I am sure you will have seen today’s latest developments on social distancing, and wondered what it means for your sailing. You will know that we have already closed the clubhouse as a social venue and also suspended club organised sailing activity. It is our understanding that members may continue to sail their own boats so long as sensible social distancing is maintained. This is consistent with the most recent advice from the RYA, and we will notify you if their advice changes. Members should minimise use of the changing facilities, ideally checking that no one else is present before entering.

We plan to continue to issue harbour / mooring and compound permits at the sessions on 22nd and 27th of March. We have an approach to this that will maintain social distancing – you will be asked to queue on spaced chairs and only approach the collections desk when invited to do so. However if you are in one of the higher risk groups identified by the government, we would encourage you to stay away. As noted in the earlier communication, we are not able to refund harbour and mooring permits (purchased on your behalf from the Langstone Harbour Board) even if you decide not to sail this season, as the Langstone Harbour Board do not permit it.

Further communication will follow on cruiser launch.

Treasurer, on behalf of the Executive Committee
