Some of the UK guys have developed an uber quick way of travelling the boat.

Set the boat facing foward if your mast post is foward, lock the boat down to the trailer so it won't move, with straps. Lash / hold the prodder up and too the mast post without undoing anything including the front stays. Lower the mast to the rear with everything attached including the spinny in its sock. The prodder should stay held up in position by the mast post.

Put the mast base foward into the mast post cradle, all the stays ect should now be roughly sitting on the trapeze. Curl up all the stays and tape them to the hiking straps. Put about 3 bungies around the mast to hold any excess stay length to stop it flapping. Put a kiddies basketball or approx. that size ball into the spinny retrieve mouth and put a bit of gaffa over it to stop it coming out. Lock the mast down, remove the rear rudders etc and fit your lights, and you are on your way.

At the launch site undo the stay tapes etc, be methodical as its very easy to get the mast rotated 180 degrees, raise the mast as per normal, fix the forestay, undo the prodder and retension, remove the ball and you are underway in about 30 minutes.

The furtherest I have travelled is about 5 hours at about 70mph without any problems. Oh and don't forget to remove the mast post before taking the boat off the trailer, it tends to sstop on the prodder stays. Quick simple and you never get that spinnaker first raise problem of oops didn't get that right, issue
