Slim,
The picture of your dog caught my attention.  How does she/he do on the
boat?  We've got two that we take occasionally but we put doggie life vests
on them.  We haven't lost one over the side yet, but it's only a matter of
time.  We haven't really sailed too much with them, just motor around since
I'm afraid we will loose them in a gust. - Rob
