Re: [bolger] Rigging times
That's about right in time. Takes me 15
minutes to get the mast up, motor on, sail attached, etc. Quicker getting
it down actually. But then I've seen power boaters putts around for at
least that long getting everything ready too! Should I ever build another
sail boat, it will have a tabernacle set up. I don't care for swing a mast
around in a busy parking lot!

However, I think the manufactures have a differnt definiation
of "trailable" than I do...
Some of them are advertising "Easy setup!, only 45 minutes to rig the
boat from trailer to water!"
My arrive at ramp to sail away time is less than 15 minutes. Put up
time is about 20. And, I have to step and unstep the mast, and tie
the sail to the mast. I leave the sail tied to the boom and gaff.
I expect, if I had a tabernacle, I could get that down to under 10
for both put in and take out.
So, is this about normal? Am I just quick? :-)
You Bolgerists who trailer your boats, what is your time to from
asphalt to water?
