[Public-list] Strengthening Main Beam in older Alberg 30s

[George Dinwiddie]

Irene,

Bruce Rankin had an updated solution to Bob Marshall's fix.  It involves 
putting an aluminum plate on each side of the beam, rather than just a 
beam on the forward side.  See 
http://www.alberg30.org/collaborate/DeckBeamRepair for some description 
of it, including a local place to get the aluminum plates.
