Hi Guys, as you maybe aware I'm revamping the official website.

What I would like is the name of the place you go and the Google maps link, and I'll place this on the site so noobs can come and have a look at what we're doin.

I know most of the south arm ones, but even marion bay near the old cemetry I'm not sure of.

thanks in advance

quick tute on how to use google maps

in the address bar type maps.google.com.au

in the search type in the location ie dorans road, lauderdale
Move the map until it shows the bes description

then in the top right there is a link button click on this and copy the contents on the top line
should look like this

www.google.com.au:443/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode&q=jetty+Dorans+Road,+Sandford,+Tasmania&sll=-42.932799,147.467251&sspn=0.04556,0.111151&g=Dorans+Road,+Sandford,+Tasmania&ie=UTF8&hq=jetty&hnear=Dorans+Rd,+Sandford+Tasmania+7020&t=h&ll=-42.907909,147.411976&spn=0.093294,0.222988&z=13

Thanks

hi fos ,izaak will send our sailing spots later in the week if you still need them ,he's at hotham.

Perks, is Izaak water skiing at Hotham? my brother is up there and it's been pissing down with rain all weekend

Hi Everyone,

I've been windsurfing on and off for a few years in Hobart and am keen to get into it a lot more this summer!

Saw the start of this post and thought that was exactly what I'm looking for, except it doesn't seem to have gone very far yet...

Would anybody mind giving a brief outline of the best locations for general sailing in the different winds that we get around southern Tas?

Thanks in advance!

What sort of sailing do you do.

like Steve says it depends on what you do.

If it's just some flatwater blasting then westerlies see us at Dorans Road (Lauderdale)

Sea breeze will see us relocate to the cremorne lagoon (go past cremorne turn off and take the next one, then left and left, trust me.)

thats the 2 main places I go.

Hi Steve and FoS,

I'm still at a fairly basic level of jump on, go straight then come back again...

So normally i just head off nutgrove and bash through a few waves. Sometimes off Lindisfarne and have been down to Dorans a couple of times now.

I'm guessing that the Cremorne lagoon might be a little less bumpy during a good sea breeze though than the Derwent? Do you head to Dorans when it is blowing anywhere from Northerly to Westerly?
Cheers

Hi Ben
Dorans is ok from NW to SW. Northerly is no good.

Cremorne lagoon is flat water and safe in S and SE sea breezes.

Cheers

heres a few spots:

Henty River- Strahan-speed sailing from NW-SW, most of the time you dont have to worry about tides.this spot changes all the time so Google maps never keeps up with how in looks, length all ways changes due to the water flow.

Port Sorell-speed sailing low tide NW-SW-High tide you can sail every direction if your keen. Easterly winds bring bit over boom height waves.

Stanley- west inlet/east inlet-speed sailing low tide, SSW-SW and NNW speed runs in western inlet.East inlet, Low tide or better half tide from NNE,NE (best) to SW runs.can sail both on high but chop gets up.

Bakers Beach-great for wave sailing near Port Sorell about a 25min drive any tide from S-SW even great on NE-E winds.
