Macca,
ya bladdy whinging Pom, you have no idea of the conditions at most American regattas.

Most of the time we have to rig the boat, on the trailer, in a parking lot and Cat Trax it down to the beach.
Most of us travel with our wires on.
Many of us also travel with our rudders on.
I know of one Tiger sailor who installed a bracket on his trailer mast support in order to travel with his spin pole rigged.
He has cut his rigging time in half.

We often have a lack of beach space for boats at our regattas.
Rolling boats in on Cat Traxs takes up far less room than bringing in hulls first and then stepping masts in the middle of a crowded beach.

One person is able to step the mast on the trailer, pull the boat off onto the Cat Trax, roll it down to the beach and rig the sails.

It is much more work to unload the mast, find a SAFE PLACE(YES, I have seen a mast run over by a car)to put it, unload the hulls and roll/carry them to the beach, unload and untangle the various wires, place the mast on the boat, attach the wires to the mast and boat, step the mast, attach the trapeze bungies and rig the sails.

It looks like YOU are doing it the "hard way".
