Out of the sunshine coast, brisbane, down to Byron. Where along this coast line do you reckon is the best location for sailing to live?
If you could relocate where wud you go? So far I'm liking the look of Byron or up at mooloolaba?
Other suggestions?
cool
You're all dreaming ...
REDCLIFFE.
5 knots more wind than anywhere else in SE QLD on ANY given day. Undebateable.
It could do with a few more waves and some chicks however ...(both coasts beat it on that front).
i agree
. considering the amount of wind and sailing you can get regardless of wind direction, somewhere between redcliff, manly and wello and viccy point would be the ideal, even with the water looking like diarrhea. if u like to sail in the early mornings before work, seems like southern goldcoast is the spot
Just comparing it on my own experiences sailing at the Train and at Queen's beach. Train can often seem really muddy and uninviting and give the impression the water's full of rubbish, broken bottles, hypodermics etc.
Water off queens on Wednesday was gorgeous - just gorgeous.
Just my opinion.
you could try Boreen Point (Lake Cootharaba)
1. Great sailing spot
2. Has a great pub
3. friendly locals
4. Stray backpackers
5. See points 2 and 4
6. If you break your gear on the other side you just walk back
Queens Beach is my favourite. Been sailing Bris for 18 years now. It's hard for me to go anywhere else. (I live 5mins away too).
Sean if you there on Wed.........chicks. You would have been impressed. IKW77 will confirm that thought for sure. It was like being at Coro's WA with the euro's. ![]()
Seems like everyone has their own ideas i do agree with Redcliffe having more wind but personally i believe not a nice place to live and not much work. Manly and Wello both good also but a bit of a drive unless you live local and then you need money..........like Vando.
Obviously i pick the Gold Coast except in Westerly(but it is possible) the down side is the Broad Water gets very busy especially in the school holidays, parking and roads are getting congested also.I hear what people are saying about the dirty water but mate last week i was sailing with dolphins and the water was crystal especially high tide, anyway theres always the ocean, most of the time you can live on the Goldie and be 15 mins from your favorite spot, anyway we are full go to Noosa!
yous are all dreaming,
you gotta drive to get the best of all conditions,
redcliffe doesn't have any flat water, brisbane has the mud and goldy has the traffic!
best place is the redlands. ![]()
5mins to VP (S-SE), 30 mins to wello (SW,W,NW,N,NE), 35 mins to southport (SE,NE), 45 minutes to redcliffe (SE,NE) ![]()
the wind moves around ![]()
as far as girls, sean i've seen your facebook page mate. seems the best girls hang around the PWA/Formula sailors. ![]()
and vando's not rich, he is just better than everyone else so gets a good sponsors deal. ![]()
Whatever you do don't make the same mistake as me and move to an inner city suburb. ![]()
Move to Redcliffe, Sandgate, Redlands - anywhere Bayside where you can smell the beach.
If you move move to a Brisbane suburb your soul will die a little everyday. ![]()
uhm, sounds like a place to visit!
there u go MrSpaggiari
the best place to live is:
Broadwater
Wello
Viccy point
Manly
Redcliffe
Queers
&
redland bay
Hope that cleared things up ![]()
Give it time Haircut, we haven't had
Yorkies
Green Island
Alva Beach
Bowen
East Mackay
Yeppoon
Burrum
etc etc yet
No no don't even consider moving further north we've got it all......
"water looking like diarrhea"
"muddy and uninviting and give the impression the water's full of rubbish, broken bottles, hypodermics etc."
"gets very busy especially in the school holidays, parking and roads are getting congested also.I hear what people are saying about the dirty water but mate last week i was"
I was thinking Byron, its a bit far but close enough for family. But now I've heard about heaps of sharks at Byron.... Ahhhhhhh man. ![]()
I could sacrifice flat water, so maybe red cliff? ![]()
I guess it depends what the winds are most of the time aye? that would be those from the north in summer, and south in winter, and that makes things tricky. ![]()
