Hi folks,
My kit has finally turned up this morning and provided the boards are still all in one piece I'm hoping to get out at Botany this weekend. I've been in touch with Lee, is anyone else heading out there this weekend and if so where would be best to aim for?
Cheers guys,
Giles

HI Giles,

I'll probably head out to Kurnell or Sandringham, depending on the wind direction. Too much west, and I'll head down to Kurnell, if it's South-SW I'll head down to Sandringham, next to the St George Sailing Club.

There is a good thread in the archives on which areas are best in certain wind directions - but I can't find it. Must be over a year old.

Im looking to get out both Sat and Sunday. ShearTip has it right. West = Kurnell, SSW = Sandringham.

Soon we'll be talking about NE seabreezes - possibly the end of next month. What a great time of year. We're enjoying the 20kt westerlies while anticipating the onset of spring and the beginning of the seabreeze season!

Giles - come up & say hi, I'm in the blue mazda 6 wagon, katapult's in a white VW van. DavMen will be out one day this weekend too.

Where is best in a northerly in Sydney? Does Kyeemagh still work? Or is Kurnell the best bet?

Sunday will see the following at Kurnell

LBWS said...

This Sunday 14 Sep DAC Receboards will be racing with the Kurnell Cat Club for the seasons first Botany Bay Cup.

I think Kyeemagh might be OK if there is no west in the wind, we might get a little local east in it (fingers crossed) - else you could look at Dolls Point and sail with all the coighters.
Kurnell is a surer bet if you feel like the drive.

Kyeemagh is ok in Northerly. Its cross-offshore though which makes the water very flat if a little gusty.
