The only thing faster to rig than a Hobie 16 is maybe an A cat. The only thing slower to rig than two guys on an Inter 20 is...one guy doing it alone! Still, when I raced mine with my son, I could do it alone in under an hour, as long as he stayed out of the way!

It only looks intimidating, it's not that big a deal once you have done it a few times, but you will never be as fast rigging any spinnaker boat vs. a Hobie 16.

The "really good crew" will always be an issue if you want to race a 20 foot anything, or an F18. That is why some like the F16 class, you can race solo if crew is an issue or two up if you have crew. And as the Alter Cup crews just proved, it's not a "light air, light crew only" type boat.
