The map above is a description of the area that we have at our disposal (section / area 1 of the Dam). Typically, I sail in this area when I can get a sail in before work and I know the water there is pretty clear of weed.

The anchorage is a sandy bottom, similar to WWFs, with some small shale/ rocks on the bottom. This area is zoned as a Swimming Area, which means there is little in the way of submerged rocks.

The prevailing wind is generally from the NE, so the anchorage should be well protected from wind. However, the last two times I sailed here the wind was more from the NW and this caused significant chop just to the North of the remembrance monument.

The organisers have requested that if we could anchor as near as possible behind the monument, this would be nice and create the best opportunity for photo ops with the monument. However, this will depend, to some degree on the wind direction. If a NW blows, anything to the N of the monument will be popping greenies. Even if it does blow there is some good protection further around near the TF72 table /area. Last time I took my DE out for a test run into the NW wind I had water over the bridge!
