As for the mess you describe, we've yet to successfully
rig and launch correctly twice in row.
I forgot to mention some on-line articles, and it took me a while to find the URLs. Several are listed on
http://cruisingresources.com/downwind_Sails
Some of the links are dead, but if you enter the title in google, you might find it elsewhere.
Here are some SailNet Articles

There is another article I'll keep looking for that explains how to
rig the lazy sheets outside the stay but inside the sail. The sail is a bit harder to gybe, but avoids running over the sheet.
