Wrap-type or pita-bread sandwiches are probably a good bet for lunch. They're pretty self-contained and simple to make.
Dinner is a bit tougher... since you can't heat anything. Might be a good idea to stick with sandwiches for both.

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.

I know what not to bring for dinner. I was navigator on a a boat this summer doing an overnight race. The skipper provided us with cheese and beef jerky...nothing else. On my boat the warden usually makes sandwich rolls using pita bread, also lots of fresh fruit.

If sandwiches or subs pack them in waterproof bags. Bought Subway subs one time and anticipated all morning. At noon when we went into cooler for them they had fallen to bottom of cooler among half melted ice. what a dissapointment!
Subs are good though just pack each in waterprrof baggie or something. Some snack food is good as well.
Might also want a 4th crew member as cold and fatigue will be a factor. Gets pretty cold at night!
One thought - a very good thermos might keep soup hot/warm enough to be gtood half way thru the race.
Prior to a 5 day sail from Bermuda to Cape Cod we were provisioning in a local grocery store. Someone picked up a box of Pop Tarts and was castigated by one of the more health conscious members of the crew. Our navigator who has done a lot of blue water sailing over-ruled him and we took a lot of boxes of Pop Tarts. It turns out they are great on a boat. Self contained packages that are not affected by moisture, they are filling, the carbs work well to keep your stomach fluids from sloshing around and getting you seasick and they do not make a mess. I now keep a few boxes on my boat for the simple reason they don't go bad. Granola bars and such also work, but they're not as filling. Even though we had some great provisions and meals during that sail, all the Pop Tarts got eaten. Oh, and the health conscious crew member who didn't want them and didn't eat any.... He was the only that got seasick on the voyage.
