A great downwinder in 20 kts, large swell and butt clenching rides on the rollercoaster.
Looks like a fun one mate! I looked ya up on google earth, what a cool spot you live in... I would love to visit those barrier islands. The north end of Moreton island must have some heavy surf and it looks largely undeveloped! The inlet between Moreton and Stradbroke looks fascinating, the white shoals reminds me of the Bahamas (one of my favorite cruising grounds)!
It's a great playground, with lots of marine life including dugong, turtles, stingrays, dolphins, flying fish, sharks and even humpback whales during the migration season. We mainly sail the western bay, you need a boat to sail eastern bay. A group of us have speed sailed the channels in the Amity Banks (the white shoals). It's great fun but a real mission to get there.

I could use another short mast track forward of the existing track for strong winds/pushing speed.
But it's working well for me as it is, in the 3 sessions I've had.

10 to 12km as the crow flies and 26km under sail.
