I too have a trailer like Peter's, with bunks located under two of the bulkheads. I rig on the trailer - being careful to stand only on the ground for most of the process. For stepping the mast and setting the wedges, I stand only on the forward thwart, preferably over one of the two bulkheads there. Then I back the trailer down the ramp and launch. I'm usually somewhere with docks, so I raise sail at the dock, cast off, and sail away. If I'm beach launching, I'll row out a bit, then raise sail. Or... if there are offshore winds, I might just push off and drift away from shore while I raise sail and tighten the downhaul.
