EASING OF LOCKDOWN STRATEGY
Starting 21 May 2020

Date 17 May 2020

Dear Member

The committee have considered the following points per RYA guidelines and are mindful of the spirit of government guidance

• Risk assessments (available on request colin.brockbank@btinternet.com)
• Hygiene
• Social distancing

We do, as soon as possible, want the club to resume its normal activities, but in the meantime propose a limited first step to this end.

Activity	Allowed?	Timing	Days/Time	Comment
Racing	No	-	-	-
Training	No	-	-	-
Leisure Sailing	Yes	Starting 21st of May	All Days / times except Tuesday mornings	No Juniors (under 18)
Work on my boat	Yes	Starting 21st of May	All Days / times	-

+++
PLEASE NOTE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL POINTS IF MEMBERS WISH TO LEISURE SAIL. IT IS STRESSED THAT MEMBERS DOING SO, SAIL ENTIRELY AT THEIR OWN RISK.

1. Within the boat park and on entry to and exit from the pontoons, 2-meters social distancing to be observed. Gathering of people should be avoided.
2. Hand sanitisers, on the carpark gate and in the toilet to be used.
3. The club strongly recommends members look at the forecast before they go to the club and not to sail if conditions are not suitable. Only experienced sailors should leisure sail in the meantime. Buoyancy aids are mandatory.
4. We recommend a buddy system where there is another member sailing should you need assistance.
5. Singlehanded boats are allowable and double handed boats but only with a household member as a crew.  (no club boats)
6. The club will review this policy at the end of May as we all want to get back to what we enjoy as soon as possible. We appreciate this gradual easing may be disappointing for members but we must stay safe.

Club Facilities	Can I use?	Timing
