On most Alberg 30's, the rudder post is 1" diameter and has
a 1/4" keyway on the forward side. The tiller head fitting for
this arrangement is the
Edson
part #965BR-100 or #965CH-100.
A weakness of this model is that the "ears" through which
the bolt passes can be bent inwards by the pressure of the "H"
piece holding the tiller. As this happens, you'll get more and more
play in your steering. I recommend putting a bronze bushing in the
gap between the "ears" before this happens.
If your boat has the keyway aft, you might check the
Buck Algonquin part TSA-100.
Rig-Rite also has rudder head assemblies.

Cruising the Chesapeake: A Gunkholer's Guide 4th Edition
My favorite Chesapeake Bay guidebook. While it mentions marinas, it
concentrates on anchorages—the kind of places I prefer to spend
my time. And in addition to listing shore facilities, it rates each
location for Beauty/Interest and Protection. This is the guide you need
to really cruise the Chesapeake Bay—a smorgasbord of small creeks
and coves.
