well i certainly did not mean to offend (my ability to offend without intent is a well documented occurrence), but almost every person i see sail up the beach (Hobie beach) where i sail... does so because they do not know the proper way to land a cat. I did it myself when i first started... and i saw the look in peoples eyes as my boat came toward them...

I was unaware you had 20 years expeiriece... but it still sounds dangerous and an accident waiting to happen to me.

I still feel if you are sailing into a beach, with unpredictable obstacles (people) you do not have full control of the situation, hence... out of control
