Overnights, you will not likely notice. A contest worth, if the weather is nice, again, you probably won't notice if you do one or two of these a summer. Tie it out all summer, you will notice.

As Tony said, for a 15 meter ship like the Std Cirrus, it is about as much time to cover as to rig. But with covers, you aren't lifting heavier things. If your trailer is a pain, do something about it!

For overnights to make the weekends more enjoyable, by all means, tie out.
