he goes aground which is every other time he sails)


I used to run aground everytime I went out. I would sail that Sunfish
right onto the beach. The rudder kicked up. The boat was designed to
run aground that is, be operated from the sand, no dock or whatever.
Fun was launching into 2 to 3 foot square waves, the kind 25 kt of
wind gives you in a shallow lake. A Sunfish will fly with enough wind.
