Just about to leave for Ventura marina. Trying to cut down amount of
time taken to put boat in water. Don't have to put rudder assembly on
...already there. Mast has forestay attached with built in slack to
enable foot to go over step, but without worrying that mast can get away
from me. Boom is already attached to mast (modified gooseneck to allow
boom to pivot 90 deg). Traveller and main sheet assembled on boom,
traveller has snap hooks both ends. Motor is mounted. Have snap hook for
main, jib, and topping lift. Halyards and main sheet color coded.
Have used boat three times since purchase. !st. launch approx. 2hrs. ,
2nd. approx. 1hr. 20min. , 3rd. approx. 35 min. with an intelligent
helper. Here's hoping that all my little schemes pay off....I'll be
satisfied with 20 min. to get ready and 10 min. to put in water and park
the trailer.
Will report on results.
