How long should it take to get my daysailor from the car tothe water? I think I might be doing something wrong - it takes me about 30 minutes.

It takes me about ten minutes

It takes me about ten mintues, but I've done it a few times. The trick is to attach the mast to the tabernackle then attach the shrouds before raising the mast. Lift the mast from the rear and the shrouds will support the mast latterally. I store the mainsail on the boom with all the control lines other than the halyards attached. Slot the the boom into the mast and the boat is pretty much rigged. I put the rudder on before I put the boat in the water, but you need to be certain there is enough clearance to avoid grounding out on the ramp. I also put my outboard on while the boat is still on the trailer to avoid risking losing it off the dock. Good luck. Justin
