Hoping to get out on Wednesday for a blast. Where is a good place to launch in Botany Bay on a Westerly. ?

Prefer to stay to close(driving wise) to Kyeemagh, so I get more time sailing.

Can you launch from the foreshore drive? and does it work in a westerly? Or would la parouse be better?, and where would you suggest rigging?

Also been launching from the little beach at Kyeemagh, in northerlies and southerlies from the little beach near the control tower, is there a better spot around there to launch?

In a westerly you can sail at Sandringham (by the Captain Cook bridge)

Instead of the small beach you are going to be better off launching at the end of Bestic Street (once the buoys have been removed)

NW - W best place is kurnel - bump and jump
W- SW La paruse - bump and jump
both these locatiosn will have semi onshor or cross shore winds in a westerly that builds up over botany bay

SW - S sandringham if you want really flat water for speed sailing. especially good when it goes deep south and is lowish tide so the sand bar comes out.
