Not sure about Sandy Point.
Seen some reasonable size boats put in at Pelicans, up around 6m.
I have spent a bit of time down at the Lagoon, but that is only dingy launching down there and can be pretty nasty.
Obviously as in every where your always dependant on conditions at the time.
I launched my boat at sand point a 8m ally there last year no real problems punctured a tyre on the way in trying to make a turn on the track in as the length of my trailer but thats the only problem we had
its easier to launch and retrieve on a high tide as the beach drops off quicker and when we retrieved the boat just parked the car on a set of max trax
and you can have another car with a snatch strap on it if you need it
Yep if I had a glass boat that's what I would be doing, or a big Ali for that matter.
Also if you actually have accommodation/camping on the station or not might be something to consider.
