khayyam 101 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Can anyone tell me about the suitability of the Hokianga for dinghy sailing? We're going to be in Rawene for a bit and could take the Hobie, just wondering if it's worth the trouble or not. Are the ramps tidal? How's the sailing? Can't find that there are any clubs sailing regularly, but seems like it should be good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 794 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 It's mint, huge areas of sheltered water, just avoid getting sucked out the entrance if theres no wind great place for a sailing dinghy, plenty of rivers and places to explore, adventure time! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 254 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 There is a bunch of sailing dinghies at Rawene on the eastern side, just along from the Boatshed cafe (below Clendon House) and a ramp there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
