"The perverse side of me wants to hit the beach at full tilt with the kite up"


Done that already, boat can take it.

However, it is smarter to pull all your boards up before doing so, I was unlucky and my windward board slided down on me.

Even so I was without damage except for a small gap in my daggerboard skirt. This was on my homebuild boat and boy does Phill Brander build quality stuff.

You' ll be surprised how well a beachcat can withstand regular contact with the beach.
