The site offers convenient access to a section of Durban harbour in which windsurfing is permitted (see club constitution for details of windsurfing area). This sailing area is suitable for windsurfing in both NE and SW winds (prevailing winds in Durban) and is relatively safe for beginners.
The windsurfing area (on the water) is public property and is not exclusively allocated to windsurfing, nor is it controlled by the boardsailing club. Therefore you are more than welcome to windsurf in this area without making use of the club facilities but parking and rigging is very inconvenient using alternative access.
If you would like to make use of the Bay Site parking and rigging area, please either join the club or arrange to make payment for a day visit (currently R20/sailor). Naturally we would prefer windsurfers to become members of the club (see why join) but in some instances this does not make sense and visitors are then welcome to pay the day fee.
Note that the fee and membership applies only to sailors. Family and friends are welcome as guests of members / day sailors and do not need to pay an additional fee.
Encourage your friends and family to try out windsurfing on a moderate day and get them hooked on this great sport. Please arrange with a committee member to make use of the board.
