About Drummoyne Sailing Club

Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NE, so wind from the SW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NE. Wind from the NE blows onshore, wind from the SW blows out to sea, and wind from the SE or NW runs along the shore. 31 sailing schools or clubs and 58 boat hire places within 10 km. The town to stay in is Sydney. Within 5 km we also list 4 wind sports spots.
