bullswan,

I'm not dealing with an instant gratification problem here, thankyouverymuch, it's more a problem of schedule. With two careers and two high school kids, working a day that can be committed to a family day of setup, sail and teardown is not easy. Now a uni, on the beach that can be easily soloed would be a different matter, but that doesn't work too well for four people.

Maybe I need another boat. Or one of those robot lawn-mowers.
