nothing confirmed yet- see RYA Tweet, but Michael Gove corrected an earlier statement where he inaccurately indicated tennis courts & golf courses could remain open.
I'm not entirely sure how you can be stopped from sailing on the sea by yourself without extensive restrictions in the land travel aspect of getting there.

If Y&Y employ us to do boat reviews we can say we're doing it for a living.....sorted.

Elite sport continues, so I will be dragging the wife out in the corribee to train for the 2024 mixed 2 person keelboat.
She's not impressed, but she can always sit down below with a book. |

Ian Walker of the RYA has posted a link to the proposed legislation in the Facebook group Restart sailing.
The general consensus seems to be that unless it’s altered in the House of Commons , we are in a for a four break from sailing .

My read on the comments on Restart sailing is that there is a bit of a consensus building around organised racing being cancelled but free sailing remaining an option

Think even that is more a hope than an expectation. Though I really hope I am wrong and free sailing will be allowed. Even though, TBH at my club because of the time of year and the current COVID regs , none of us have any interest in opening the club if we cannot race . But I know lots of sailors at other clubs would love to just free sail.

Its that grey area of whether sailing for pleasure (ie not racing) is a sport for some.
What is a bit ridiculous is that I may not be able to sail at my local club but I could wheel my boat down to the river (200m from my house) and go sail up and down the river.... or go kayaking or paddleboarding on the same river.... or I could hop on my bike and ride anywhere I please. |
