I may try that.
Pepin taught me a neat trick. When coming to shore downwind, make a pass at the beach, when you're directly up wind of the place you want to land, come head to wind. Once the boat stops pull up the foils, ease the sheets and stand as far forward as possible to lift the transoms out of the water. You'll drift down to the spot you chose with perfect control and no drama.
That's basically what I do, but I don't ease the sheets. When they are tight the boat will weather vane and resist's rotating. I get all the way to the bridle and ride it in.
