Alberg interview

[ebb]

Ed, Certainly know your cents are like collectible Lincoln 'wheats' from the twenties!
Wonderful stuff.
Couldn't have imagined bending the mast from the spreader UP! That's amaxing.

And I not sure what that MIGHT be doing except to help cancel possible weather helm in stiff wind.
But there also must be some benefit in the set of the sail. What...? a better foil shape to
the top half?

Thanks for the how to ! ! !

Wish we had that Monograph from you on 'How To Get The Most Out Of Sailing Your Ariel.'


I think you would approve of setting the mast up with the DESIGNED RAKE found in the sail diagram in the Manual.
Water line is datum. But the boom is also drawn horizontal with the waterline.
My guesstamate is 1/2degree. Imco I'm taking it off a questionable redrawing of an original Alberg.
What is your guess? Of course I'm sure you don't guess on that score.
So should I ask how much rake in the mast you have in Pathfinder's racing set up?
That is: Befor you tweek the top half of the spar......
