The G-Cat 5.7 is great in the waves. I think that is why I kept it all these years. It was once given the “Cadillac of Rides” rating. There was a string about a boat to ride up on beach with. I went through 3 bottoms hitting the beach over the last 25+ years; each time I had to lay-up more glass on the fine V-Hull bottom, as the years of beaching would sand it away. When we (the boat and I) were younger I’d land on the beach flying a hull.

It was easier to sail up the beach then to pull those dual knife-edges through the sand. I have never pitch poled the boat even when buried up to the center beam front tramp and all. I’ve done a few cartwheels with it though.
