Once the initial rush of fatalities is over and we go back to work, Covid will still be there. It's not going away. It will still kill vulnerable people, just not at the same unmanageable rate.
Therefore hopefully we will all be able to reduce our vulnerability by changing work and lifestyle patterns at certain times of the year. An example might be not going on cruise ships if you feel vulnerable during the flu season Sept to April each year. We may see vulnerable people wearing masks during that period. |

Down here in Oz, the different states have different rules. I think some ban sailing entirely - but that means that one could ride a bike down to a nearby club and go for a swim but not sail, even if it was quietly puttering around a pond.
In my state, it's officially OK to sail as it is classed as exercise. I'm not quite sure how motoring around in a yacht is "exercise", but it's officially permitted. However, one cannot travel very far to get to the water without risking being fined at a roadblock set up to monitor travellers. I'm not affected by any government ban personally, and as Race Officer of my club I took the initiative to propose we end our racing season early, so I'm not in any way downplaying the issue - merely pointing out that apparently reasonable people and authorities can have different views on it.

The clubs that I thought were still sailing are not.
It was just an update to their website to tell members that was required My faith in dinghy sailors is restored! |

Can't see tube and mass transport reopened any time soon, working patterns are going to be disrupted until at least 2021.
Should add to general public. Edited by 423zero - 14 Apr 20 at 9:38am |

And this, children, is why internet mobs and name and shame is such a bad idea. |

I would disagree, I am aware of at least one club who has changed the information to their members today. And I hope this discussion has got others thinking about following lockdown more carefully. But I agree that throwing names out into the internet is not a good plan. Any clubs near you Jim that you are concerned about as far as lockdown adherence? ( as you suggested, without mentioning names!) |

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 .

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 have always found sailing people to be friendly and helpful.
