Uh, a Hobie is a BIT different than what was being talked about Steve.
The OP asked about bringing smaller boats onto the beach. A Hobie Cat
is a smaller boat that's brought onto the beach. Dragging them on the
beach does do damage to the bottoms of the hulls eventually.

A Hobie is more like a dink than a boat!
Yeah, yeah, it floats - but it can be un-beached (even if HARD beached) by
one. Most of the boats that people do this with CAN'T.
