Good boat launching ramps in Sydney
Greetings all. After a somewhat stressful launch/retrieval at Apple Tree Bay at the weekend, I wondered if any of the forum members could suggest some decent launch ramps in Sydney. Ideally with pontoons/jetties next to the ramp for an easy tie up (unlike Apple tree which involves climbing a rock wall, running over a bridge and hopefully floating your boat past the rocks & bridge without collision! Cheers, FP

One of the best is Bayview (Rowland Reserve). Only trouble is the parking is extremely expensive. Used to be $72 for a weekend, now about $45, but still exy. Roseville Bridge has good ramps with pontoons, but dangerous overhanging trees which could take out your mast. I have written to National parks about it, but they are tree huggers, and there has been no change.

If you are quick, Parsley Bay ramp is still open. Dropped by there on Sunday and it was operating, and the sign said that it will close at the end of May.
