See my reply in the repairs forum. :)

Regarding bundling up the shrouds & lines for trailering... I bring everything up to the mast & forward, and use plenty of bungees to hold it all in place.

What lines to use? See the parts diagrams in the catalog. Lengths, line diameter and typ is shown there.
