Well I spent the night in Sullivan’s bay and saw no close parking issues as boats were still coming in at 2.30 in the morning as I got up to the kite pole ring waking me , Saturday afternoon after racing some boats returned to the anchored dingys in Sullivan’s where others had anchored up to them close but it sorted it self out as the breeze started to move in to

  3. We’re not picking on launch owners in all. But some let you down and it doesnt stop it gets worse unsafe and bloody dangerous to some ,, on Friday I was on the cabin top hauling main and a guy flies past in A modern 40 ft thing straight out of the marina I heard him power on passed me just mtr away , I sad down on the cabin top , another yacht was watching and shook his head As the boom swang from side to side and the wave was huge , not trying to seem launch bashing but We yachties have not seen a change in launchies consideration towards other water , yachties , kayakers , walker boarders and others in general see it to ,a Change in the passing rule needs to happen.
