A few months ago, I wrote that I must be the slowest rigger anywhere. It took me 3-1/2 hours to setup, rig and launch my 1977 M-17. I got lots of good ideas from y'all, so I thought I'd make a report. I rigged the boat single-handed, and launched in 1-1/2 hours yesterday. Four key changes made the difference. 1) An old army gas mask bag hanging from my shoulder contains all the tools I need, and holds tie-downs, reducing the number of times I have to hop up and down off the deck. 2) I leave the shrouds in their final, adjusted length so I don't have to fiddle with turnbuckles anymore. 3) A lever-action tensioner in the backstay lets me swing the mast just far enough forward of its normal position to easily attach the CDI furler and headstay. 4) a re-designed trailer tongue extension can be attached using no tools. I can't remember who sent me all these ideas, but thanks, thanks, thanks!
