When could it be difficult to rig the sails?

It could be difficult to rig the sails in adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds or heavy rain, which can make handling the sails challenging and potentially dangerous. Additionally, if the boat is in rough seas, the movement can hinder the ability to properly secure and adjust the sails. Furthermore, if the rigging equipment is damaged or malfunctioning, it can complicate the process and delay sail setup. Finally, a lack of experience or crew coordination can also make rigging sails more difficult.
