This is the first video of a new format - small things that can make your cat sailing life easier. Here we're firstly looking at putting the trolley under the boat which sounds, and should be simple but many people struggle to make it look easy. then hoisting the mainsail, so obvious once you see it. Then an easy upgrade, making attaching and detaching your mainsheet sooooooo much easier. I hope that this is all helpful.

Here is perhaps a tip for the sailors who want to take the mainsail in the HC16 maximum closde, but do not want to give up the comfort of a quick opening.
There are three different sizes of Hobie Cat original shackle (s,m and L). I took a hobie "s" shackle for the mainsheet, where I had lost the bolt, and drilled it on the thread side on (4.8 mm). Afterwards I took a patent pin https://hobiesailing.de/index.php?a=1089 and connect this with an aramid thread on the shackle. So on the HC 16 I was able to close the mainsheet as usual and sail closed gap. Then I fixed the whole shackle with another aramid thread on the main block. So I couldn't lose it.
For the attachment of the mainsheet system to the Traveler, I also used a patent pin. https://youtu.be/V8ufsts8KYI?t=135
