[Public-list] Rigging Questions

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Mick,

We have designed and built the mast heads for the Alberg. We currently have
15 installed on various Albergs ranging from Canada to various places in the
US. This design and group purchase all started in 2003 when the Pro Furl
Group purchased occurred. Yes, it is the best fix, when you are done
purchasing a new sheave for the center of the mast and installation the mast
head is actually less money with a stronger and improved design. If you need
one please send me a note.

Well one last thing to get me sailing............  The halyard is jammed in
the sheave and after 2 attempts to free it using a crane, the mast has to
come off.  Of course now the mast has to come off I am looking at other
things.  I'd appreciate any thoughts on the following questions.
 
1) The single sheave may best be improved by a new mast head with double
sheaves built in.  I found some references in earlier posts suggesting that
this is the best way to go.  Is anyone aware of a manufacturer familiar with
the dimensions etc for one suitable for the original alberg mast extrusion.
 
2) I may elect to fix up the single sheave arrangement.  Are these sheaves
readily available?
 
3) Ruthless has the original wood spreaders which I assume are mahagony.
They need replacing.  They have been on the boat since 1967 so they are
obviously up to the job.  Any thoughts on comparing wood vs aluminum
spreaders?  What aluminum spreader design are best suited?
 
Thanks
 
Mick
