[Public-List] Alberg 30 boom gooseneck

[thomascwcj via Public-List]

Kristian:
Two years ago I replaced a sliding gooseneck on my A30 with a permanent one. It was fabricated by Garhauer Marine and is a stainless steel work of art. I don't know how they did it for the low price they charged. It's performed so well that I've forgotten it's on the mast. I'd imagine they still have the fabrication design specs on file. I have before and after pix if you're interested in going in the "permanent fix" direction" and give me your email address.

Oh, that would be great if I can get it welded. As nice as a new boom would
be, it's not a good time to spend the money on one. I've got #127 out of
the water getting a new rudder fitted, new Dux standing rigging, new wood
spreaders, new running rigging along with many other smaller jobs. I hope
to have her sailing by the end of the week!

Yeah, I could see a accidental jibe causing that crack. We had a jibe onto
the preventer once that was fairly violent. Lots of force produced with
just a small amount of movement of the boom!
I'll be sure to update with any progress.
