Coronavirus
Sailing was included in the list of outdoor sports for which qualified restart was approved in the Routemap published by the Scottish Government in May. Until 24th Sept there was progressive relaxation of the controls. All has now changed.
- "Bubbles" for organised outdoors activities are now constrained to a single bubble of no more than 30 people
- Overnighting on yachts is now - as with second homes - constrained to one household.
- And mixed household sailing is only allowed on yachts large enough to allow 2m distancing, max 2 households, 6 people excl under 12's
- The details of the RYAS Guidance can be found HERE .
Note that the Clubhouse remains closed except as noted below. You will need to come prepared - no changing rooms and no toilet or shower access yet.
At the weekends: during Supervised Sailing on Sunday mornings and whilst the Indoor/Outdoor Bar is operating on Sunday afternoons, there will be limited access to the clubroom and toilets ONLY. Keep an eye on "What's On" and "News"/Facebook for future plans.
