yes, as others have said,a blanket lock down is a blunt tool. Feeling a bit sorry for those in Cornwall. The area I'm in has quite a low incidence also. I suppose we've got to protect the NHS nationally from overload though.

........My Wife who is an NHS Nurse has worked through all of this, seeing patients on the ward, scrubbing in the theater and doing assessments. Over 60 and with asthma she has had one covid test this year. Confused

The "Club" is a meeting place, where people congregate.  I am just grateful we can go down local river and enjoy being outdoors.  A lock down with only an hour a day allowed for exercise would not make that practical for me.  I think present position is tenable and with a degree of logic.  It's never fair.

Well Hythe Health and Safety SC couldn't wait to shut down but then it's run by a bunch of Girls, the Lake issued an edict today to the Fisherfolk which went something along the lines you can come down with your own house hold or one other and fish as much as you like, nothing mentioned about us second class sailing citizens, but they aint going to lock it up so we're planning on carrying on. We're all single handers concerned about our mental health and self start and finish anyway so nobody is going to know what we're doing.

RYA update clearly states during 4 week lockdown you can sail, no bars or restaurants at clubs, but they can do takeaway, so you can order your drink or food and sit on the patio after sailing and eat and drink.

Where have you seen that? The latest from the RYA I've found is suggesting that all clubs must close?

Your link says the RYAs current understanding is that sailing clubs will have to close, not that they can remain open for sailing and sarnies on the patio.

The RYA and the sports sector throughout have presented strong arguments about the importance of activity during the pandemic, but for the next month most facilities will have to close. It is clear the Government does not want to grant multiple exemptions at this time and are focused on protecting the NHS.

Our current understanding of the situation (subject to any local restrictions) is as follows: 

  • Recreational boating from a public outdoor space for single households and support bubbles or with one other person (with social distancing) may be possible
  • Public waterways and beaches will remain open during the lockdown
  • Outdoor sports centres and amenities (which includes sailing clubs and watersports centres) will have to close
  • Members may be able to access boats for essential checks and maintenance, however, this will need to be agreed with their club/marina/harbour authority, with individuals taking personal responsibility for meeting Government guidance

Just my interpretation, you may sail, restaurants can do takeaway, you can eat outdoors, you can visit your club to check on your boat with clubs permission. However you.Gov as changed twice in the last hour.

Hmm, you said “RYA update clearly states...” when it very definitely doesn’t state those things  Confused

But whatever, who wants to sail this time of year if it’s not a race?!
