I have successfully rigged in the garden and then packed away ready to trail. Took me several hours, but part of that was faffing! Think it should be pretty doable once I get more practiced at it. Just need to pick a quiet day at my local loch to get sailing! G

Thanks Steve! My first boat I have owned since I was 16 when I had a Topper! Hope this gets sailed a bit more than that one did. I didn't have my own car, so getting anywhere to take it out sailing was hard! 55 year old me has a bit more self-determination than 16 year old me! G

You’ll be fizzing along in your new boat, thinking about ‘16 year old you’ with a big smile on your face😎 Won’t be long now.
