Many moons ago I sailed a monohull Force 5. While coming in from the ocean (SC Coast, Debordieu Beach) I was swamped from an aft wave and it rolled me in 3 feet of water and snapped my mast.

Now I am taking my new to me H18 and would like to know your tips on avoiding a major repair when launching and landing at the beach. What level of waves is the boat steady in? What size waves should this newbe avoid?

Thank you!!
