<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Brian and all,
<BR>Didn't mean to offend members of the group. I did check out the
mastbeam repair photos on the Alberg30 site. They are yet another
version of this repair. Each of the seven Alberg 30 mastbeam repairs
that I have seen to date are different. <BR><BR>Can I assume that the
mastbeam repair photos on the web site are of the best and preferred method to
affect this repair? If so then that would be helpful information.
<BR><BR>Would the Alberg 30 group be offended if "someone" designed a
different and perhaps better and easier to install repair and then shared that
information with the group? <BR><BR>I don't intend to sound like a pompous,
stuff shirted jerk. When I reviewed all the available information on the
repair and looked at several repairs, with all the different materials people
were using I felt that it could be done better for perhaps not much if any
more money. <BR><BR>Thank you for all your comments. <BR><BR>Michael
