The first time or two it seems very awkward and hard. Once you've done the
whole
process it becomes very quick and simple. I can assemble mine on the bow of my
boat (with not much room) in about 10 minutes or so. Then I pick it up over the
lifelines and lower it over the side by hand. No hoist needed. I usually use a
halyard to retrieve it, but I've also done that by hand when in a hurry.

How does it tow???
