A good trick I have learned at 3rd on those low tide days is to sail fin
first. You stand between the mast and the nose, which will make the fin
stand out of the water. It is then possible to sail in 10 inches of water
(the sinking nose provide the necessary drag). Works surprisingly well
after a bit of practice. Maybe the technique could be of use in case of a
broken fin, if one is very proficient at it.
