COVIDSafe Sailing Update - 26 August 2020

In response to increased cases of COVID-19 in NSW, Dr Kerry Chant (Chief Health Officer - NSW) has advised of further public health measures to minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission related to participation in community sports. These updated recommendations will help clubs  to meet the NSW Government’s aim of achieving no community transmission in NSW and will support community sports to continue operating safely.

In summary, the recommendations are that all crew on boats sailing from MHYC should be residents of Zone A as defined in the attached diagram. Boats can sail against other boats from other clubs, provided they sail from Zone A and return without getting off the boat. No overnight sleeping on boats that are racing is permitted. These recommendations will be reviewed by NSW Health at the end of September.
