Hi Doug,
my first recommendation, worth what you pay me for it, is that you look at a lot of the boats at the regatta in St Augustine next week, ask questions and take pictures. You will find lots of opinions and help and we look forward to seeing you.
Second, there are some helps and links in the new MODEL YACHTING you should find helpful. The articles are also on line in an expanded form. Scott Vernon has some good ideas. (and forget the rocking crane).
And third, make use of the search function on this site, and the ec12.info building site. The books are great references but you will see some new ways to rig.
KISS principle-' keep it simple stoopid', works for many of us. Baron Bremer does not use a jib trim.
