so i got the hobie16 from the other thread i was asking about. the guy showed me how to rig it, but i wanted to practice some at home before taking it out to the beach. i just wanted to make sure that rigging it on the trailer won't hurt the cat (obviously doing with no wind). just wanted to make sure i wasn't going to damage the hulls doing this before i tried..... thanks in advance.

Most people rig the boat on the trailer. One or two people standing on the trampoline while the boat is on the trailer is not going to hurt it.

With 2 pieces of 10` conduit and a screw about 10" from the top will make a crutch that will hold the mast up a bit to aid in solo stepping. See the WWW for some pics. If the wind is lite 6 or less ill put up the main and jib. Just point her on the trailer into the wind. OH i always leave it tied to the trailer till its a few feet from the water

thanks. this is my first boat and i don't want to damage it. can't go sailing for a few days until i get the registration done, but i want to play with it now lol >.>

need to fix the gel coat in 2 spots, but other than that it's in good shape. took a whiel to find a used boat with no soft spots, but at least this way i have less to repair before i go sailing heh.
