<DIV><FONT size=2>A posting to this mail group in 1999 suggested all Alberg
30's are lightning grounded by virtue of the stainless strip running from the
stemhead down to about 3 feet below the waterline. It connects to the
forestay and thereby providing a grounding from the masthead to the
water.</FONT></DIV>

alternatives there might be.</FONT></DIV>
