2. check out the trailer: lights, hitch, wheels. 
3. help stepping your mast
4. adjust your rigging so your mast stands straight!.
5. attach the sails:. jib or genoa to fore-stay or roller furl system. 
6. mainsail to boom and mast.
7. getting the boat to the water (even backing the car down the ramp).
8. moving the boat off the trailer and into the water.
