I've always thought the tear down and re-build time was wuite reasonable on the Tornado. The 8'6" boats still need to drop the mast and stow the rigging. I've seen how difficult it is to disassemble the hulls of a TheMightyHobie18...compared to Tornado it's a nightmare! There are only 10-12 bolts for the beams on the T and a speed hand wrench makes very fast work of them. The tramps come in several versions over the years, some pretty much like to suggest...only laced at the rear beam. Can't get much better than that. One boat that is really nice to disassemble...the Dart 18. It's got spring-loaded clips that lock the beams in place instead of bolts. No center or dagger boards to secrue.
