[Public-List] Newbee Looking for help with rudder parts

[Glenn]

I can call and ask early next week.  I visited them spring 2012 when I was thinking of adding a new stem head fitting.  I am pretty sure they do not have A 30 patterns made up, but could take them my pintel to copy.  They make their own patterns and do good casting work, its just very expensive these days to cast in bronze.   Will advise what they quote for price if we have 3 or 4 sets  that could be made up in a batch.

Someone on this list purchased these parts from Pt. Townsend and had to substantially modify them to fit his Alberg 30. Because of the initial high cost plus not knowing that they would not easily fit the Alberg 30 he was not a happy camper.  When you guys are doing your research with Pt. Townsend it would be good to learn if they have come up with patterns for the Alberg 30  specifically.
