Works good with W to S. Best with W wind. At the Bodensee suddenly storms can hit. Therefore a storm warning system has been created, using orange flashing lights, and ships put up a balloon on the mast. Look out for these signals to avoid getting into problems.
East from Friedrichshafen to Langenargen. Here towards the yacht club, take the street "Malerecke" to the harbor, and it will pass by the beach. Parking available at the harbor. Walk for about 100m, but you can leave your gear at the spot before you park.
