Yesterday was launch day for my Allied 36. The boat was located in a storage facility about a mile from the launch ramp. The hauler showed up with his boom truck to load the masts at about 10:10. After we loaded the two masts he pulled the boom truck aside and got the truck with the hydraulic trailer. We loaded the boat and hauled it over to the Manset town dock/ramp. The hauler went back to the yard and got his boom truck with the masts while I spent a few minutes on board emptying the cockpit locker so I could access the radar cable after the mizzen was stepped - it tends to end up on top of the prop shaft. When the hauler got back with the boom truck he set up and we stepped the main and then the mizzen. Once the mizzen was up, I went into the cockpit locker and pulled the radar cable off of the prop shaft and made sure it was out of the way. At that point we were ready to launch the boat. The hauler backed the boat over to the ramp, waited a couple of minutes for a barge to move and then backed me down into the water. I started the engine, then backed off the rest of the way and headed to my mooring to rig the fenders and dock lines before heading over to the marina. The entire launch process including stepping two masts took one hour forty minutes from the time the hauler arrived with the boom truck to load the masts to the time I was motoring away from the launch ramp. Stepping two masts is not a big deal
