There have been 13, 15, 17 and 18' whalers in the grand canal for many years. You will not have a problem with the 15 nor 17 in this location via a sand mooring. I have shore moored my 18 Outrage and now a 15 SSL on Balboa Island with no problems in the last 10 years. The only issue that I have found is that you need to be careful when pulling it close to the beach as you tend to run aground and "sand" the bottom paint off the keel.
As mentioned earlier in the discussion, the 17 is probably a better all-around solution for you in this harbor.
