Went down to sandringham yesterday arvo about 3 pm and had a blast on my 118 / 6.7 setup. Pulled a top speed on gps of 27.01. which pretty decent on the big ol board.

What happened to you JayBee ? you disappeared - misses a pretty good session - was planning a good 70-80% of the day with only a few little holes.

I will probably head back down there again today around lunch time if anyone is interested in some good speeed runs . Get some really nice flat water out near the sandbar in the southerly and tide should be fairly low this arvo.

Had been there for a while and got sick of waiting for the storm to move on. When I met you was at the end of my tether.
Will be there today, see you later,

Just back form a recce to sandringham. It is blowing dogs off chains there at the moment. I expect if you are using anything greater then 6 you will be blasted off the water.

Huh? greater than 6 meters? I sailed Dolls Point until about 1:30 and was overpowered on a 4.2...

Just out of curiosity, are you guys talking about Sandringham near Dolls Pt. on Botany Bay ?

Used to be my spot (lived nearby) early 80s. Then the beach 'disappeared' with the building of the then-new airport strip. Went back a few years ago and some sort of beach was back. Only McMoreland's pub had been taken down.

Is it a good spot still ?

Cool stuff. Am going home for Xmas, rels and all. Some live around the corner.
Will try to borrow some gear and sail by (good spot on NEers, if I remember).
Cheers.
