Your only choice is a slow approach. NO way the LRC can overplower the
waves like the 58 motoryatch. What we learned coming in some pretty sporty
inlets on the Jersey coast is to stay with the bow just about to climb the
wave in front. Try to match the speed of the waves and ride between them on
in. With the trawler its much more difficult to do this than when you had
the big wheels and horsepower to force your way thru.
I came from a Hatteras Sportfisherman and my LRC did the same thing you did
on my first rough inlet attempt. It almost spun around. I've seen the old
slow fishing headboats in Jersey spin around 180 degrees in the Cape May
inlet. The next time I was very careful to match the speed of the waves and
never go over the one in front putting the boat facing down a wave. If the
wave behind tries to catch you give it more power to just stay ahead of it.
All that said, I have never even seen 65 Hatteras LRC in person and I'm in
the club and do the web site. Its much bigger than anything I'm use to.
Best advice is to come to the Hatteras LRC Rendezvous in Baltimore Sept
18-21. Quite a few 58 LRC folks will attend, I don;t know if any 65 owners
are showing up. Talk to a few owners with tens of thousands of miles under
their keels. Feel free to contact me if your interested.
