The mast on my WWP 15 pivots in situ, it then only overhangs the stern by about 2ft, but I can stand on the boat and lift the mast, very easily done, takes just a minute or 2, helps being 6ft 4 though i guess.
Nice video though, stunning boat

Very slick. I wish rigging and launching my CP-23D were that simple. I see you sail on Joe Poole. We lived in Duncanville during the 70s and 80s. Joe Poole didn't exist then. It was just beginning to collect water as we moved away. It looks like a great recreation area now. Enjoy your WWP.

@DrJohn40 Hi Dr. John- my WWP15 is a 1998. The newer ones should be even easier to rig because they have a hinged step mast.

Nice Job!! I had a 19 and kept it at a slip since single handed launching was such a hassle. Lately I crew on my friend's 310 Benetau. I've thought about getting another WWP, and you've covinced me that launching a 15 is quite doable - Thanks!

Small boat sailing is the best!... its less fuss, and costs so little to simply have some fun with the wind and sails!.. great video!...
Thanks for sharing! One of the things in looking at trailer sailors is what it takes to step the mast. This looks like it is a snap for one person.

Yes sir, it really is a snap. Sometimes I find a way to make it difficult though! :)
