I'm headed to Port Aransas, Tx tomorrow for the weekend. I'm taking my Laser and hope to launch and sail off the gulf side of Mustang Island. I've never sailed in the surf before and will be self launching/recovering. I have a small dolly to get the boat into the water but I'm not overly worried about scratches on the bottom right now. More worried about not getting hurt or destroying the boat. A couple of years ago I had taken my Butterfly sailboat down to the same beach but chickened out in actually launching the boat (not sure a small scow is a good choice in waves). The waves are usually 3' and coming in pretty steady. The wind will also be blowing onshore from the water. The forecast is for 8-12 knt winds. And suggestions/hints would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve
