Vicky point if you've got family to load as its got a pontoon, and no narrow bays to go up and down if you're not used to reversing a trailer.

Raby bay is well protected from most wind directions.

None of them on nice days on the week-ends or public holidays.
Problem is not the ramp as such. The carpark is the biggest worry.

Underline HIGH TIDE!!! That ramp killed my prop and my self esteem at low tide.

Try Raby Bay. Are you glass or alloy?

Cheers,

Viccy point if you are by yourself. Just watch the current and have it pushing your boat toward the pontoon.(using fenders of course) Reddy bay if you are with someone and you can drive off and on the trailer. Raby Bay has too few places to pull up and drop off people for mine. Only one little patch of sand that you can squeeze 2 boats in and the other side is all rocks. Not good for Glass boats! South Manly is not a bad one either!

Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club at Manly has a 5 lane ramp with 2 pontoons and a beach! You need to be a member but if you are going out in the bay reasonably often then its worth it, secure lock up car and trailer parking too!
