hello all
I have a 1967 Kittiwake 23 that I trailer sail... our local lake here has 2 mast cranes set away from the ramps.... I use one to raise or lower the mast... it takes me 30 minutes to do the standing rigging and make sure the running rigging is not fouled up or twisted... then I launch my boat and walk it around the pier to the back side and then I rig the sails and make sure everything is inspected and ready to go... then all my passengers or crew are assigned their positions and we spend the day sailing.... when stowing the mast, it takes me a little longer (45 min) to get it set for the trip home... I am picky about how everything is stowed on the boat for traveling.... our lake has a motor restriction on it... no motor over 9.9 hp is allowed on the lake... my motor mounts inside my sailboat in a motor well, so no one sees it....
I always get many of the fisherman over looking at my boat and sometimes some of the power boaters too... when I launch or recover my sailboat with the trailer, it takes about 5 minutes then I pull the trailer out and go park it...
sincerely
Jess
