mrblenny Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi, I have a 16ft Hydra and am looking for somewhere affordable on my student budget to store it fully rigged. Ideally I want it parked on rollers close to a nice sailing spot with the mast left rigged so it is only a case of raising the sails and rolling down to the water to get going. Is this a pipe dream? I have sent emails to a few places (Woody Point sail club, Manly etc) but only one reply from Manly Marina saying they are full for years (and I think they were talking about hardstands for "normal" trailer sailers anyway). It crossed my mind that there is a club at Wivenhoe but the website is a little flaky and google maps doesn't show me any boats left rigged on the grass anyway. Cheers, Damian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi Damien Have a look at Cleveland yacht club, they have room! we leave our mast up and just rock up and race. www.cyc.asn.au. There is some one there most Sundays if you want to have a look or have a look at the contact section of the web page.Just a thought Cheers Damien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minicat Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 You might try Lake Samsonvale Sailing club. www.lswsa.org.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrblenny Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks for the info - Lake Samsonvale is the cheapest so far (about $400 a year for new members) but still out of my range :-( There is a sail club at my university, might join them and sell my boat after this Summer season. Get one again when I am not a cashless student anymore :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVSC Admin Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hi Damien, Yes I agree the Brisbane Valley Sailing Club website is a sloow work in progress and flaky. We offer very affordable sailing memberships and race fees especially seeing as you are a student, however we do not have any facilities to store your boat out at Wivenhoe Dam. Is it that you just want the convenience of leaving the baot rigged, or is it to do with your mode of transport and getting the boat from point A to B? If you need any more details, drop an email to brisvalleysailing@hotmail.com Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
