ELYC Covid Response Plan

29 May 2020 4:09 PM | Millar (Administrator)

Phase 1 relaxes rules on watersports from 29th May. The ELYC covid team have reviewed government guidelines and RYA guidance and created our club policy as we enter Phase 1.

Phase 1 can be summarised as:

Club sailing is a group exercise and not allowed or appropriate in Phase 1.

Individual sailing is allowed and appropriate. You may only sail on your own or with members of your household as crew.

Sailing in a buddy system is recommended for safety while maintaining distance.

The club will provide guidance to experienced sailors on how to sail as individuals safely and with respect.

The granary and sunlounge may be used to access personal equipment.

The club house will remain closed.

Club RIBs may not be used in any circumstances. If you see an emergency on the water, call the coastguard.

Please review the club Covid response plan, found here.

For convenience, the North Berwick Harbour Trust Guidelines can be found on the NBHT website here.

For convenience, we also provide a link to RYA Scotland's guidance information on returning to boating.

As many of you will have noticed, our clubhouse roof is leaking, with tubs in the café and buckets in the attic, it’s clear that it now needs to be replaced to protect our much-loved clubhouse for the future.

The good news is that work is underway. Planning permission has been granted, and the project is expected to cost around £50,000. We’ve already secured a £5,000 grant from the North Berwick Trust, are applying for more funding, and will carefully use club reserves while keeping the club financially secure.

Fundraising will play an important part, and we’re keen to make this a fun and engaging process for everyone. Our target for this year, 2026, is £5,000. There are lots of ways to get involved
