Keep in mind the hollow bilge area in the shoal keel on the later M17s with glass centerboards stays well below cabin or cockpit temperatures--small, but suitable for some items in lieu of a real cooler. I use mine, as I've said before, for wine, but I imagine it would work for less precious cargo as well when the ice runs out. There are a couple Mountain House freeze dry meals that are tolerable, but remember you can dry your own food quite easily as well. Especially add-ons, like mushrooms, tomatoes, even hamburger. Soft packages of meat like tuna and chicken are good for super-charging dry rice mixes. In my mind, one-pot meals are the only way to go. t
