If I hurried, I could have it rigged on the beach with the sail up in less than 5 minutes. Piece of cake.., never had a an easier boat -- even more simple than a Laser or Sunfish.

Couple of tips:
1) You don't need to take the mast apart -- the mast is not that long anyway, so I leave it in one piece and tie it to the boat.
2) I leave the shrouds connected to the mast
3) Upon arrival, I put the base of the mast on the ball, use the tail end of the halyard and tie it to the bridle wire in the middle
4) Raise the mast. If you keep forward pressure on the mast, you don't even need the retainer pin.., haven't used one in a couple of years now.
5) Retrieve the bridle wire attached to the halyard and connect the forestay.
6) I always leave the rudders on as well.
7) Take boat off trailer and on to beach wheels
8) Hoist sail, hook up clew and go sailing. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
