Melonseed skiff, or Chamberlain Dory Skiff. Both have sprit rigs, the Melonseed is cat rigged, the Dory is a yawl with balance jib. I can get underway in the 'seed in about ten minutes: unroll the sail, insert the sprit and boom, attach the sheet, off we go. The yawl takes longer, but not much, because all three sails have the same procedure. Traditional rigs without stays are quick to set up. They're also fun, and not slow.
