Well it only took me a year, but I figured that if I could leave as much of the running rigging rigged that I could save time setting up. The last time I demasted I left the two halyards and the jib downhaul in place. This should save time and tangles. Does anyone do anything else along these lines (npi) to assist in setup and take down? I made a pair of shroud rollers(50"x1 1/4", white oak) that do protect the sails and look very nautical, but even better, when the mast is down the rollers do a very good job of holding the shrouds in place. There is no more mess of loops in the cockpit. Rick Langer M15 #337
