I have actually had some really good sails on swan lake. I don't think the trees are that much of an issue. Used to go there every year for holidays, but some 10+ years ago. The Nor Easter comes down the lake really nicely. Some of my best sailing memories are on that lake sailing a sea breeze from midday until dark in 20-30knots of wind... completely exhausted and packing in the dark. It is definately worth a look for a holiday destination with water that is not busy with people.

oooh i love a good differing opinion.

btw keef I am now in the market for a commuter, could you be a legend and measure from the back of the seat (the first row of passenger seats you left in) to the rear door so I know what will and won't fit. ta

Lol I'm sure if it's just me in the front it will be ok lol. So the boards don't quite fit behind the seats?

the board in the blue bag is a CA55 2400, the one under it a rrd 125 2400, so yes they fit behind the seat but you wouldnt get any thing longer
edit yes you would remembering the nose can sit under the seat , ill have a look tomorrow and send you a PM

maybe if you put a longer board in tail first it could go under the seat

thought id stick it up here just in case someone else is looking at a gas commuter forgot to take the gas tank and frame into consideration, the nose of the CA55 to the back door is 3000, theres a rrd 125L\2400x700 in the red bag above it , the rrd wont fit under the seat because of the frame , with some adjustment it would fit because the inside measurement of the seat is 800 hope that helps
