Moaiman Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hi Guys, Finally got some fun wind [around 13K] which was very enjoyable. I was surprised that we virtually had the place to our selves! On a previous occasions it has been 20 k +. Not good for a newbie. Very stressful! The lake has heaps of room to play around in. When I come in and park the boat everything is so close . One minute later I'm at the shop ordering lunch. Then it's back out again. I was surprised how tired i was after a day out. I sail a Nacra 5.2 Number 1114. Hope to see someone else one day ! Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 how long does it take to drive there from maloolabah? , also how big is the lake might be worth a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowling Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Saw you out there on Saturday Peter - went for a sail myself later on. Club racing is on Sundays where there is a good mixed fleet of cats and monos. The lake is one of the best regatta venues in Australia and hosts many national titles and a Worlds in the past. We sail up until easter when there is a regatta on Fri, Sat Sun for anyone who truns up. The website is here http://www.lcsc.org.au/mam/ It's 50 minutes from Mooloolaba.

DrSnapid Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Im gonna be up Noosa way with my Caper cat from 7th-10th July, anyone keen for a sail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TachingCardia Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 DrSpapid, I'm pretty keen for a sail, but alas i'm out of action until I can get my towbar fitting to the new car, that won't be until the 18th July. Lake Cootharaba is a great place, I once sailed my old Sabot there when I was 13 or so. Loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSnapid Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thats a shame... oh well. Maybe next time. Ahhh sabots... memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSnapid Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I'm in peregian beach today. Maybe look to do some sailing this arvo. Lake or river. Local company would be welcome, preferred even! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSnapid Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Well you sunshine coast sailors sure have a gem out there... Kids and I only had limited time this arvo but it was the best sail we ever had. Wind ranged from not quite enough for thrills, to just enough for thrills! Which is perfect when you have the kids on board. Long long reaches are not easy to find on our river at home. And that lake just goes on and on. Plus what a pretty camping area! I'd prefer a proper boat ramp. My trailer is designed for a wet launch but we managed OK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TachingCardia Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hey DrSnapid, what camp grounds did you end up going to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrSnapid Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Boreen Point - all I did was look up the lake cootharaba sailing club and follow my GPS. I wish I had more time to explore - as it was, I arrived there at after 3.30pm so there wasnt any time to look around, I just saw the beach, dragged the cat in, rigged, sailed for about 45 mins and then loaded her back up... I saw some larger yachts in there (none sailing) and a lady sailing a sabre. Also couple learning to windsurf. My kids were happy to point out that we were the 'fastest boat on the lake today' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt15 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I camped @ Boreen Point earlier in the year with the family and some friends. Certainly a fantastic spot for camping, sailing, paddling, fishing, swimming and putting afew beers away watching the sun set. The kids had an absolute ball and I really hope to visit there again this coming Spring/Summer. I can only find the one pic atm of my old Kula Cat sitting on the beach. Without wheels it was super easy to just wheel into the water (5-10 metres from the road). There was another sailor camping with a 14ft Calypso and the first thing he did was sail to the mangroves on the Noosa North shore side of the lake with several crab pots. Unfortunately I left the next day and didn't see if he caught anything but he was pretty confident having done this many times before.

Emmessee Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I am moving up there in December and looking forward to sailing on the lake. It is a magic spot. Anyone wanting a skipper or a crew, I will be around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
