i know its tough when you're a begginer and you've never seen anyone do it before. i don't live in NY but you might want to check this out:



http://www.nahca.org/hobies/h16assemblymanual.pdf



there's a pretty comprehensive section on stepping.



Also "catamaran sailing from start to finish" by Phil Berman is an essential book to own for any catsailor.



if you're really stuck on something i'd be happy to help by talkin you through it if you can't find anyone in your area. just email me and i'll give you my # if you get desperate.



good luck and happy sailing.
