About WBAQ Messabouts and Events

NOTE: Due to the wide range of boat sizes and types, and relative seaworthiness, it always remains the Skipper’s decision whether to participate or not.
Aim to launch & depart from ramps by 0900 hrs unless otherwise advised. All week long events have a “Plan B” to be Wivenhoe Dam or Atkinson’s Dam. For last minute information contact a Messabout Committee member (see ‘The Log’ for details)

More details on launching for this event. If you are launching a canoe use the canoe launching pontoon in Orleigh Park at the end of Montague Road West End. If you are launching a craft from a trailer you have two options the first being the ramp at the South Brisbane Sailing Club, If you intend to launch here you will find an orange gate across the road into the sailing club, this is kept closed but not locked and may be opened for access to the ramp. No boat and trailer parking spaces are provided, however car spaces are available just outside the club so if you are happy to separate the car and trailer no problem. The second option is the launching ramp on riverside drive where 15 car and trailer spaces are provided to get to this ramp you proceed about half way along Montague Road and turn right at Jane Street down to Riverside Drive , turn right again until you come to the ramp. Traffic may be heavy around Jane Street as a Market is held there every Saturday Morning, Hope this is helpful if you are going to attend. Ring Darrell if attending please.
