    Default Sailboat hire Sydney

    Hello

    My daughter is coming down here to visit for a few days, and I thought it may be a good idea to hire a small sailing dingy, or catermaran for a day. The budget won't stretch to a yacht charter unfortunately.
    There's a hire place at Manly which is close to me, but they only do Kayaks and low powered motor boats, which would be OK I suppose, but I'd prefer to sail.

    Do any of you old salts know where I can hire something on Sydney Harbour, or on Pittwater?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for that Mik.
    I tracked down a Hobie at Balmoral, where I used to launch my MJ and VJ as a kid. We had a great day, and a few close encounters with a fleet of yachts having a race.
    There was a few of the new Moths having a race as well. Incredibly fast, but it took a while for them to get up on the foil after tacking. I was amazed at how high they lift out of the water. A bit higher than shown in that pic.
    We got absolutely saturated in a bit of chop, but it was all good fun and I had the sense to bring some dry clobber with us.
