Doughnut

Served steel rings are used on traditional yachts

to slide the foot of the jib out to the end of the
bowsprit, thereby saving the crew a possible

dunking. But fear not, if you don’t have a steel ring,
you can still make a doughnut using cord as a

foundation. The serving itself will keep it stiff and

shipshape.

1 Coil sufficient cord to make a suitably sized foundation. The number of

turns depends on the thickness of the cord.
