Pretty accurate description of the S27. On average I'll take 2-1/2 hrs to set it up. Thats mostly by my self and I take the time to check out everything critical. Rigging down also takes a while but I have taken her apart in 45 minutes before... water to pulling out of the parking lot. Of course I had excellent help and a hurricane bearing down <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. But all in all, waking up in the middle of a lake on a cool spring morning, well it doesn't get much better than that! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And theres plenty of room for kids and friends too. I've had a dozen on her for a day of sailing and swimming. Makes her a little sluggish with about 1500# of extra people (slows me down to mono speeds!) but still a good day on the water.


Peace,
