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.

A collection of stories about the Alberg 30 and how a bunch of Chesapeake Bay
sailors came to buy a bunch of these boats and form an association around
racing and cruising them.
