I never had a problem with mine rotating when coming ashore no matter what the speed. The big pain with my Condor was the rudder design. They were not of a kickup design, you had to reach down and pull a T handle on each one to get them to unlock. As far as flying into shore, I did mean that as a joke. I do recall (going to give my age away a bit) seeing a Sizzler coming in and neither rudder kicked up then the boat came to a screeching halt on the beach with one guy in the trap. Let's just say it was breezy that day and the guy in the trap got to go flying when the boat tipped on it's side. For those of you too young to know what a Sizzler was it was an all aluminum cat that to me had to be about as ugly as an Aqua Cat.
