Something from Dick Dorworth, some situational awareness reading, and in the "Current weapon of choice" department...
Sailing Anarchy has an interesting piece on dog bones (AKA toggles) that you really should check out. That said, be warned that while well worth reading it morphs into an infomercial but the content is worthwhile
I'll also point out that dog bones are just about the easiest and cheapest bits of sailing gear to DIY. All you need is a drill with a 3/8" or 1/2" chuck, a hack saw, and some 3/8" or 1/2" aluminum rod.
