[quote=Dogboy]180 lbs, you are basically at the ideal design weight for the 17. I'm not familiar with the SC, but have sailed and raced the H17 for over 10 years. They are pretty simple, easy to sail, fun, and reasonably well built (they have their quirks, but all boats do). If you are ok with lifting the H16 mast, then the 17 should be no different. Rigging time is quick if you keep the rudders on you are looking at 20-30 minutes realistically. Add another 5-10 if you remove the rudders. They really are pretty simple boats. Definitely inspect closely for cracks in the crossbars (including removing the crossbars either before or after you purchase). That is the main weak point in the design IMO.
