I hope your mate is recovering well and has not sustained any life changing injuries.
Could you please keep us keep us aware of his condition
I would be very interested to hear his story as I think many could benefit from hearing it
I am really struggling to understand why any one would try and fly a kite in that area and those winds
Technically Drummoyne is not on Sydney Habour and not covered as part KA NSW no go zone.
It is though part of Port Jackson which covers all tidal waters of North Habour, Middle Habour, The Lane Cove, Sydney Habour and the Parramatta River.
Personally I would never kite any where on Port Jackson. Not just because it is part of a No Go Zone but having sailed most of that area in skiffs and keel boats I know how turbulent the wnd is in there.
I think that KA NSW should deem the whole of Port Jackson a No Kiting Zone.
Ian, you are picking at straws again. Very few people today including Google Maps call Sydney Harbour by its other name of Port Jackson.
I was involved with AKSA as it was known back then when the bans were implemented, and I attended meetings with the NSW Maritime as it was known then. NSW Maritime (Now RMS NSW) made it very clear that kiting was banned on ALL of Sydney Harbour and they definitely intended that to mean the various bays and waterways to the west of the harbour bridge.
Do a google search and see if anything other than Port Jackson Bay comes up on the first page.
For sure though the no go map should extend to cover all of the waterways inside of the Sydney Harbour heads, including the Lane Cove River and the Parramatta River.
Here is a definition of Port Jackson from a google search of the term.
Condolences.
