Out of the sunshine coast, brisbane, down to Byron. Where along this coast line do you reckon is the best location for sailing to live?

If you could relocate where wud you go? So far I'm liking the look of Byron or up at mooloolaba?

Other suggestions?

cool

Cape Moreton

i agree . considering the amount of wind and sailing you can get regardless of wind direction, somewhere between redcliff, manly and wello and viccy point would be the ideal, even with the water looking like diarrhea. if u like to sail in the early mornings before work, seems like southern goldcoast is the spot

redcliffe water cleaner than broadwater what you been smokin?

you could try Boreen Point (Lake Cootharaba)

1. Great sailing spot
2. Has a great pub
3. friendly locals
4. Stray backpackers
5. See points 2 and 4
6. If you break your gear on the other side you just walk back

Seems like everyone has their own ideas i do agree with Redcliffe having more wind but personally i believe not a nice place to live and not much work. Manly and Wello both good also but a bit of a drive unless you live local and then you need money..........like Vando.
Obviously i pick the Gold Coast except in Westerly(but it is possible) the down side is the Broad Water gets very busy especially in the school holidays, parking and roads are getting congested also.I hear what people are saying about the dirty water but mate last week i was sailing with dolphins and the water was crystal especially high tide, anyway theres always the ocean, most of the time you can live on the Goldie and be 15 mins from your favorite spot, anyway we are full go to Noosa!

Whatever you do don't make the same mistake as me and move to an inner city suburb.

Move to Redcliffe, Sandgate, Redlands - anywhere Bayside where you can smell the beach.

If you move move to a Brisbane suburb your soul will die a little everyday.

uhm, sounds like a place to visit!

No no don't even consider moving further north we've got it all......as depicted in Hoorays pikky below

You Burrum boys even have helicopters to come and pick you up if you break some gear.

Tamborine Mountain!

Yer the lakes always good fun Ive had some good sails there in the past.
Best in a NE though.

Recliffe for sure is a great spot too I should try to get there more often for a sail.
I suppose living 6 min from Wello its easy to just go there and it is a nice spot to sail particularly when the tides up, the water can be quite clear on the SE side.
I think the biggest diff between Reddi,Wello,Manly compare to some of the other spots is the consistency in the wind they are very open spots and plenty of room too.

yeah, burrum is one of the best spots i've sailed. but i think work may be a problem

Burrum is at the northern end of Hervey Bay, as Ducati said bloody awful spot....don't bother

need to pay for new gear.
