Whilst the club remains closed the committee are keeping up to date with the latest information and advice from the government and RYA. We have met online and are working to ensure that (when we are able) we will be in a position to support any activity. We will share any developments with members by email and through the website and social media.
Insurance
We have had an insurance query from a member which has prompted us to remind you that within our sailing instructions members are required to have ‘adequate insurance, with cover of at least £2,000,000 or the equivalent against third party claims’. We highly recomend you retain any insurance as although not racing it is still possible for boats to be damaged within the dinghy park – as has happened to one of our catamaran members recently.
Online activities
In response to the current lock-down the following activities are (or have) taken place for members;
- Virtual racing: We’re into our fourth week of virtual racing and reports are being published on Yachts and Yachting;
- Quiz: We are publishing weekly sailing-based quiz’s which are on the website: https://shorehamsailing.org/test-the-grey-matter/
- Marlow Rope Show: Marlow Ropes ran their Rope Show online for those that had signed up, and will return to run a splicing workshop.
Club projects
Not all projects and planning have stopped due to coronavirus and we are pleased to report that;
- Committee boat: A deposit has been paid and work has begun.
