Used to sail Stocko heaps up until 10 years ago, parents lived there. There used to be 6 or so sailboarders sailing there all the time, but as you said not many now, mainly kiters. Not much good for wave sailing, the noreasters too onshore, but great for blasting out the back parallel to the beach. Only good for wave sailing in a southerly, pretty well side shore. In the harbour pretty good in a cranking noreaster and tide running out, especially during big seas as the swell can be nearly mast high coming in the harbour. Seen quite a few hammerheads while sailing Stocko.
