[quote=hobiemark]Go to hobie parts catalog and look at the convenience  packages. Will give you a good idea. 
The rings for pins with the curled in end are must.  also for the rudder pins.  stainless steel hair clips, 
they should have them at your local ace hardware,  Quickpins are nice,  you can find them on line fairly cheap. 
Suggest you spend a few $'s  about 20 to 25, get a good stainless steel multi tool, the pliers are handy when rigging. 
Your jib blocks should have a rotation adjustment for the cleat, usually loosening two screws, try it in various positions until  you find one that you like,  
Go to a local hobie regatta,  get their early and see how all those people have their boats set up to trailer, They can do it fast, so they have come up with all the short cuts, who knows if you are lucky you might get a chance to crew for someone, and learn a whole bunch. 
The rude racers, don't let a few bad apples spoil your day.  Unfortunately there are a few of those in every group,  I feel sorry for them that they cant have a good time sailing without being mad!.[/quote]
