Just wondering where to speed sail in Brisbane would like to do some speed sailing to see just how slow I am!!!

I sail Manly a lot no flat water there for speed sailing

First Tip don't listen to anything Remo says as he teabags.
as Mark said talk to and follow the fast guys around

Vando is still cut from the other night when I T-Baged him in front of MK. lol Odin was jellous

Hi elke,

Come down to manly. we are all friendly and will be happy to show you were to sail and help with technique pointers etc.
the guys above are all good fellows who like to joke, especially mkseven. manly is good in all wind conditions and directions.
he's having a bit of a joke with you in his wind direction post.

Now, Now Mk. Doing 25kts on a wave board and making a video of it doesn't make it speed sailing. Even if it is at Manly...

I can't believe no-one has mentioned the Redcliffe speed strip yet! All the wind you want and flat as a tack.

manly is fine to start unless we get a big westerly or by magic a northerly , just follow steve one day you should be able to keep up with him easy

Depends on the sailor, a lot of the Wello [behind the bank speed queens] cant sail in chop!!!!

Sounds like I opened a can of worms need to get the lid back on it stick to the toppeck.

I thought everyone knew about the Queens speed strip already, so didn't suggest it.

Yes but flat water (and wind) equals speed so even the fastest guy in QLD sails from Manly to Wello bank or Lota for the best numbers. All that part in the middle is plain old good fun but the numbers don't lie. The OP is asking for Speed Locations and from where he launches the closest is Wello and Lota for flat water.

Ilke - I suggest having a look on www.ka72.com/ and you can type in locations to see speeds and people's tracks. This gives a good insight to where people are achieving their numbers. This combined with GPSTC shows who's quick and where.

It's also good to note what Mark is trying to point out if you can handle your gear with good speed in rougher conditions when heading to some smoother water it will only make your numbers better. Some of the fastest guys in Australia all sail in the bay (Manly/Wello) so just stick with them and ask for pointers if required.

Cheers
Marty

i'm not fast so i'll keep that in mind as go faster tip
