Hey everyone, I'm new to sailing but recently purchased a complete and sailable Hobie 16 for 300 dollars with trailer. I've taken it out twice so far, once with an experienced sailor and the other time with just myself and my wife. Well the second time we nose dived the boat and almost tipped over onto the boats side. We don't have the traps set up yet and I only have 1 trapeze wire. So this has all been a learning experience for me but very fun indeed.

Anyway, my question is, I need to move my boat and must lower the mast in order to do so. How do I do this? I know I need to release all three attached cables and walk it down. But are there any tricks or useful tips you guys could give me before I attempt this on my own? Thanks for any and all help!
