Craig, Sorry I can't give you an exact time to coil shrouds, but it's a reasonably fast process. I'd estimate it won't take more than 5 minutes if you have strips of plastic shopping bags precut, and a roll of duct tape lying on the sail locker. On the M15 you are only coiling the forestay and the two shrouds. When I've finished coiling them I fasten the coils to the horizontal mast - again using my plastic bag strips and duct tape. They ride happily that way for the distances I travel - 250 miles up to Lake Champlain and back. If I were going cross country, I'd probably remove all shrouds and stow them, coiled, in the cabin. After a trip like that, half an hour more to rerig everything is perfectly acceptable. It saves on wear and tear on the trip. Connie
