i had to beach my boat when i lost my genny in 40 knot winds ( my
furler foil broke ) at low tide i had 1 foot of water on the shore side, and i mean 1 foot till the beach not one foot deep. i was able to get my self off, using my
anchor and my sails along with high tide. first i got the boat to lean out by sail and
anchor off a halyard, then used the waves to bounce the boat 45 degrees to the beach with the anchor off the stern to a
winch and lots of tension. then when tide came in ( i was still at 15 degrees of heel ) i kept lots of tension to the anchor and ran the engine in reverse blowing lots of water under the keel loosening it more till it came free. it took me 4 hours to get off but i did it.
