[quote=beachsailor]At low tide we have about 150ft of beach. I sail the boat to the sand if the surf is up.. If the surf is small I will spin the boat into the wind while still in the water. Get the tracks under the boat but keep it bow heavy. Adjust the sails and sail the boat up the beach leading the boat by the bows. When you get to where you want the boat spin the boat into the wind and it will settle right down on the strearns. I usually furl the jib or leave it very loose. Trim the main just enough to keep the boat moving. Just like being on the water adjusting course up the beach you can power and depower. Flying a wheel can be done but not recommended.
If the beach is steep it is easier to make two diagonal passes vs going straight up the beach.[/quote]
