Lot's of people are struggling to recover back to the mat’s and I thought it might be worth dropping a video on how to recover back to a beach here, at KGSC.

Key Points

• Approach slowly, releasing the sail so that it flaps.

• Raise the daggerboard and rudder to ensure they do not ground out.

• In an onshore wind, approach on a broad reach.

• In a cross shore wind, approach on a beam reach.

• In a offshore wind, approach on a close hauled course.

• Ensure the boat has stopped, by turning it into the wind, before stepping into the shallow waters.
