[quote=2out2sea][quote=damonAdmin]When people quote "time to rig" it's almost a random number because of so many variables and peoples different definitions of "rigging" a boat.
What makes much more difference than the boat type is when you have skipper and crew who regularly rig the boat together, both know their jobs and what the other is doing, don't have to talk about it, don't have to figure out how something is supposed to be rigged, don't have to hunt down the parts needed, and don't make mistakes that have to be undone and redone.
That skipper and crew will have a short rigging time regardless of boat.

unless my daughters are replaced by aliens, i have little hope of assistance from either of them. mechanical intuition isn't a character trait that i was able to pass on to them. i'm just glad that they and their mother enjoy being on the water. i am going to be doing the rigging. unfortunately i'm wondering if the getaway might not be the best choice after all simply b/c of the front tramp. i had forgotten about that feature. guess where everyone spent their time when we were sailing. oh well. we'll see if i can convince everyone of the benenfits of going faster!!![/quote]
