Abstract: A food-slicing device having a food supporting cradle formed of a pair of vertically upstanding lateral wall members and an intermediate web section therebetween, the wall members diverging upwardly and outwardly from the web section, and an anvil tray or platform section extending forwardly of the leading edges of the lateral wall members and web section to receive sliced food material produced upon cutting the food in a plane closely adjacent the leading edges of the wall members and web section.

Abstract: A wind-propelled sailboat having a main hull and an outboard pontoon, a mast mounted upon the hull and a triangularly-shaped sail removably connected and secured at its peak to the top of the mast, the sail being controlled for propulsion of the boat by manually manipulated lines connected to each lower end of the sail, and manually controlled rudder means for steering of the boat. The sail is preferably not provided with a boom but is free for shifting either luff of the sail as a leading edge by means of the lines connected to the two lower ends of the sail. The sail-connected lines or sheets are each passed through swiveling blocks and locking cleats arranged for selectively drawing and releasably engaging the lines to draw the sail luffs taut.
