Corona Virus - subscription renewals

I am determined to change my attitude in some way if I survive, perhaps laugh more, (certainly going to buy me a new bike ), not sure yet, but, something.

Originally posted by Riv A2Z, club has no way of restricting access by owners to their own craft. Many owners live within 5mins walk of their boat. It is a personal decision based upon their own moral, and ethical position  to take an informed decision as to whether they use their boat. However the centre of a river by yourself is isolated. The foreshore is large and proximity easily avoided if one should wish.

I understand the club can’t physically restrict access, but it can - and should - put out a statement to all members that sailing is not allowed until further notice. That is simple, clear and unambiguous advice. Otherwise someone who can walk there will feel entitled, and someone who can only drive there will be envious and join them. It is NOT a personal decision, the government has been very clear. It is regrettable that the RYA has not been clearer with its message to avoid this situation.

At any rate, stay safe and act responsibly. Hope to see you all on the racecourse in the not to distant future :)

I have found over the years that sailors are probably in the higher intellectual band, have more responsible attitudes etc, what chance has government got with less organised people?

Agree. Sends totally the wrong message.
