[quote=MN3][quote]Totally normal landing for a 16 where I'm from. Other than depowering a little, what could be done different?[/quote]
hope you're kidding but incase your not:
you should never sail out of control - you can hurt other people
pedestrians (swimmers/standers) have right of way -and no clue (same with most kayaks, sup's, pwd, and at least 98.999% of the powerboaters i see)
if the beach is dead downwind: you can sail downwind until your close and do a 180, center your travler, release your jib (furl is better) pull up boards.. drift backwards - drop anchor or jump off in shallows
or you could reach close to the beach and turn into the wind at the correct moment[/quote]
