sander06 is on a distinguished road
I got the same thing going in about two weeks down in Punta Gorda, Fl. I got a rigger who's lining up a crane. The rigger is going to do all of the monkey work to step the mast on the keel and hookup all of the stays, shrouds and roller furler. I just plan on taking lots of pix and asking questions. He said it takes about two weeks in the water for the boat to achieve some kind of a final hull shape before he'll actually "tune" the rigging. Our rigger charges $75/hour and should be worth the cost, especially since I only plan on doing this once in the forseeable future.

Good luck with the adventure!!
