Thanks for all the replies. I did look at the links that LA posted and agree that they just didn't seem to click with what I saw assembled one morning at BC's. I think we'll just have to do some experimenting and make some notes. Sounds like a great plan this weekend! I'll post results. Keep the recipes coming.

Our sailboat is named Jack-A-Roe, after an old English song that the Dead covers. We race it in Chicago and Florida.
