[quote=MN3][quote]I am sorry but a gin pole adds 30-45 mins to rigging time ... ah, no !! That is like saying it takes 2-1/2 hours to rig a spinnaker boat.
Two of my trailers have an open top in the mast post and I drop the gin pole down into them. That takes about 5 seconds tops. My other trailer (as well as how a buddy of mind does it on his Trailex trailer) is to pin the gin pole to the mast post.[/quote]
Ok - let me restate this: when I owned my h18, it took ME ABOUT 15 min to put on the E-Z Step gin pole, attach all the straps, attach the forestay, crank it up, get the pin in, and take all the straps off and stow the gear. Then another 15 min in reverse later
Vs walking the mast up and pinned in 30 seconds.
Sure if you have a mounted system, or have a gin pole you have modified to work with your tralier i am sure it is much faster.
PS my cat take over an hour to rig, and i would def add an another hour to rig my spin so 2 - 2.5 hours to rig is not out of the question. - Ymmv<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Sep 01, 2021 - 08:17 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
