[Public-list] Alberg on the Web and baby update!

[Austin Meyermann]

Hi everyone,
 
Well, the bun is still in the oven and we are scheduled to induce labor on Thursday if nothing is happening. 
 
Also, if you go to cruisenews.net, the mainpage logo is an Alberg 30! Pretty sweet!

I've got some more questions on the rudder build/fit - the groups input is appreciated.

What type of fiberglass do I use to encase the rudder - there is matted or cloth or ground up fibers -- and if I go with cloth (or not?), what weight 10z, 4oz, 10oz, etc.)? 

Any advice on the dos and donts laying fiberglass would be appreciated. Curing times? Do I put one layer - or 2 or 3?

Does the pintle go below the gudgeon (or above)?

In removing the rudder stock I had to hack saw the flange that slips into the base of the cockpit sole. Any idea where I can buy a replacement?

There's a good chance the bolts which held the rudder shoe in place (which are now severed from when the shoe came off) might not want to leave. If that's the case - my thought was to use some carefully and alternatively placed piloted holes to send silicon bronze screws (not bolts) into (along with a bunch of 5200 b/w the shoe and the keel). Is this a concern?

Went out and to see how the raw rudder fit to the rudder stock and boat - so far so good. I wonder if it will steer the boat in circles.
