I seen a guy at lake catharaba open his garage walk across the road with his already rigged kit and was on the water in 30secs, i was pretty envious.
Theres a guy on the Gold Coast sails at the train, who has a check list and tape measure, i have seen him take so long that the coinditions have changed by the time hes rigged and he has to de rig and change sails, and on it goes.
