Easy to rig!! But measure carefully
Tom:I have a newer C-18, and have rigged/derigged by myself many times, starting/ending with the mast down. I do have a mast raising system (much like the Macgregor system, uses baby stays and a gin pole attached to the base of the mast), but I only use it about half the time. The rest I just heave it up. Easier with help if you don't use the mast raiser.I should note that I also have roller furling, so the weight of the genoa on the furler adds a good bit to the load you need to lift.As far as height, I don't think it will go under a standard garage door. The lifeline stantions are about 7'2" on mine. Measure carefully. Also, as Tom B. mentioned, the mast is longer than most standard garages, and the boat/trailer package is considerably more than 18'.A thought, if you can handle the length, I have a friend can fit his into a standard garage door by taking the wheels off the trailer and sitting it on a very low slung dolly he built just for this. Its quite a project, he only does it for winter storage - it wouldn't work for every day type stuff.Anyway, enjoy. My wife and I love ours, sail more than we ever did on our larger boat, and are really happy with how comfortable it is for overnighting.Ask away if you have other questions.
