[C320-list] Dutchman system

[crashley at gte.net]

I would consider a lazy jack set up. I would prefer it over my Dutchman, 
actually. Less work uncovering and covering. Not sure about the performance 
hit but then I don't race.

Of course you could go for a boom-furler... that wouldn't suck, except for 
the cost.
