Some fishermen out, elderly couple self isolating on their Canoe in the middle of the river. Some people visiting their boats. No one actually sailing that I've seen. As long as you are not in danger of transmitting the virus to others and take little risk then ok.

Standard Operating Procedure..... a sh*tty write up in the Daily Mail with some pejorative stereotyping perhaps???

I wouldn't know. Foolish to make any claims without knowing what's actually going on on the ground, and I'm not within walking distance of any sailing clubs.

I know of somewhere where the club is shut, but some people are still sailing - nothing organised, just going out sailing.  


I don't feel any need to name and shame, but it's a coastal club and the decisions to sail are not really being taken by the club en masse, just individuals with access to their boats on a public foreshore and/or swinging mooring....


Does it reflect badly on the club anyway?  Sure.

Do some members voice a concern to this?  Sure.

Do those still sailing care?  No.

I have always found sailing people to be friendly and helpful.

I agree, I'm active on a few forums and while most are very civilised (like this one) one or two (the ones I visit infrequently) can be very confrontational. It may be that they are more representative of life in general but thankfully that is not the case with most of the people I meet day to day. This is definitely a time when we'll all benefit from being nice to each other, both here and in 'real life'.

I am with Jim on this one. At this time we need more kindness and empathy and less finger pointing. 
All the clubs I have any connection with are closed and I haven’t heard even the tiniest whisper of any one sailing .
