And we didn't finish Amazon's rigging
This wouldn't have taken very long. As is made clear in Chapter II of SA and Chapter VI of SD, and the plan of Scarab in PM, the rigging of a standing lug sailed dinghy like Amazon consists of:-
1. Halyard
2. Downhaul
3. Mainsheet
4. (if you really want to be inclusive)Flag Halyard.
This is the joy of this type of boat. I can rig my own while people with modern dinghies are still working out which way up the jib hanks should go!
