Fit the daggerboards into the daggerboards wells. The
daggerboard roller shock cord should be tight enough
to prevent the daggerboard from slipping down.

your assistant hang from the trapeze or you can use
mainsheet tension on one side at a time so that you
can adjust the shroud position in the side stay adjus-

Always wash traveller and blocks with fresh water after
use in salty water.
Always wear your Hobie buoyancy vest,
look out for overhead power lines
