@MrHobiecat Great idea with the clip on the forstay. My mast does not have cleats at the bottom. I don't know why but to me its easy to lift the mast. I just get some velocity on it and up it goes. The helium in the mast helps.
I always remove the boom by un-doing the shackle on the traveler, and the pin at the gooseneck. My beach is 20 min drive away with about 10 min of that on the highway, so I normally leave the rudders on any further and I remove them. To hold them in place I use two bungees, one one each side. The bungee goes from the trailer up and over the tiller crossbar and back down to the trailer. This makes sure the tiller crossbar does not move up and unlock the rudders allowing them to drag on the road.
