An important update from the CEO of RYA Scotland

I am pleased to be able to direct you to the latest Coronavirus guidance from RYA Scotland, Version 6. There has been quite an overhaul of most sections of our guidance to ensure we are as up to date as possible.

We have also included our expectations for boating around the indicative dates provided by the Scottish Government as we move out of restrictions.

There is however a larger than normal caveat around this version of our guidance. Some of the areas that would most benefit from absolute clarity from the Government, are distinctly vague at this time. This is not helpful and as much as we would like to suggest parameters, we would not want to encourage activity which subsequently is deemed to be wrong.

Equally, the dates and the restrictions eased at these dates are not guaranteed. The Government are clear they will be guided by the numbers as the weeks progress.

Where there is doubt or a need for some interpretation, please speak to the team and we will do what we can to assist.

Please rest assured that these queries are with the Scottish Government and they are under no illusion about the importance of the need for clarity across all sport in Scotland.

Wishing you all the best for a swift and successful start to your season in 2021.
