Rick, When we trailer our 15, we tie the sail to the boom and slide boom and sail in the cabin together. Both halyards are just clipped end to end and tied to their cleats. I disconnect the forestay, (johnson lever) but the shrouds stay connected. I have a furling jib (not reefing) which attaches separately from the forestay. This also stows below. With a little creative use of half a dozen bungies to hold your shrouds, forestay and such, you should be able to rig and unrig in 15 minutes or so.

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 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
