The last time I was in Boradkill, about a year ago, it was ~6' MLW.

Growing up i cant ever recall much in the way of sailboats that were NOT trailer boats
Buy the same token the Rehoboth back bays are a windsurf/kiteboard meca because of the shallow water

There was a good jetty and light, but yes, it is not for large monohulls. There are really no deep harbors on the south shore, just the Maurice and the Cohanasey on the north shore.
I have always thought that entering a harbor to "bail" was the start rather than end of trouble, particularly on entrances that are shallow and open to waves. I often go in smaller harbors, many of them on the Delaware, but in fair weather when I have planned it that way. They are more intersting. But I have also changed plans when the entrances did not look friedly due to weather.
The last time I went around the Delmarva huricane Bill had just passed and ALL of the harbors on the coast from Delaware to Chesapeake were breaking, except for Chincoteague. The story is on my blog ( Sail Delmarva: Trip Reports).
