The last time we went sailing on the maiden voyage it took us just over an hour to get everyting set up. I had the rudders off, mast bob off, all lines unattached from the boat and tied up to the mast. wings reversed and in trailering position. and motor in the back of my van.
My goal for next time is i want 20mins arriving to ready to put in. I am keeping the main furled on the boom now. the jib is furled on the forestay. i want to try leaving the rear stay lines attached to the hulls, i think there is enough line to drop the mast, rotate it, and walk it forward onto the trailer.
then i don't need to fumble with tangled lines when its time to set up. just back, rotate, gin pole and raise. I had pleanty of manpower with four people, but we were just not organized. i think we can do 20mins.
How long does it take you to rig you're 21sc? any tricks you use?
