Easing of COVID-19 Restrictions
Andrew Cox
As you will have seen, NSW is preparing to ease COVID-19 restrictions commencing this Friday 15 May. The NSW Office of Sport has indicated that it is working to provide guidelines and principles for sporting organisations to recommence activity in a safe manner, in adherence with the revised Public Health Orders. However, these guidelines have not yet been finalised. In addition, Australian Sailing is providing an update on Thursday this week to sailing club management nationwide via a video conference.
As of now there is insufficient information to change our club COVID-19 restrictions with clarity. However, with outdoor gatherings of up to 10 people permitted commencing Friday, it would seem changes on the park and on water are allowed under the new Orders.
As such, from Friday 15 May, up to 10 members will be permitted to rig / de-rig in the park or sail together on water. However, there are no other changes to the current club access rules at this time. Importantly, no more than two members are permitted in the clubhouse at one time and there is to be no use of the toilets or change rooms.
Please review all of the current restrictions HERE. Once we receive clarification of the new Public Health Orders we will update this page of our website with any applicable changes.
Thanks for your patience as we work towards safely bringing the club back up to a more normal operation.
