Our biggest obstacle is we don't get out as much as we want, so we don't get as much practice with it as we need. It takes about 45 minutes to get rigged and loaded. Buy the boat, you and your wife will love it..we went from a Santana 21 to the MacGregor 26, and now my wife enjoys sailing instead of enduring it!
