<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I have some questions about load factors on the
Alberg. First, I'm replacing the block on my topping lift and was
wondering what would be a safe working load for the new block. Secondly, I
am considering putting foot blocks on the boat. Is 3500 lbs... an adequate
SWL?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Finally, is there a consensus on tension for
standing rigging?</FONT></DIV>
