Guest Gollywobbler Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi Deborah Welcome to Poms in Oz I've never been to Brisbane so I can't tell you anything about sailing there. I know that there is a marina in Southport and apparently there are a couple of offshore islands within a day-sail. I imagine that either there will be buoys or that people anchor up overnight. The islands are lovely, I'm told. Contact PommyPaul, I suggest. He was brought up on the Norfolk Broads, has only recently arrived in the area himself (he is in Caloundra but he has a car.) He's hoping to get out on the water again. He is also 31 and single, so if you are single as well I think it is a racing certainty that he would collect you from the airport if you ask nicely! http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/members/pommypaul.html Meanwhile, here are some relevant links as well: Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron (might as well start at the top!) Brisbane Eighteen Footers Sailing Club (Australia) QCYC > Home WMYC Welcome Home As a "big boat" sailor, I can ASSURE you that all the racing owners fall on a dinghy sailor with cries of joy when they are looking for crew. The dinghy boys & girls are always the canniest. E-mail all the clubs, ask questions and I am sure that all of them will give you phone numbers etc of people to contact when you have arrived. Best wishes Gill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
