About Sydney Amateur Sailing Club
Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces SE, so wind from the NW blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing SE. Wind from the SE blows onshore, wind from the NW blows out to sea, and wind from the SW or NE runs along the shore. 31 sailing schools or clubs and 55 boat hire places within 10 km. The town to stay in is Sydney. Within 5 km we also list 5 surf spots, 8 wind sports spots and 2 dive sites.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
