Hi, Just wondering the best spots to sail on Lake Hume. Looks like a lot of the lake foreshore is private farmland.
Anyone sailed up the Table Top end (Bowna Waters boat ramp).
Thanks.
When I lived in Albury (near on 20 years ago!) I virtually gave up windsurfing - bought a boat and went skiing.....but that is another story
.
In the rare moments when the wind was on I windsurfed from a spot off Lake Road, over the bridge near Bellbridge - seemed to be the most popular spot - not sure of the exact location though. I also sailed from the Bowna Waters boat ramp a few times. Back then I was on a slalom board, and/or a formula board.
I also vaguely remember sailing from the Lake Hume Tourist Park on a raceboard a few times.
I reckon the locals still get out when it is windy.
The lake might be spot on for foiling...?
Good luck
Thanks for the reply and info.
Trees in the water might be a bit of a worry for the foil.
There are a couple of windsurfers in Albury, (MattT& Daryl) but they have not been sailing much recently. Maybe Lake Hume is a bit too low (26%)? I sailed at Ebden in Nov when the level was 42%.
The spots to sail from are Ebden, Table Top/Bowna Waters, and Bellbridge. There are also a number of kiters who get out more often.
I am at Yarrawonga, and sail from the Yacht Club here mostly. Nice lawn to rig on, and it is good in SW wind. It is 1 hour from Albury, and the lake level is normally full.
Took a trip to Albury. Here's some pics with the Dam at 30%.

Sorry no idea how to flip them on Seabreeze. They are all right way up on my phones gallery.
