type that sandwich a sleave?  I am planning on coming down to the
boat on April 16-19 to start unwinterizing the engine and to address some
of the issues.  I need to find a Gen pole somewhere close to Valentine
creek to unstep the mast on the 18th to replace the two stays and possibly
the Halyards plus topping lift.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

p.s.  I presently have wire to rope Halyards and would like to replace to
straight rope.  Are the sheaves big enough to accomodate 3/8 line or will
they jam and if so where can I get new ones(sheaves)in Annapolis?  Would
I have to order them before I come down?

Thanks Again,
Rob Schindler
