I should have read your location (Anglesea) <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Since you start from a protected area then getting started off the beach shouldn't be an issue. Be completely ready to launch (no last minute panicks). Wait for a lull in the sets of waves for some flat water and go for it. Just remember to keep the traveller set about half way out so that you don't luff into the wind and waves. Once you have a rudder and centreboard down and some speed then you can think about re-setting the traveller and pointing higher.

If you have already sailed catamarans and are looking to improve your performance when broad reaching or running always try to sail downhill (never sail into the back of waves). Travel along the trough until you see an opening then go through it. There will always be an opening somewhere along the wave. Sailing into the back of waves is just like putting the brakes on. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Sailing into the waves also requires a bit of skill. Luff into a breaking wave face so that you don't get knocked sideways then bear away once over the back of it to get speed back up.

Coming back to the beach make sure that both centre boards are removed from the cases and secured on the trampoline. Raise one rudder so you only have to think about one item. As you get close to shore raise that rudder and turn into the wind. Back the Mozzie into shallow water and get it up the beach as fast as you can (assuming that you have 1m beach swells nad breaking waves).

Hope this helps.
