-> Mike did a lot of re-rigging on his boat.  Virtually every line runs
-> into the cockpit just so he can single hand it.
Dan: I actually should have all the hardware necessary to rig the
halyards so that it can be sailed single-handily. It will take about an
hour to mount and fasten the hardware.

 Yes, it is trailerable, and stepping the mast is the BIGGEST problem.
Although the mast is slightly over 50 pounds, and I can almost fully
position it myself, I need a second person to haul up the final few feet
and to attach the bow stay. I could probably step it and use a second
winch to haul up the mast myself. The mast is about thirty feet with VHF
antennae included. I position the boat and loading ramp so that the mast
is stepped on the shore. I find it easier than trying to step the mast
while in the water. I also want to get a six foot ladder for climbing in
and out of the boat on land, otherwise it is very awkward to climb onto
the boat on the trailer.
