sd, you're right on the heat distribution, anything that thin should only be used for boiling water. Still, a titanium chowder pot would help offset the weight of the cast iron skillet.
Sometimes I try to figure out, would real racers carry titanium coffee mugs? Or, require the crew to just suck on powdered instant, because mugs are excess weight?
Does Giulietta know we've got titanium sporks in America?

Titanium pans???? where???? where???? where??? please please give me the site.....SS pans you're history.....site please.....
"The only problem with the titanium cookware is that it is very thin and has some heat distribution problems because of that. I have it... from my backpacking days, and have used it on the boat...but it isn't ideal...except for fanatics like Giulietta—who cut the handles on their silverware to reduce weight...
How did you know??? Wow, SD you're freaking me out...I don't have the lids of the pans either, and most stuff is in plastic bags, to save the heavy containers...

I don't care about heat distribuiton....site...site...I'm in the US in a week....

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

G-
REI is a great source. If you're on the east coast you can also try www.campmor.com, they are located in Paramus, NJ a short ride n/west of NYC. Among the other oddities...they now stock plastic origami plates and bowls. Yes, bowls and dishes that fold down flat for stowage. Very light, too, although I'm not convinced I'd want to use them unless I had to pack really really light.

Thanks hello.
I do fly to Newark a lot...so that is a possibility.
This time I will be in St. Thomas, but soon will be in NY. Will defenetely buy the pans and tools....
The plates...I don't think so...still like to eat in a plate....but the pans are OK, saves me travels in/out of the boat to empty stuff for racing...

If you want the best pans out there (they ain't cheap).. check these out... http://www.aroma-essence.com/titanium-cookware.html or http://www.chefsresource.com/scanpan.html or http://www.showsmart.com/titaniumexclusivecookware
It's a titanium coating on an aluminum core. We saw them demonstrated at the Annapolis boat show. Nothing sticks to them and cleanup just takes a cloth and water. Heat distribution is excellent. They are somewhat lightweight. The surface is ridiculously scratch resistant. You can use metal utensils with them. They are expensive but come with a long guaranty.

Chris-
That interested me enough to click on the aroma-essence link but they have a big lead that says "EPA Declares Teflon™ Carcinogenic
Brought to you by TodayInHealth.com " and then, nothing in the article backs up that claim. In fact, as best I can determine, that headline is simply domestic terrorism and the EPA has made no such declaration. (If they have, I'd really like a source citation on it.)
Meanwhile, that set off my BS detector, so I stopped reading. I don't think terrorism is an acceptable way to sell products, won't patronize them.
