These were dedicated parents who didn't mind rigging time.


Exactly my point. And are you serious that you can rig a Dragoon in 15 minutes? I would think that a typical sailing parent that was sailing monohulls as a non-serious hobby would freak out when presented with assembly of a spin rigged sloop cat. I often get a kick out of watching people who can't figure out an Opti and there are a surprising number of them!

We get disillusioned because we deal with it every day and the rigging becomes part of the passion for some of us. For someone who has to call a repair-man when their garage door won't open, rigging a dragoon is an unimaginable feet. (yes, I had someone call out for the day at work because their garage door wouldn't open and they couldn't get their car out...and I believe them.)
