Andrei, Whether you need to people to rig (or alternatively more gear) depends on yourself. I have no trouble raising the mast myself without help or winching it.
As to the time, that varies a lot from person to person too and goodness knows I'm at the slow end of the spectrum so 45 minutes would be a good time for me. I'll bet there are people who could make the 30 minute mark, though. Tod Mills M17 #408, 1987 galley model BuscaBrisas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrei Caldararu Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 4:58 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: M_Boats: Perhaps the M-17 is not for me... M-15? Hello all, from what I hear from everyone, it seems like the M-17 is a bit too hard to single handedly rig and launch in a short time: I understand I should expect 45 minutes to rig/derig, and need two people. I would have liked to be on the water in 20-30 minutes, alone. Is the M-15 better in this respect? And, perhaps more importantly, how can one find a good condition M-15 in the midwest? (I am in Wisconsin, but I am willing to travel within 250 miles of here.)
