Hoping to get on the water this Friday with formual gear (hopefully the NE will cooperate). Would Wangi be potentially windier or are they pretty similar ?How do they compare in terms of launching etc ?

I know Coal Pt gets heaps more than Marmong in a NE so I'd imagine Wangi would be better than Marmong. I used to sail off the Scout club at Wangi on the N side years ago .There were no moored boats then like there are now..grr.
It gets less wind than Coal but is less choppy more regular roller type waves.

Hi Peter,

I live and sail straight off Arcadia Vale park (NE is dead onshore). Perfect place to sail formula in a NE. You can pretty much sail up and down the the lake from wangi to belmont in open clean breeze.

Marmong is the place to sail if you are not confident in wind and choppier conditions though. Can get quite strong and choppy off wangi point.

Peter,

Come to Marmong on Saturday, there will be people to help with your gear & sail with, even if you don't race. You could do a race or 2 & you will not be in the way, we have guys who are not so good. The NE is supposed to be good & you don't want too much wind. Marmong is a bit lighter than Wangi but has less weed.

Sunday will apparently be even windier & you can always have another go on the 10m then. But there is a place called Shingle Splitters point at Balcolyn which is closer for you, better launch, excellent NE wind & never has weed. It would be the go on Sunday but Marmong is worth the extra miles on Saturday.
