I've never been there but I've heard good things about the river at Yamba and it's not that far from Coffs.
Geoff,
Yamba is about a 3 hour drive from Coffs and Coffs is a quick 2 hour drive from Port Macquarie.
For flat water the best place at Port Macquarie is the river. Because the Hastings River winds around a fair bit there is bound to be somewhere you can sail and get a longer run than just going from one side to the other. Queens Lake down at Lauriton is okay, its very big and there is a good launch area there on the south side.
Wineman has identified Stuarts Point as having an excellent reach of about three kms in a North Easter. That would be over an hour and a half drive from Port Macquarie.
