It takes 2 hours to assemble a Tornado from a breakdown trailer. Tearing it down takes 1 hour. At least for us when we both had good routines and knew the job.

We tore it down completely every time. With a tilt trailer you can save quite some time as the trampoline can be attached and you can actually trailer the mast rigged over very short distances.

Contact Mike Dobbs for tilt trailer info.

You can get in touch with a great Tornado community over at the Yahoo group: TornadoCat

The Tornado is an incredible boat, but without mast up storage or a thriving Tornado fleet close by I would not go for one and I love that boat. I sailed and owned tornados for 8 years.. They are quite hard to get the best from.
