Check the following.... Sealed Mast, Some type of rope righting system, if you solo the hobie in wind conditions under 10 knots/h you will need a water bag or a righting pole. Unsheet Jib and Main .... not so much because they could trap water... that should run out to the rear - More to avoid acceleration and the risk of capsizing to the other side once you get the boat up.
Pivoting the boat to that 45* angle as shown in the pic is difficult. While standing on the lower hull move your weight forward until the rear of the hull points out of the water and the bows are submerged. The rotation that you create this way is slow... sometimes it seems to stop and rotate backwards. Try to get a feel when you have reached the max of rotation - then move back use the rope righting system of your choice and try to be as heavy as you can. When the boat becomes uptight reach for dolphin striker or X-bar to avoid capsizing to the other side.
