Howdy all, firstly the advice i have been given for treating tennis elbow and sailing with it has worked a treat. The pain is still there but atleast im on the water.

Im looking for someone who wouldnt mind giving some casual lessons, im happy to pay. I just want to cover getting the best out of my gear, setting up and general sailing technique ( im sure i need lots of help there )

Thinking of going away for a weekend sailing and camping can anyone recommend any places?

sail safe

If you're going north there is the camping ground at the northern end of Lake Cartharaba, just north of Noosa where you can camp on grass next to the waters edge on a big lake that's mostly chest deep and half salt, half fresh water.

Hi Lee1972,
I reckon the best thing for you to do is just go to a good spot in Sydney, have a look around and basically ask one of the local sailors for some tips.
Im sure most guys would be more than happy to show you how to rig your gear properly and give sailing tips.
Even if you are on the water ask someone standing in shallows for tips. Most spots like Kyeemagh, Long Reef, Wanda, Palm Beach and Narrabeen lake will have people willing to help.
Windsurfing is a social, fun sport so introduce yourself and ask away.
As to going away for the weekend try Jimmy's Beach at Hawks Nest, Approx 2 1/2 hours drive north of Sydney. Nice spot, clean water and usuallt flat.
Any of the lakes like Munmorah, Macquarie, Budgewoi etc on the central coast all have great spots.
3 hours north is Pacific Palms and Wallis and Smiths lake. Big expanses of water, pretty shallow and warm water. Just go adventuring and have fun.
Cheers.

i recommend Pacific palms widnsurfing is you call Gabe or Chris kellerman at the boatshed, they are exceptional teachers and the area is an excellent place for a weekend away.

Forget Smiths Lake there is no water in the lake at the moment.Wallace lake is great out wide in a noreastly launching from the famous boat shed.
