It is such a good angle for a SE'r. And you'd be travelling with the boat traffic.
Does anyone do it? Launch from somewhere over near Manly?
Would be seriously gusty in and around Manly. Fairlight may be a better bet but difficult parking.
I sailed by Manly Aquarium today, some big gusts coming through - struggled with a 4.7m!
Yep, I sail in the harbour if the surf is a bit wild and I'm short on time. Straight south best, SSW ok, SSE/SE I go to Collaroy but
some sail Clontarf in SE with big gear.
Went yesterday arvo, launched off Manly at oceanworld end but usually go from other end and can get out in one run. It's really
good if south as funnels but you don't get bashed by the chop like Botany. Never been hassled by Waterways but been blasted
by the ferries a few times!
Today it's strong but really gusty as SSW.
Have to be careful with the ferries, they have right of way (as I'm sure you know!). We're also not meant to sail through the ferry channels...
Where do you normally launch? By Hugo's/Bavarian?
Normally launch at eastern end thru boats but stay well clear of Manly ferry. Strong again today, SSW.
R u living in Fairlight, I'm near the cemetary.
Was fun at 12:30 (4.7m again) but the westerly really increased the gustiness of it. Yep, just up the road from you Tomp.
Park on West Esplanade to sail by the Aquarium or East Esplanade to sail out from between the boats (closer to Skiff Club). It's 2 Hour parking which may double if you have a Manly Parking permit.
