Quick and easy, not to be trusted for standing rigging.

Maricat sails, (1 Hobie jib), will fit most other 14s without modification. Very good condition, stock (Not race) mains, comp with battens. NSW Central Coast 02 43591729.

Main and wire luff jib, redhead sails, white/red, sail number 5005, good/fair condition, several seasons old. $700 pr. Will separate. Darcy 02 43591729 NSW Central Coast.

The rudders on your boat were only produced for a short time, you won't be able to get spares. The current style lift automatically if they hit anything. And yes, they must be locked hard down to negate heavy helm.
-
Looks good. Make sure that your mainsheet attachment to the boom, is back far enough to keep the traveller aligned, with traveller at centre of beam.
-
Your mix looks spot on to me, it is very close to what I used to use for Mannering Pks 14' cat regatta.

Turnbuckle style and plastic coated wire, or plastic tube over wire, for safety when righting.
-
Not really.
-
On dolphin strikers, I prefer to use heavier turnbuckles and 6mm pin shackles, I also use 6mm bolts and saddles for the side stay attachment.
-
Mk2 rear beam $100, your Mk1 tramp should be compatible. But I would persevere with the Mk1 system.
-
At 60kg, a flater cut main is most suitable. Couple it with a wire luff furling jib, if you wish to sail sloop or super sloop.

Sail number 5000, lightweight, foam sandwich Maricat, cat rig, top performer. Boat only, $4k V/good reg trlr w/sailbox,beach wheels and new s/sloop kit also available Mannering Pk, NSW Central Coast. Accept Mk1 or Mk2 as part trade. Fat, old skipper no longer sailing to potential. Darcy. 0243591729.

Wrap the end 30 cm of the beam in alfoil, mask off the area where the old beam sat, lay a bed of bog and bolt the Mk 2 beam in. Remove and replace beam when dry to remove alfoil.

Near new set of Redhead sails, $1200. Good used set, $800, will separate, ie, mainsail only, near new, $900 and used, $600. Rod could have a look at them next time he is up, or, at Oberon in a few weeks.
-
Yes. but as Rod says, a good sail on a solid Mk2 is a better option for club and social sailing. I do have some good race sails for sale, and some very good stock sails cheaper.

Where are you located, and price?
-
I don't know anywhere in Aus ,where anything towed behind a vehicle, does not need to be registered. I would not risk it.
-
Occasional whitecaps,10/12kts, OK. wall to wall whitecaps, 18 plus kts, stay on the beach unless rescue boat available (As it would be if club racing).

Gemini 4.8m, not bad boats. Supply of second hand parts easier if you stick to the top 3.
